Creating a plot
A plot is basically a story. You don't need a story for your site, however it will make your site much more interesting!
Your plot should be original and unique, and not just something you thought up on the spot, it should be detailed. At first you can just think of a sentence....
e.g. "We need your help because they're dying."
You can expand that into more detail...
e.g. "Our species are currently suffering from an epidemic flu, we need your specialist help to prevent us from becoming extinct."
And even expand it even more!
e.g. "A few months ago, some beast came rampaging through our city, destroying homes and important facilities, basically causing chaos. It brought with it a horrible epidemic disease. We need your expert help to prevent us from becoming extinct."
See how I made it longer and more detailed? You should try it, and maybe come up with a longer story... if I continue expanding the above, here's the result:
"An old shrivelled creature hobbled up to you. It looked like a creased elephant with crumpled wings. It held its frail leg and pointed it at you. "Greetings fellow traveller. Have you come to help us?" Your face creases up with confusion. It gives you an odd look. "Oh, you do not know? I am the wise woman of the north! Did you not hear of me? My name is Florica. You may think I am a bit odd don't you? Coming up to a stranger and asking if they could help." Florica gives a chuckle.
"Well, a few months ago, a great unknown beast came rampaging through our city like a flash flood; destroying homes and important facilities like health centres, schools and hospitals. Our people have now given the unknown beast a nick-name... the "chaos wind". It basically crushed our city like a gust of wind blowing some sand. And to make matters worse, it brought us a souvenir from where it came from... an epidemic disease. It spread like wild fire, all ages, from children to the elderly caught it. I am one of few people who has not caught it yet! Nobody who caught this has survived. We desperately need help, and if possible your help to prevent us from dying out."
Like it? Well you can easily get to that result! Just try it out!
