Right then, here goes...
I am in the process of creating my first set of works here and I was wondering if anyone had any good plots etc that hadn't worked for them but were good ideas.
I have recently had a small brainstorm and wanted to get opinions. Let me set the background....
I play a text-based game called Shadows of Isildur. The game is an intricate, amazing, interactive game where you play with dozens of othe players online. The world is of course, Tolkien's world. It contains the city of Osgiliath and its garrison. The city is flourishing, people everywhere, and other people like you to interact with. The game is entirely Roleplay intensive and is filled with clans, shops and plots. By the way, I highly reccomend this website, if you are a lotr fan, you WILL love it.
Now. Because I have become so attached to this interactive world which is controlled by people such as you and me, I have thought about writing a fan fic for it. Since it is based on LOTR itself and the admins there stick to Tolkien's works as much as possible, I was wondering if I created one, would I be able to submit it here if I wrote a background on it etc? All coments welcomed, thanks

Hi Drew. And welcome. 
Sounds very interesting that RPG. I suggest you check the guidelines before posting a story on this archive. It should answer your questions as to whether or not your story is suitable. If you have any questions, let us know.
do.

Ok, everything I have planned is within the rules/restrictions. One more thing though. If I want to set out the rpg, the different places etc within it, would I do this as a story or on a message board or somewhere else?

Oh, good.
To answer your question, as an author's notes or prologue to the fic. Not all our fic readers read the forum.
do.

If I want to make chapter 1 the prologue, then add the real stories later, is it possible to add them as chapter 2,3,4 etc etc after I have posted the prologue as chapter one or do I have to add the prologue with one of the actual stories?

Hi Drew.
I think the best way to go is to put your prologue into chapter one.
