Your story can be categorised into one of the following:

• Stories (with subcategories)
• Tales
• Legends
• Fairy Tales
• Recipes
• Journey

Below you’ll find a brief description of each category and how to use it.

Fairy Tales

Fictional stories told for entertainment purposes that can also contain lessons of moral value. Fairy tales usually involve enchantment and typically feature entities such as fairies, elves, giants, dragons, goblins or witches. Use the map if you wish to disclose where in the world these mythical creatures reside.

Tales

This category features location-based stories. These stories could, for instance, centre around a castle that is still standing or a certain town with a unique tale of its own. Use the “spin the globe” function to find a location of interest before publishing.

Legends

Legends can be very old stories passed down through time, inspirational in nature. Legends usually have a hero character at the centre of the story and they are often set in fantastical places.

Recipes

This category includes site-specific food, the origins of a recipe, regional eats, restaurant reviews etc. If you have a recipe you’d like to share, be sure to include a list of ingredients and instructions so that others can replicate your dish.

Journey

The interactive map helps you document everything from the startpoint to the final destination and all of the places you visited in between. This feature enables others to read and experience your story in the place that it is set.

To write a story, go into your profile page and click on the top right icon: 'Write Your Story'. Here you can select a category for your story, add a title and location, as well as edit the timeline. Insert your story and images, preview your story, and decide if you want to publish it publicly or privately. Please view an intro video

When editing your story, you can upload a main picture to feature at the top of the page, or add images throughout the body of the text. The 'image button' at the top of the 'write storyline' section will prompt you to select an image from your desktop. You can select as many images as you want.

That is completely up to you! When editing your story, you have the option to publish it on the “public” or the “private” map. If you publish it on the public map, your story will be available for all to see. If you prefer to keep your story private or share exclusively with your family/friends/audience, you must choose the private map. This feature is only available to subscribers.

Open your account, you may need to sign in. To edit your profile click on your username or avatar in the top right corner of the page. Select “about me” and then “profile”. You can now edit and review your profile such as:
