I think there should be a sub section in Everything Else for writing. This writing could be short stories, poems, songs, whatever. I think that this would be a good contrast to the Music, Movies, and Pictures section. I for one would be a frequent contributer as I often write short stories (fables, myths, parables), poems, essays, songs, and all the like. I can think of a couple of members off the top of my head who would, I feel, be interested.

Edit:

Submit here until a section exists: http://forums.bf2s.com/viewtopic.php?id=86563

Exactly. This may also be a good place for the D&ST folk to practice their rhetoric.

Sounds like a really good idea. Somewhere to put my turgid philosophical ramblings and psychedelic stories would be nice.

if your teacher typed in a paragraph from your paper they'd wind up here.

Well, how about she is a one of the many characters that our main character meets in his/her travels?

absolutely yes.
We'd have to have it admined pretty well, because just like in every section, there would be a lot of spamming. maybe the Mod team could give a couple people power to just be moderators of the writing sub-forum... assuming none of them want to really heavily mod a relatively small subforum.

a novel would be really interesting but would take a lot of commitment.

how about a collection of short stories featuring a similar theme? or something to that effect.

You raise a valid point. That seems a lot more practical.

Well if we actually did write a novel I think it would be collaborated through another outlet than bf2s.

"Everything Else" has not been known in the past for its great literary works ...

But, like all things on BF2s, if enough of something is posted then it has a better chance of getting a section.

This is a good idea. We could have a narative similar to Pulp Fiction following different characters but in the same setting.

I would suggest Google Docs for collaborative efforts, with people making back ups to their personal hard drives periodically.

why not make an actual subforum. post it in the "Bf2s feature requests" section.
I think there's enough interest to warrant a "creative writing" subforum.

Yeah, and let's call the section Emo! There would be some good work, but you know that 90% of it would probably be dominated by a lot of "I love you so much I would use my crowbar on your half-life 2 lolol". Sub sections in Everything Else rarely work...there was a poll recently asking how many actually use them and the numbers were low. Granted, not everyone took part.

Yes	64%	64% - 27
No	35%	35% - 15
Total: 42
