Hey guys, new subforum.

So Trollslayer PM'ed me asking if we might try and get a writing forum going, and I thought that we've got a fair few budding writers/journalists/novelists etc, as well as a bunch of people who might just like readin' stuff their fellow forumites writer. So why not. We'll pop a subforum up over here, and if it's dead in a month then we'll get rid of it and not worry.

For now though - post your writing! Fiction, non-fiction, talk about your writing process, suggest collaborative stories, bemoan the block, and so on. It's all good.

Couldn't we 'batch up' these sub-forums a bit? Don't get me wrong: its a nice idea, this sub-forum. But if we keep creating these puppies, I think we should group them together. Or I'll have to give up using the main board to check whether there have been new posts, if you follow...?

Yes, certainly. I think what will happen is that if this becomes very big, it'll get its own main forum. And if, say, someone asks for an arts forum, or a game design forum, or whatever, I might just make a 'Creativity' main forum with this as a SF. It's just a convenient place to put it for now so that the main page doesn't get too cluttered.

Unless you'd all prefer it on the main page?

EDIT - Poll added.

What I want to know is, will I be able to buy shares in this subforum?

Good idea from Trollslayer I think.

I read this forum a lot more than I post in it anymore, so gimme more. (not really appropriate, just wanted to use that smiley again )

I subforum is better and neater. Cool.

Aye, I'm more likely to read a subforum in the Lobby than a new forum entirely. Put it down to OCD perhaps.

I have to clear every single orange post in the forumevery time I log on, so I'll read it either way. Prefer to kepe the main page less cluttered though, so lets keep it as a subforum.
