Fantasy Writer's Forum Petition: - Page 2

Gwaimir Windgem · 03-21-2003, 09:48 PM

Yup!

Gwaimir Windgem · 03-22-2003, 01:46 AM

Though I don't think it really matters, as the mods and admins are already debating the matter.

Starr Polish · 03-22-2003, 02:05 AM

Put my name there, but perhaps it would be easier to push if it were a general writing forum.

Gwaimir Windgem · 03-22-2003, 02:58 AM

Your name is added.

And I agree, 'twould be best to alter it to a general writing forum.

ArwenEvenstar · 03-22-2003, 02:17 PM

a general forum would be a lot better then just strictly fantasy

Lief Erikson · 03-22-2003, 05:35 PM

We're all in agreement on that point

.

elvendrummer87 · 03-24-2003, 07:32 PM

general writing would prbably get it through faster; people could post poems and short stories and everything. and i think there are enough people interested in that kinda thing; how many supporters would be "enough",do you think? i'd say we have plenty.

Lief Erikson · 03-27-2003, 11:08 AM

We have ten people here, and we haven't really advertised. If I posted about it on the RPG forum, where there are lots of people trying to become better writers, there'd be a chance more people would want to get involved. And probably most of the people involved will be posting short stories and poems, and critiquing or applauding each others. (Gets a dreamy expression) Ah, that'd be nice

.

I haven't heard anything from the moderators for a while. Have they discarded our request?

elvendrummer87 · 03-27-2003, 01:44 PM

hey that's a good idea! never thought of that. advertising... i'm thinking a big banner draped across the forum home... j/k lol

Let's not be hasty, now.

You'll know the outcome either way.

edit: the history major in me just can't help pointing out that this is my 1066th post, and I'd like to take a moment to dedicate it to William the Conqueror.

***IronParrot*** · 03-27-2003, 02:25 PM

I urge you guys not to openly advertise the idea on other forums yet. If we create this forum, we will be putting up board-wide announcements regarding the change. If you really feel a need to get some more people in the RPG forum and such involved in this, please do it by PM.

Lief Erikson · 03-28-2003, 02:30 AM

I'm sorry if I sounded impatient; I was just thinking out loud. Carry on with your considering

.

Linaewen · 03-28-2003, 06:54 AM

If it's not too late, could you put my name down as well?
Will it include poetry (like your Weavers of Legend site) as well?
I like poetry: can't write it, but i appreciate it!

Linaewen · 03-28-2003, 07:07 AM

BTW, Gwaimir, I'm not happy with the fact that noone voted for the Silm in your Tolkien poll. Or that guests can't vote.

Gwaimir Windgem · 03-28-2003, 11:22 AM

Certainly could.

Hmm? I could have sworn I'd voted for it!

Silly me.

Indeed, I have no doubt it would.

Lief Erikson · 04-05-2003, 11:53 AM

Ironparrot, I'm sorry, but I'm getting impatient again. I wouldn't be if I could see progress being made, but I'm not on the end of discussion that you are. Are there any new developments among mods or admins in discussion of the Writer's Forum?

Gwaimir Windgem · 04-05-2003, 04:31 PM

I've been wondering the same thing. Are you sure you didn't decide not to, and forget to tell me?

**crickhollow** · 04-05-2003, 05:12 PM

the idea got shelved while we were plotting our Grand Scheme for April 1st. The topic has now been picked up again, and is still under discussion.

Lief Erikson · 04-05-2003, 07:57 PM

Thanks for the update

.

Aralyn · 04-06-2003, 05:54 PM

You can put my name too. Did you tell people in the thread, "Do you do any fantasy writing?" I know you want it to be more than fantasy but if those people like to write they might sign the petition.
