Notebook.ai

Is it okay to use pages (i.e. the character format pages) in place of other pages (i.e. the creature pages) even though there are specific page types set aside for them?

Alright, weird title, I know. But my question is: are we allowed to use the pages on Notebook.ai for types and formats outside of their intended purpose?

For example, the Creatures page format is locked behind Premium, which I, personally, don’t have at the moment. Would it be considered acceptable to make a Characters page, except filled out with all of the information that would usually go on a Creatures page? For clarification, I would be talking about the species itself, not about a certain character; the entire page would be dedicated solely to the species.

I do understand that it might be confusing, but then again, it would be easy to just write “(Species)” in the title to avoid any puzzlement. In my opinion, I don’t see any harm in it — the different formats’ questions can be edited to be akin to another’s anyway, so there’s really no definable difference between two formats aside from the name and the convenience of each. That’s the way I see it, anyway ^^

(As a note, the reason I don’t have Premium is because I’m a minor, and I’d prefer to use my little allowance on other hobbies of mine, like on my Nintendo Online membershio. Of course, I might get it if you say no to this, but in any case at the moment I plan on sticking to my starter membership here. :])

Absolutely. :)

The site's actually intentionally designed such that the free pages encompass the big picture objects of a world: people (characters), places (locations), and things (items). All of the premium pages are there for people who want that more detailed, granular template for all of those more specific things.

In addition, the site's meant to feel like your own personal notebook, so how you use it is entirely up to you. You can even use features like tags to keep your pages organized if you didn't want to add things like (Species) to page names. :)

Happy worldbuilding!
