Fanfic Forums

Post by Kuja »

On several of the message boards I've been part of, there have been forums dedicated to fanfics. Here's how they work:

Option 1: One forum, 1st post is the fanfic, following posts are reactions.

Option 2: Two fourms, one dedicated to fanfics, the other containing "reactions to..."

vote, please!

I have to go with single forum, because it makes things so much simpler for the author to just click on a forum and see the reactions to his story right after the story itself.

This topic really interests me since I have a fanfic up in here that was recently updated ("Starcrossed" shameless plug) :D

A fanfic forum may be neccesary depending on the level of interest.

Would it just be SW vs ST fics?

I would hope not, in answer to the question just ST Vs SW, but if it was ok... As it is I hope Mike does consider the idea, fan fics are a lot of fun, and when you get a good one going... well waiting for the next part is a drug, you have to keep checking in case it's arrived, I check Stravo's almost every hour I'm on line for example. sad but true. (Unless he's posted one that day of course I'm not that sad...) :lol: If your listening then Mike please a Fanfic Forumn!

Just curious because I have a pure SW 'fic going right now on another site and I'd probably start posting it here if a fanfic forum started up.

THANK YOU Skelron. I always appreciate positive feedback. Its hard work, but worth every effort if you can entertain folks. Chapter 4 will be up very soon.

Where's the fun in that? Pure ST or SW, or maybe Battlestar Galactica, Bablyon 5, and on and on and on...

Probably just so long as they're Sci-fi.

Keep up the votes, people, and we'll convince Wong in no time!

Excellent initiative, my 'droid friend. I'll have to go with a single forum.

Since we don't have a forum yet, you can't. But once we to have a forum, you can type them out, then paste to the message when starting a thread. Simple.
