Keep in mind, I'd like the plot descriptions to be a bit more descriptive. But you cannot PRE-DECIDE the outcome of your plot, nor can you GOD-MOD.
For example, on my second example, Bella is planning to dump Severus in the lake. But let's say that Severus socks her in the nose while Rodolphus is carrying him toward the lake and Rodolphus drops him while they try to stop the bleeding and Severus escapes. Well, that's the end of the mini-plot, unless they go after him and try again. But Severus can't have pre-knowledge of this plan to kidnap him unless someone tells him in RP beforehand. Get what I'm saying?
Another thing, you cannot make someone do something. I.e. Godmodding. You cannot make Severus submit to his doom. Severus can fight you off if he wants to. The whole point of mini-plot is to get a general idea of what you're PLANNING but don't know what is going to happen. It's all up in the air as to what really happens. Just like real life.
So, you see, it is very easy. Once you have written out your MARVY mini-plot, wait for approval from the HM or I, which we will add in green writing at the bottom of your form, and then you are set to go. But before you can do it, you must get the little stamp of approval (APPROVED[/color]).
When your Mini-plot is finished, let the HM or I know, and we will lock the thread, and put a big FINISHED at the end of your Mini-plot form.
