This guide will help you learn to use the integrated fiction writing system on the BFMS, i.e. Bravo Fleet's main website. These instructions are for those members with commands, which anyone with the rank of Ensign or above can request. For those without commands, consider writing on [[Guide:Starbase Bravo|Starbase Bravo]].

'''USS ''Atlantis''''' was an [[Argonaut Class]] starship assigned to [[Fourth Fleet]] last under the command of [[bfms_char:26791|Captain Tikva Theodoras]]. She was posted to the [[Delta Quadrant]] for long-range exploration before engine difficulties forced her to return to Federation space. Following an initial refit and shakedown cruise, the vessel was ultimately decommissioned by Starfleet Command and handed over to the Federation Science Council for Archaeology and Anthropology for examination of the vessel and its computer core.
  
The basics of the fiction system are that a command is the ship or station where a mission is set (the 'command' for ''Star Trek: The Next Generation'' would be the ''Enterprise''-D), missions are like episodes (the first mission for ''TNG'' would be "Encounter at Farpoint"), and stories are like scenes (the first story in "Encounter at Farpoint" would be the ''Enterprise'' encountering Q for the first time).

Summary
  
#Create a Mission:
+
===The People===
##Navigate either to your command or to the Writing Controls panel of your dashboard. From your command click 'Add Mission.' From the Writing Controls panel, click 'Create Mission.'
+
Summary
##Give your mission a title.
+
 
##Select your command
+
===Century Storm===
##If this is part of a fleet-wide or unit-wide plot, select the appropriate parent mission. Otherwise, you can ignore this field.
+
Summary
##Do not check 'Fleet-wide mission' or 'Unit-Wide Mission.'
+
 
##Select the start date as today's date.
+
===Decommissioning===
##Select 'In Progress' as the mission status.
+
Summary
##Upload a mission image if you choose to do so.
+
 
##In the mission summary, provide a short summary of what you will be writing/what kind of writing will go in this mission. Think of this as the TV Guide summary, so you don't need to know the ending or give it away here. Something like "The ''Arcturus'' encounters a powerful anomaly in the Delta Quadrant."
+
===Support Craft===
##In the mission description, you can provide either the same information as the previous step or provide a more detailed mission summary. You can always come back to expand on this later.
+
This is a list of all support craft that were embarked aboard ''Atlantis'' at the time of her decommissioning.
