The fanfiction forum!

...shouldn't be a sub-forum. That way nobody will ever go there. And telling a story is also quite different from roleplaying, so... Any moderators willing to do that?

*sighs*

Doom, I don't think the mods can change boards. If they can, I don't think they'll do anything of the sort. When Rol-Playing is concerened here, it means storytelling, but concentrating only on your character.

But, yeah, the fanfic board should be moved outside, because it deserves to, and there are heaps of creative minds out there with stories of their own, but don't know where to post it.

I also suggest putting a fanific board in the Star Wars section, as there are n00bs who visit there.

Well, people whor ead this will at least know where to find it and... yeah, that's a good suggestion i think.

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... I think everyone pretty much knows where to post their fan fictions.

Doomie · 05-22-2004, 11:08 AM

Then they should.

maybe it's a matter of people don't write them.

Right, uhm... your whole post was offtopic. And it didn't make much sense either, at least to me.

Wrong forum to place this in, mate.

But I don't think we're going to be changing it, because although it is slightly different than RPG'ing, it still holds the same stuff. Such as stroytelling and what not.

Doomie · 05-22-2004, 02:11 PM

Awww. nobody ever comed HERE either.

People know where it is. People just don't care to write fan fic stories because they take too long and most of us don't have time to do them.

If you really want to read/make stories, go join a RPG.Fan fic forum. People mostly come here to discuss the games.

What he said.

This was an issue a while back, and the sub-forum was a compromise since there really is a FINE line between RPG, and FAN Fic. I started out modding in that area, and now it belongs to Redwing. I'd send any questions or concerns to Redwing.

**Redwing** · 05-23-2004, 02:24 AM

Although I'm not sure what good that would do, since I can't change it.

The line between stories and RPGs is this: In an RPG, other people participate, playing the roles of their own characters. (Hence Role Playing Game

) In a story, only one person writes, or if multiple people write, they both write the same character(s). (I've never seen this done but it's a possibility ^^)

Yeah, shame for you, you started it, then you took off, and you never came back. And then there was the rejection, and the therapy treatments...
