Darth Groovy Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 This idea originated here. The Forum I have in mind would be a place for forum goers to post original stories, fan ficition, literature, poetry, both Star Wars and non Star Wars related. A few mods are supporting this idea but Administration is not yet convinced. There are a great deal of talanted writers here on jk2.net and LucasForums in general. Some have suggested it be a continuation of the Roleplaying forums which I feel would be confusing. I am voting for a Stories Forum by itself in jk2.net., in the General Section. I myself have a great deal of things I have written in the past and would love to have a place to post this stuff. I also would really enjoy reading other's work such as whitedragon's here. Please vote yes on this petition and show your support. Regards, Groovy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Groovy Posted November 21, 2002 Author Share Posted November 21, 2002 Those sort of things are not up to me, but thanks for your vote and support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wacky_Baccy Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 It's got my full backing I'm looking forward to [hopefully] reading some of the stuff that the community has come up with I might even do some of my own stuff if I find the inspiration... ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrion Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 Yeah. Great Idea, but couldnt Yoda's swamp be used for that? Or the role-playing forum? (P.S. meet me in MSN) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Groovy Posted November 21, 2002 Author Share Posted November 21, 2002 Yeah I can see it now, someone posts a story in Yoda's swamp and it winds up on page 9 in like 5 minutes. I see where you are coming from, but I think it would be much better to have a place that forum goers could show off they're work and get noticed. Wouldn't you Agree?

You do know that was before the Role-Playing and Game threads were removed,right? Right now, it should stay on page one if a few people like it, IMO.My Lord of the Pings lasted a while on the first page before the new forums, so I think that the stories will last finely here.

Ratmjedi Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 You've got my John Han****. I really would not post there cause I don't like to write but I think that it is a cool idea for those who do write. I agree with Groovy on the it stay's here for a minute and then it is already on another page. We should let people's work be admired and showed off. I think that it is a great idea.

Taos Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 I voted YES! I think it's a good idea for those with some good imagination and writing talent!! The only thing I can think of is......do you think ppl will be more recognized with their stories there, rather then having them in the swamp? There are, of course, many more people here in the swamp to see a persons stories. Do you think a lot of ppl are going to go to this new forum and read them, other then the people that write the stories? I'll go and check it out of course....I just think a person would get more recognition in the swamp, that's all. Sry to question it....... I still voted yes for it!

Darth Groovy Posted November 21, 2002 Author Share Posted November 21, 2002 Right now there is nothing that prohibits you from posting stories in the Swamp but will anyone really take time to read it? The Forum Idea I speak of will allow those who love fan fiction and stories to activitly participate on a forum by itself without having to wade through LOTR Vs Matrix, and Avatar revolution threads. We did it with the games, I see no reason why it would not work with the stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWhiteRaider Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 I would not mind it. I just think a person would get more recognition in the swamp, that's all. I would think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Groovy Posted November 21, 2002 Author Share Posted November 21, 2002 serious discussion = lets yell at each other about things we don't know anything about anyway just for the sake of arguing. no Tyrion, not even the same ballpark..........

Darth Groovy Posted November 21, 2002 Author Share Posted November 21, 2002 Can we get back on subject now? The Discussion forum idea is silly since I see a heated debate pop up about once a month, and it's usually the same people posting.(those who's names shall not be mentioned) The Stories forums however would be a place for people to share literature, poetry, original stories, remember how popular the Academy wars were?

Pad Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 although im a bit neutral on the subject u got my vote. i know the feelin u need to go to page 3 after 30 mins to look for ur story. on the other hand, would much ppl be usin that new forum? just a thought, instead of makin it only story/fanfiction related, u could let ppl show all their creations like stories, ... and websites (i suggest that stays sw related).

Surfnshannon Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 I was the only person to vote no. I don't think there is enough supporters to justify a new board for stories. At gee bee we just sticky them. I think only having one and MAYbe two stories going at once is about the limit because they start to go dead after awhile. I think you should just start one and stuck it. I have a feeling that the bored would just be kinda a slow one like the consoles or the other slow ones. Not enough visitors to keep it interesting.

C'jais Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 First you have to consider how many people are actually going to write this sort of stuff, and if it therefore warrants the creation of a whole new forum. Secondly, you have to consider if the new RPG forum couldn't be used for that same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Truthful Liar Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 I don't think that we need an entirely new forum (not as of now at least), due to it only facilitating the "swampies" and not a broader range of users. As STTCT previously mentioned, sticky threads work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
