A long time ago, a girl thought it would be great if, instead of another RP guild, she made a writing guild - a place where people could go to post their writing, and other users could offer suggestions for improvement, or ask questions.
That guild was called The Character & Story Development Guild, and it enjoyed mild success for a few months, until activity tapered off, and the guild died.
This girl is here today in the hope that with a fresh start, CSD will once again prove to be a valuable resource for writers and roleplayers.
But, she can't do it alone. In order to work like the great thinktank it was imagined to be, CSD needs people, and lots of people. People who enjoying writing, people who enjoy reading, people who enjoy helping others.
Are you one of those people?
Are you a member of CSD?
The girl isn't asking much, just a willingness to open up and talk to people about writing. So, hey, if you're one of those people, welcome to the CSD.

Members: CSD accepts anyone who replies, period. We don't discriminate based on who you are (it's the internet, after all) or how well you write - after all, the purpose of CSD is for people to get better at writing.
The forums and their uses:
The Main Forum is for announcements and stickies, and other official threads.
Writing is for you to post your short stories and poetry, and receive and give critique.
Story Concepts is for ironing out plots kinks and filling in holes and whatnot.
Character Concepts serves a similar function, but for specific characters instead.
The Billboard is for advertising your stuff.
Fan Discussion is for fangasming over your favorite series.
General Discussion is for totally unrelated conversations, contests, spam, etc.
And the Crew subforum is just there to look pretty. No, really, that's what it's there for.
Rules: Gaia TOS, right? So there's not much else I have to add, except for rules on critiquing.
1. The goal is to help people. Please don't viciously tear someone down if their writing stinks, or you don't like their fanfic, or whatever. And try not to just say "I like/hate it" and then walk away. That's not really all that helpful.
2. A critique is an opinion. It is not the end-all, be-all. Your feelings probably will get hurt, but it's not intentional. Just remember that we're here to help each other, not to bring you down.
Just keep that in mind, and everything will be fine.
