The biggest of problems we all face as writers, is there is always the
chance, that we put our TLC into a character sheet, only to have it
rejected. That stings, but its certainly happened to anyone who plays
text based role playing games online at least once.

I have seen some people archive their character sheets and store them
away on personal role playing websites so that their hard work is not
for nothing if one group doesn't approve them.

You also have the option of beginning your own game at any time, and
setting your own standards.
