Cross Pollinatin' to the Main Fora--Writers!

[Harper]

hey, guys. I know some of you are not regulars at the other forums here, but it occurred to me you might be interested in seeing the Writer's Forum (http://forum.criticalfumble.net/forumdisplay.php?f=8) here on CritFumble. I know some of you write your own stuff and it's always nice to find new companions in our own special insanity.

Go take a look. Maybe you'll even want to post something, but do read the posting rules first.

thanks for spreading the word, harper! as a participant in the writer's forum, i should point out that while currently, a lot of the discussions revolve around a group project, folks really do talk about other types of writing: primarily creative writing in the forms of fiction and the occasional poem.

Please, please, PLEASE get involved in the Writer's Forum. We could use some new blood. :)

[Harper]

I don't have a lot of time, myself, but I'll certainly encourage others and try to drop in when I can.

It's always great to have a community to support and encourage you in the development stages. Writing is a lonely profession and there are a lot of hard days. I wouldn't have finished GREYWALKER without the support of an online forum myself, so I really value that channel. (Thank you TTLG.)

I'd go but it looks to be mostly rpg stuff and I don't really know anything about them much less how to write properly for one. Sorry.

Right now, there's more focus on an attempt to build an RPG. However, feel free to post any of your own writing that you'd like to see read or get feedback on. It's usually quiet, but people do read what's posted.

There's a bit of RPG clutter at the moment, but anything concerning writing is more than welcome. If you want to discuss theory or craft, post, and we'll discuss. If you want to share your writing, we're more than happy to read. If you want critiques ask for them (for whatever our opinions may be worth).

There are quite a few old pieces lying around waiting to be read there. Silverwhisper even started a writing excercise, though I don't think anyone has taken up the ball and posted anything on that yet...

But yes, lately there has been lots of focus of trying to write a new rpg.

I worked on RPG materials once. It takes a lot of creative thought to make a world-set that will encourage others to create adventures within it. It has to be interesting, and it needs to have opportunity and structure that encourage creative exploitation while offering rules that are easy to stick to. It's a mirror to the problems of world-building in SF and F books: you have to have a great, believable and workable world before anyone can go play in it.

We're open to many different kinds of creative writing. You can post almost any sort of story or article there, although we mostly go with fantasy and science fiction.

[Magnus Bergqvist]

So once again, don't be shy, do read the stuff at the writing-forum and then post your own stuff (same goes for the other forums as well if you like). We don't bite (that much... Unless of course you do deserve it). =^_^=

Especially from all you urban-fantasy-lovers, I'd like to get some feedback in the writer's forum on my snippet called "The Burninator". :grin:

Definitely don't let that keep you out of there. The RPG has taken up a lot of the group lately, but if you check now, you'll see the writing exercises filling up more of the forum.
