Fantasy Writer's Forum Petition: - Page 3

Gwaimir Windgem · 04-06-2003, 06:12 PM

The idea came from there, and as it's in the same forum, I expect they can find it.

Actually, I'd rather a specialised one, but that might be viewed as rather selfish...

Not to mention, a general Writer's forum would no doubt go over better.

TheWhiteRider · 04-07-2003, 06:18 PM

count me in! I like reading other's work and i may post some of my own.

Ninquelote · 04-07-2003, 06:52 PM

Hey, man, add me in too.

You didn't think I wouldn't join in, didja? I have my Canayen story you like so much.

Agalayth · 04-07-2003, 07:23 PM

Hehe, me too.

Don't forget, the Weavers of Legend is also a great place to write your fantasy stories, poems, or anything like that. We also have a private forum so only registered members can get in. There isn't much in it though.

Gwaimir Windgem · 04-07-2003, 07:51 PM

Unfortunately not.

That's why I started this petition, wot with the great number of 'Mooters.

TheWhiteRider, Ninquelote, Agalayth, will add.

Gwaimir Windgem · 04-19-2003, 10:04 PM

I've received confirmation from numerous sources that the Writer's Forum has been approved. Hurrah!

Though, of course, it will take a little while to do, and I haven't received information about specifics regarding time...but it's approved!

Lief Erikson · 04-20-2003, 12:56 AM

Hurrah! (Lief claps Gwaimir on the back in joy

. He pours the champagne, only to remember a moment later that he doesn't like it particularly much, and takes an Easter candy bar instead) Hurrah!

(Takes cymbals and starts clanging them, wild with joy)

Mmm, of course, I already knew that that happened from your email

. However, doesn't prevent me from being joyful (Even in public

)on this one occasion!

Now I just have to get busy and work on that story I'm writing. (Frowns intently) I'm writing a comedy story for myself and my sister (Who reads my stories and loves them

), and I'm planning to post it in the new forum. I'm eight pages into it now, and I suspect it'll be around thirty pages long by its end. I don't want to post it piece by piece much, for I'm afraid doing that might eliminate my motivation to finish it. That'll be a fun one to post, when finished.

This new forum is probably the thing I've gotten most excited about in all my time on Entmoot (Even though I've put a lot more thought into certain other things).

Linaewen · 04-20-2003, 07:47 AM

Fantastic! Yeah! Looking forward to reading all your stories (I won't posting any stories seeing as I don't write any)

I think posting it piece by piece may INCREASE your motivation. Every time you post, there will be messages going 'Great!' 'LOL!' and 'Add more, Lief, more!'.

Such as the thread I started but never post in. It is far too complex for me to even pretend to know what's going on in it.

Aralyn · 04-20-2003, 02:26 PM

yup i like to read things in pieces instead of on long chunk so when will the forum get up?

Laurus Nobilis · 04-20-2003, 03:14 PM

Great news!

What?

Surely you can write one or two before then. They don't have to be perfect for me to enjoy them

. Are you just writing novels now, then, or are you not actively doing any fiction writing?

Glad you'll enjoy reading my stories though, anyway

.

Yes, you and Aralyn are right. I will post it in pieces- I just hope my motivation doesn't die because I'm already getting feedback. I'll work at it though; probably I'll write some more of it today.

What was the thread's subject?

***IronParrot*** · 04-20-2003, 05:52 PM

Congratulations, all. You've just participated in what is perhaps the first successful petition I've ever seen in my entire life.

I'm going to be leaving this thread open for a little while longer, so you can celebrate and revel in revelry or whatever, and after that I will likely be shunting it over to the Archives.

Elvellyn · 04-20-2003, 05:54 PM

The petitioning has paid off! We now have a writer's forum!

***Earniel*** · 04-20-2003, 06:02 PM

Amazing. The 'moot sure keeps on growing and growing.

Silverstripe · 04-20-2003, 07:04 PM

Yay! This is great news. And thanks, Gwaimir Windgem, for starting the petition in the first place.

Gwaimir Windgem · 04-20-2003, 07:56 PM

Don't forget it was Lief's idea.

-ahem-

WOOHOO! YIPPEEE! MOOT WRITING BOARD! YIPPEE-YAYO-KAH-YEH!

Elf Girl · 04-20-2003, 08:19 PM

*enters thread she has followed for a long time but just waited to see what happened* So! A new forum! Hm, what to post, what to post...

Lief Erikson · 04-20-2003, 08:25 PM

You could post thoughts on story writing, or character development, or essays and writing assignments, or especially fiction writing. How long have you been writing fiction?

Coney · 04-20-2003, 08:30 PM

Hmm, I haven't done any serious writing for several months (Uni being it's usual awkward self, demanding essay's, research etc

) but I'll defo be viewing this forum with interest.

Well done ladies and gentlemoots..........it goes to show, if ya keep chipping at the admin block yer'll eventually crack it

Elf Girl · 04-20-2003, 08:31 PM

Not long. A few years, off and on.

*whine* But all my stuff is cruddy!

Well then, I won't post it.

EDIT: Supposed to be before Coney's post.
