    Add a "writing/fanfic" thread for all things not Warcraft for Offtopic.

    As topic says.

    I would support this, especially if we change it to just a writing / fanfiction / Prose section. Not really places here to share what you write though. As well, even the Warcraft thread of it is quickly forgotten - there is one.

    Wouldn't mind anything, except, maybe would say a no go for erotic, though, hehe.

    Amazing idea. I just can't imagine what our community (especially at lore section) would cook up, if given a space to share their creations.

    The lore section is sadly bound as well, but could be cool to see them being allowed to share theirs a bit better as well. I myself, got a good amount of stories.

    But it isn't wide enough, lore section is just for one universe.

    I would love a place here to see the work of others'. Fellow writers and lore nerds could also collaborate to keep the foundation of their fiction's fiction solid and therefore more enjoyably believable. Unless you want to do alternate timeline stuff, that's cool too.

    I would think the Chat Zone would be ideal for this sort of thing. Could make either a general thread for all non-warcraft fanfic, or make threads for specific fandoms. That way people could share their stuff and have convos about various things pertaining to the topic but not have to stay strictly on topic.

    Wouldn't that end up spamming the chat section? I mean, if each story needs a thread, and then a mega thread for general talk of it?

    Not each story. Each fandom. So like a thread for Dragon Age Fan Fic, a Thread for Pokemon Fanfic, etc. Or even just one thread for all non-warcraft fanfic would work as well.

    Don't think a thread for all the fandoms alone, would have to be one for each realm.

    I feel like (this is just an opinion, I promise) it would be so scarcely used, more of a niche thing. May be better to have a different existing forum for them to go into- I understand wanting it for better organization and things to not get lost, but I still think it would be one of the slowest sections with not very high demand for it's existence.

    I know, Splenda. It is more of convenience, I know as we've talked about a while back as well. It would be awesome but wouldn't have enough people. One can dream, can we not?

    Or you know, they could post them in media/video game section. Like we have a Flash tv thread, you could put your Flash fanfics in that(because our flash theories anyways!)...

    I guess, another way to work around it would be to make a megathread, when a new story is made, a link to the post is given to one who can edit the OP to make an index. Would be messy with commenting though, with a megathread. Unless a Locked post stating as an index to genres, each genre link leading to a megathread of said genre - but again, too big and messy.

    That could potentially work as well, but the reason I suggested the Chat Forum over there is because I can easily see how a long thread about people's fanfics would easily get a bit off topic and people would probably also end-up just generally chatting. Which could be an issue for a thread in media/video but wouldn't be an issue in the chat forum.
