I made a "how to" on the story part of a dio -
just something to get peoples creative juices flowing somewhat (or give them a starting point.).

I'm thinking along the lines of people who disregard a story completely - or don't know how to set it up from the start (as its easy to have some things, or some parts of the story nicely in your own noggin' and forget that the rest of the world doesn't know what's going on behind the scenes of your very own joe verse).
Jumping right into the action is something I feel could be called a beginners mistake (I know I've made it with my mini-dios, but they were meant as such anyway).
For a fullblown dio people should have a story in mind that they want to tell. - Hope my ramblings help on that part.
