Offical First Thread in a New section!

pshrynk · 02-19-2009, 06:34 PM

So, after much begging and a great deal of inappropriate prostration and a certain level of embarrasing crying like a little girl, Alex has created a new forum called the Writers' Section! There was some debate about calling it the Writer's Section and Writers Section, but Harry won out by holding his breath until he turned blue, which is startling and concerning in someone that age, and there you have it. There was a brief foray into calling it the Writing Section, just to get past the pedantery of it all, but here you have it.

I'm jumping in here to make the very first post in the section, because I wanted to.

What we are hoping to do is to cultivate the presence of people who contribute to our mutual enjoyment of the written word by having a section devoted to the process of writing, the foibles of converting to electronic reading formats that are less technical and more "nuts and bolts," and quite possibly, some original work.

Of course, it should also be a place for the adoring fans to interact with their favorite authors, as well.

So, jump in, post your links to where we can get your stuff, offer well thought out criticism and proofreading, and mostly, enjoy!

But as you can tell by the title, this is the OFFICIAL first thread. It is even a sticky!

Dr. Drib · 02-19-2009, 07:29 PM

In that case, we need a sticky named....

"The Unofficial First Thread"

Problem solved. Bodda-bing!

It's nice to see all the mods playing nicely

Practical question. When get around to writing the next Red adventure, should I release it under unutterable silly or writer's corner?

you could do both ! nothing stopping you from publishing a silly story in the writer's corner (in fact i encourage you to do that

). but now that we've got a forum specifically for original writing (among other related topics) it might be better suited here. it's up to you though.

Oh, please, put it in the Writers' Corner!. We can also move the Golden Coprolite and The World Changed over here, as well.

I sure hope I get to contribute something new... after I finish with all the old stuff on my schedule, that is...
