Creative Writing section

Just a small subsection in the writters hall? Would require little modding. Just a place to put poetry, stories, fact, fiction...whatever. I would like it and its not a major thing.

Much love

Another section? :shock:


Isn't that what "This, That and Those" is for? :|

Would not another workable option be better? Like changing"writers hall" from being a category to being a forum in itself?

That is much easier and quicker to do...

;) Sounds like a good way of keeping the current layout, while providing for a 'safe haven' for creativity nuts. :P *grin*

Looking forward to a few good reads when I come back. ;)

Yeah this sounds good. "Safe haven" is what i was thinking. RP section is more about people RPing than one person asking for criticism, advice and showing off. TTT may let people post more random silly stuff etc

I think expanding the remit of an existing section to include this would be preferable to creating a new section or tinkering around too much with the layout.

I was thinking having the following layout possibly:
[u]Creativity section[u]
Art and music (User created)
Creative writing
Alliance History
Character History
Newsletter

On second thought i was thinking about starting it again.

Also...any discussion about this in the upper echelons that stretch beyond my head?

art- sig section? handles more than just sigs, so its kinda already there...

creative writing could handle music as an insert generally for lyrics, as i cant see them getting too much section after the first few weeks similarly to roleplay which died aswell.

And yes, get the newsletter active again.

Well what about RL pictures and stuff? i know plenty of people that post their artwork on other forums and some people have on here. May encorage people to do the same on here. If it does die then fair enough but i think it would be good to encorage people.

@SS, well when i get the time i would do it by myself if there was no support. But im well up for giving it another bash.

good idea, I know a few awesome poets that should have a place to show of their work :)
