It helps me, personally, to put a bit of work in OOC, especially since I have a character who would seek out answers on these things. I've actually been enjoying it because of how much I've learned about the game and its history. I really do enjoy organizing things and, since I play a character who invests so much in knowing what's going on, feel I can do better work when I don't have so many blind spots/blank spaces.
I started the notebooks because it was IC for Sharon to do, but I've come to focus on the events notebook because a list of events might be of most benefit to the comm. Many of the characters in Wonderland are keeping track of the events and have been doing so for a long time, but as far as I know there's no written account of what Wonderland has inflicted on the residents, I thought it might be a good resource to have that characters can refer to.
Because characters have been writing down the events IC for so long, it doesn't really make sense for Sharon to ask for help with them, because in-verse they're readily available. So the characters can read them, but the players don't necessarily know what the characters are reading. So this is an OOC venture to help come up with the events list as a resource for players and their characters.
