The idea came from there, and as it's in the same forum, I expect they can find it.
Actually, I'd rather a specialised one, but that might be viewed as rather selfish... Not to mention, a general Writer's forum would no doubt go over better.

Hey, man, add me in too.
You didn't think I wouldn't join in, didja? I have my Canayen story you like so much.

Hehe, me too.
Don't forget, the Weavers of Legend is also a great place to write your fantasy stories, poems, or anything like that. We also have a private forum so only registered members can get in. There isn't much in it though.

Unfortunately not. That's why I started this petition, wot with the great number of 'Mooters.
TheWhiteRider, Ninquelote, Agalayth, will add.

I've received confirmation from numerous sources that the Writer's Forum has been approved. Hurrah! Though, of course, it will take a little while to do, and I haven't received information about specifics regarding time...but it's approved!

Celebration! Cheers!
Hurrah! (Lief claps Gwaimir on the back in joy . He pours the champagne, only to remember a moment later that he doesn't like it particularly much, and takes an Easter candy bar instead) Hurrah!
(Takes cymbals and starts clanging them, wild with joy) Mmm, of course, I already knew that that happened from your email . However, doesn't prevent me from being joyful (Even in public )on this one occasion! Now I just have to get busy and work on that story I'm writing. (Frowns intently) I'm writing a comedy story for myself and my sister (Who reads my stories and loves them ), and I'm planning to post it in the new forum. I'm eight pages into it now, and I suspect it'll be around thirty pages long by its end. I don't want to post it piece by piece much, for I'm afraid doing that might eliminate my motivation to finish it. That'll be a fun one to post, when finished. This new forum is probably the thing I've gotten most excited about in all my time on Entmoot (Even though I've put a lot more thought into certain other things). |

Great news!

Congratulations, all. You've just participated in what is perhaps the first successful petition I've ever seen in my entire life.
I'm going to be leaving this thread open for a little while longer, so you can celebrate and revel in revelry or whatever, and after that I will likely be shunting it over to the Archives.

You could post thoughts on story writing, or character development, or essays and writing assignments, or especially fiction writing. How long have you been writing fiction?
