Fantasy Writer's Forum Petition:

Gwaimir Windgem · 03-19-2003, 11:53 PM

Hail, and well met! To all of the Entmooters who have an interest in original fantasy writing. The suggestion has been posed that we petition the Administrators for a forum on Entmoot designed for people to post stories, a forum dedicated to fantasy writing. If you are in favour of such a forum, please post your name below.

I will edit this post to include the names of those who sign the petition. They have one for Harry Potter and RP's, why not writing!

Sincerely,
Gwaimir Windgem

The Petition:
Dear administrators and moderators of our beloved Entmoot;
Due to the opening of a particular thread, it has become apparent that many of the people of Entmoot have an interest in writing works of fantasy. The thought has been put forth that possibly a forum designated for discussion of fantasy writing and the sharing of fantasy works and ideas, and especially the constructive critiquing thereof, may be a good addition to this online community which so many call home. We, the undersigned, would greatly appreciate it if you kindly consider the creation of such a forum.

Sincerely,
Gwaimir Windgem

The Undersigned:

Gwaimir Windgem
Lief Erikson
Miranda
ArwenEvenstar
Silverstripe
elvendrummer87
Laurus Nobilis
Mark of Cenla
Elvellyn
Finrod Felagund
Starr Polish
Linaewen
Aralyn
TheWhiteRider

You can put my name on it. However, I think that we should agree upon a certain number of people having had their signature there before we let it fly. Perhaps we should have at least ten people interested or something before we feel free to send it. After we ten people have signed in we could still have it linger for a while, collecting more support, but I think we should have a minimum number in favor before we feel free to release it.

Gwaimir Windgem · 03-20-2003, 02:23 AM

Yes, that sounds like a good idea. But I really have no idea what number would be good, so ten is fine with me.

Miranda · 03-20-2003, 06:23 AM

Put me down, I'm in!

Gwaimir Windgem · 03-20-2003, 12:05 PM

Thanks for your support, your name is included.

ArwenEvenstar · 03-20-2003, 12:16 PM

ya! put me down!!

Silverstripe · 03-20-2003, 12:16 PM

This sounds like a good idea. Put me down, too!

elvendrummer87 · 03-20-2003, 01:07 PM

yay! put me down too!

Gwaimir Windgem · 03-20-2003, 04:45 PM

Thanks everyone, will add your names presently.

Laurus Nobilis · 03-20-2003, 06:19 PM

I'm in!

This sounds like a really good idea.

Gwaimir Windgem · 03-20-2003, 06:21 PM

Your name is added.

Thanks for your support!

***IronParrot*** · 03-20-2003, 06:51 PM

I'm not a signatory, but I'd just like to post here and let you know that your proposal is being considered by the moderators at present.

However, what are your thoughts on a Writer's forum that is not necessarily limited to Fantasy? Is it absolutely necessary that this specifically be a Fantasy Writer's Forum? That's just a question of clarification I have personally.

We welcome your feedback.

Mark of Cenla · 03-20-2003, 07:21 PM

Sounds good to me; count me in. Anything supporting writing is good by me.

Gwaimir Windgem · 03-20-2003, 07:41 PM

Naturally, it wouldn't be restricted to fantasy, though I would certainly think it would be more fantasy oriented.

Elvellyn · 03-20-2003, 11:31 PM

I think its a great idea! You can sign me up.

Gwaimir Windgem · 03-20-2003, 11:39 PM

Thanks for your support, will add you.

BeardofPants · 03-21-2003, 02:13 AM

I honestly don't think there's enough interest here to warrant a whole forum. But good luck!

That's an even better idea- even more people can participate, and we could discuss writing techniques and exercises too.

I think in the forum people could post short stories, plot ideas, or discuss their writing techniques. It needn't be limited to fantasy writing. None of the short stories I've written so far are fantasy, actually, except one. And I don't think I'll post it either, though I might reconsider eventually

. It's a comedy romance, so I might be embarrassed

.

So, it looks like we're only one person away from our minimum number already

. Looking good

But I met a lot of things on the way that astonished me. Tom Bombadil I knew already; but I had never been to Bree. Strider sitting in the corner at the inn was a shock, and I had no more idea who he was than had Frodo. The Mines of Moria had been a mere name; and of Lothlórien no word had reached my mortal ears till I came there. Far away I knew there were the Horse-lords on the confines of an ancient Kingdom of Men, but Fangorn Forest was an unforeseen adventure." ~ J. R. R. Tolkien
