Fan Writer's Blog...your thoughts, plz

[Aredhel]

Told ya I'd start this, but now you have to finish it!

What do you think about a Writer's Blog here on the Sphere? Give us your thoughts, ok? Potential writers? Pros? Poets? As long as it's rated in the PG arena and part of the Telon genre, we'd love to have you join us!

Speak now, or watch a great idea fall to apathy!

I always enjoy that kind of stuff, but I wonder how much participation we'll see here. This is obviously not a haven for roleplayers, and we already have the VGRPA as an outlet for these types of things.

That said, it won't hurt anything to have a spot for it.

Wait what's the writers blog?

[Pirotess]

What do you anticipate being in the blogs?

[Nil]

I guess I mostly expected to see stories and the like, as I expected that those beta types would be (when the NDA goes up) posting class guides and the like in a different section (for game info) and other types of discussion would go in the normal forum sections for those topics.

I think it would mostly be writing and stuff that members submit, yes? Maybe biweekly, or monthly, depending on the amount (and quality) of the submissions?

[Aredhel]

Right!

It is an open forum for writing, having your stuff seen and a chance to have critiques, for those who are interested in learning more about writing or think that, perhaps, they need to broaden their styles and abilities.

There are writer's blogs on the net. Some for professional writers and some for hopefuls. I love to see what our people can come up with! Some have expressed interest in me helping edit their things, and Damina and I have worked together in this regard, as well, over the years. (yes...I said "years." Be afraid!)

If you're really interested in seeing how some others do it, check out the list of blogs on Google! All kinds. This would be a Vanguard/Telon blog....fan fiction/poetry/lyrics and all that.

Now...continue discussing, please!

Its a nice idea. Not sure I'd get too into it, but always good to give folks a space for creativity.

I guess what Im trying to get at is how would the blog forum differ from the Fan Fiction forum? Just in that people would critique/edit in the blog forum? Im not trying to rain on anyones parade, just like to understand what people want.
