I think you should add a writing section for The Forge. Like you have for art but make it for things like short stories, poems, and fan fictions. I want to become a writer and I'm in the process of writing a novel and I'd like to get it rated by other people and I think this would be a great section. Please take it into consideration.
That's a great idea, I had a long time ago thought about this when some people started posting various stories, however they often get buried under the mass of forum games in the Tavern or something, I would like to see this happen, or at least some section like a Sub-Forum(however I think the sub-forum idea was decided a bad idea long ago?). Oh well, either way I still think that something should be done so people like redbedhead who write various FanFictions or their own stuff can show their works. =)
I really don't think this would be a good day, because it would just open up more spamming. I think that if you really enjoy writing than like start a live journal or something because that would just cause too much spam. I would support it don't get me wrong but it just wouldn't work.
On one hand, there have been a lot of poetry submissions to the art and music section, it might be nice to have a place to keep all of them. But on the other hand, it would add plagiarism-hunting to the list of the mods' responsibilities... It's a tough choice, and my vote is against it. There is no need to crete an entire forum section just for writing. I do, however, propose to make an addendum to the "Art and Music" topic so that it reads "Art, Music, and Poetry."
I think that just posting that sort of thing under the Art forum is a good idea. It probably is not a popular enough thing to require an entire forum. But if you want to make topics in the Art section, that seems like a good idea.
