Skate Boy Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 I think it's a good idea. I don't have anything to post there, but It'd be fun to see other peoples work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C'jais Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 Do what you wish. But if you do, you might as well create a new forum for those (silly) polls - "which obi-wan had the best haircut?" etc. And you might as well follow up and create the forum Tyrion advocated for - the serious discussion forum. And so on and so on. Soon the swamp won't be itself anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowTemplar Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 Originally posted by Leemu Taos do you think ppl will be more recognized with their stories there, rather then having them in the swamp? I know from another forum that such a sub-department will be well visited and is a great idea (at least it was there, but it was a different kind of subject (the world was set eg, meaning that the fan-made fiction will be hugely overrepresented compared to this one. However the "customer base" so to speak is also more limited, so there are less hands to produce stories)). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Groovy Posted November 21, 2002 Author Share Posted November 21, 2002 Originally posted by Cjais 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. Well that's the real problem isn't it. There is a 007 thread over there right now that I could finish, but that's not role playing now is it? There are those that posted very long stories over there and it had to be closed because it is not roleplaying. If you guys want this to be included in the Roleplaying Forums, then the roleplaying forum needs to be changed to accomdate such threads. If Admin can create a whole new forum for games, why then can there not be a showcase literature forum? And it does not have to be limited to stories, I think art and photos, or website links could be presented there as well. cjas, I definitely see your point, but they moved the games out of here and put them in a new forum so the description of "off topic discussion" is a bit shakey already now isn't it? STTCT did you ever participate in the Academy wars? It was up for months and never needed to be stickied. Tons of poeple got involved in it. I had the idea for a stories forum ever since then, but I waited until now to say anything about it. With the creation of all these other forums lately, what does one more matter? Also what would constitute a thread being stickied? Suppose somebody posts a storie and ads more chapters later? Sorry but I do beleive that would be a train wreck waiting to happen. Metallus has a similar forum created at Grim Fandango and it's awsome. Anyways I don't want to sound like I am just blowing steam, but since the recession of JKII fans and games, I think it would be a refreshing addition to create a stories forum, so that we can gain a new interest in other people's ideas as we anticipate the releases of future Jedi Knight games as well as the release of Star Wars Episode 3. Please join us and thank you for your support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darklighter Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 I agree that the Academy Wars was a true revolution on the forum: I loved it so much, and can't wait for it to continue. However, I have stories that I would like to write about my character, which I would not be able to do in the RP section, because it is not RP:(That's why I want this forum too...cmon guys, Groovy is trying so hard to get this going, and he needs all our support.

Darth Groovy Posted November 21, 2002 Author Share Posted November 21, 2002 leXX brought up a good point. Why do we need a seperate forums for the games? How is it that having a separate forums for games is ok, but for stories it's bad? *wanders off discouraged and confused* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Groovy Posted November 22, 2002 Author Share Posted November 22, 2002 If you only knew how many threads I have closed at RP forums dear Tyrion, you would know exactly where I was coming from. Yes that includes your infernal "Can I mod here?" Threads since you have opted not to use the PM button. I even deleted the threads because it was embarasing to have so many closed threads on page one of the RP forums. Some members were even making jokes about it, and now participation is at an all time low. Thanks alot for your support Tyrion, and thanks for turning my pettion into an argument. *kicks Tyrion in the shin and slams the door on the way out* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acdcfanbill Posted November 22, 2002 Share Posted November 22, 2002 I would like to encourage everyone to make sure and Vote with in the next four days at the poll stickied at the top of the Swamp. It is an attempt to get the whole forums current feelings on what is to be done about how the new forums situation is to be handled. Thanks, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
