User blog comment:VegasFox/Should SFW have a running storyline?/@comment-209421-20120225103055

Actually, Vegas, you have a good point, and something we could work on - a collection of Roleplays, so not everyone is involved in one at a time (and if there is everyone on one, there's others within a similar universe). That would be what I would call the metaverse, a world outside individual fanfiction and one-off roleplays, but a theme that spans multiple, interconnected roleplays, similar to how Marvel and DC work storylines (Such as the recent DC 'Blackest Night' arc, which spanned every single comic, and resulted in a universal reset). The smaller roleplays could still be there, either as a 'limited run' or a one-off, but roleplays organized by the admins/roleplay co-coordinators (non-admin roleplay chiefs) would be the big one.

The next stage of that metaverse idea is to add in a second roleplay source, probably a forum, where talkplays and some of the other, larger, roleplays can occur, so that edit conflicts don't occur.
