How to Lore
Hey y'all! I'm CayCay, owner of CayCay's Lore Store, a medium to fairly successful lore shop in the art forum. I know the trade well enough to help you, I think. Don't look at the lore of dragons I don't mention, please. I don't follow my own rules a lot because I'm lazy.
Anyway, let's get one thing straight. There is no "right" way to make lore. There is no "wrong" way. But I'm not here to talk about which way works better. I'm here to tell you about how I make money on this website doing it.
In fact, I'm also here to teach myself. I've wanted to write this guide for the longest time, and maybe help people who didn't know where to start. Since it's easier to follow by example, I've decided to do this with you guys. :)
