Default Somebody could make a forum just for writing...

I've noticed that a whole lot of posts here in CT are prose, some have been poetry too. It seems that there is enough to merit a forum to hold all these. After all, while writing may be intellectual, it's not critical thinking.

I don't mean to complain, and I'm fine with the status quo; it's just a suggestion.

I think a writing forum would be great. A place for authors to share there works and get feedback. Sadley 1/2 of that feed back will be from idiots saying how much your work sucks even though they cant write a simple story intro with out having massive brain trama.

There has been pushing of this writing forum for a long time, as per Mal, but I have yet to hear anything about it as far as putting it into action. =/ I think it would see more activity than the programming forum has. I know I'd post a few of my own stories. =D

Wisdom: I writing forum would be nice, but doesn't it say that you may post essays in CT?

We are talking more of writing as a whole.

The CT forum would stagnate then. Especially looking back at the last few months...

Since when has writing been considered critical thinking? You could be retarded and yet enjoy a story. The only reason I am not seeing a Writing Forum made is the fact that CT would probably die even more than it has. There should be a vote or something, as I can see it being a very popular forum.

It is kind of sad that Mal's keeping the CT forum alive with his stories. (No offense meant, Mal.)

What happened to all the great discussions that used to go on here? Or am I thinking of an entirely different forum?

You mean the debates with Chardish on abortion? There were ALOT of those about a year ago.

We already had our discussions on string theory, the shape of the universe, the real power of electromagnitism, the duality of nature of light... I think people burned out of the super topics when this started to become a political debate forum.

As I do in every "let's make a writing forum" topic, I must agree. If there were a thread specifically for it, I'd probably be inclined to post some of my short stories.

I, once again, give this idea my full support.

Just a btw... I will always be too lazy to look if anyone else has made a similar thread before I post.

The great threads of Critical Thinking are gone which were general topics like suicide and abortion. Or fears. Now we have to branch off these things. A writing forum would be good. I thought that this was already going to happen though otherwise a thread would of been made by me a long time ago.

PS* What happened to Chardish?

Chardish is on a hiatus. For how long, I don't know.

As for a writing forum, whould it really change anything? Would it really make people want to write stuff and post it? I don't see why they don't just post it in the CT forum.

This idea has been thrown around many times, but considering how stagnant the CT forum has been, why take away more topics from it?

Because if people are new to writing and post in CT, they get torn apart by people like Moogy, Aperson and other various people with superiority complexes. The writing forum would be a place for creative writing, literature discussion, and fair reviews... Not just:

"Why the fuck am I involved in this?" -Aperson
"If you don't take my name out of this story I'll get LD to ban you."- Moogy.

It's intimidating to post in here with ass-holes around all the time.

Not saying that Moogy is an ass all the time... Or Aperson.

Well, Aperson is.
