We created this for all of you out there who enjoy writing stories, poetry, songs, articles, whatever it is you do with words you can work your magic here for all to see. We felt that posting this type of nearly lost art just doesn't hold well in the Gallery because everyone there likes to tote off their GIMP signatures or whatever and argue who can do a better job making Carmen Electra's boobs stand out or be bigger. I have no idea what goes on in there, really; it's obvious, however this forum is for words that's 100% certain.
Of course, no forum is complete without some guidelines. There aren't many here.
1. All regular forum rules apply to this forum.
2. Don't post random short quips unless you're posting short poetry. Five sentences =/= a story. Make sure you're putting some real work in your projects here.
3. Do NOT steal other people's work and call it your own. If you are caught doing so you will be banned. No infractions, no exceptions.
4. If you are making installments or chapters for something HUGE please talk to a Moderator about posting them separately, otherwise please keep them all in one thread and edit your first post with "news/updates" and a link to the post containing the new installment.
5. If you are posting a very long story and you hit the 30,000 character maximum limit (yes we have one) then you are allowed to double/triple post.
6. Please try to choose a descriptive title, such as something like "A Rainy Day (Poetry)" or "Jimmy Saves Kittens From A Fire (Story)".
7. Keep the profanity to a minimum. No cursing, but words like hell or crap are acceptable.
A note regarding COMICS:
Do they belong in here or the Gallery? That is up to you to decide. If your comic is really heavy on words then it should probably belong in here, but if it's just something short and silly like Peanuts that is mostly just pictures then it should go in the gallery. Either way comics or all kinds are allowed in here as well.
We'll be moving some story threads into here for the next few days so keep an eye out for us and we hope you enjoy the forum.
