Hello there, I have got a little topic I would like to ask about. In particular it is in regards to fictional/creative systems and their place in the RPG Forum. I am currently constructing an in-depth magic system article that will serve as an 'outside' source for explaining magic in some advanced RP's I hope to start up, I wish to post this in-depth article in a place that would leave it open for other users to use in their own RP's, should they find it interesting enough. So I was originally working under the assumption of posting it in the 'Articles & Guides' sub-forum.
However, the threads in the articles & guides sub-forum are all aimed for a more grounded reading, they deal with out of character concepts and methods of writing rather than a rigid creative system design purely for in-character purposes, or so I have found so far. So I was wondering if that section would be the right place to post such an article, or should I seclude it to the Gallery section, as it is a fictional system and literary work of my own design?
I've read quite a few articles in the articles & guides sub-forum and I'm sure I could structure my own article in a manner that may fit in with the feel and tone of a lot of the articles that exist there. I am just concerned that I may be foolishly/ignorantly posting a mountain of work into the wrong section.
To clarify; I wish to write an in-depth article informing readers about a very specific magic system of my own design and I am unsure if this would be out of place in the 'Articles & Guides' sub-forum. Does such a post better belong to 'The Gallery' section, as it is more of a literary work as well as a guide?
I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm kind of nervous about posting in the wrong area as a new user.
