Just gauging the general opinon.

It's one of the main things that first attracted me to General Discussions; the posting of original writings here. Unfortunately, we see very little of that now; instead, we get belly-button lint examinations of one's opinions about one's emotions about everything from Al-Qaeda to gun control.

I for one would LOVE to see more original writings posted up here.

My belley button is offended that you accused it of having lint!

;)

Doesn't bother me, but don't they go in the books and movies forum? [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img]

Well I think the Books and Movies is mainly for discussing existing books and movies, but I'm not sure.
I've voted and I'm all for literature in here.

I remember when we used to get a lot of creative writing here. I didn't always have the time to read all of it, but nevertheless I think it's a great idea.

I am all for the posting of original creative writing on forums. I think it is a good perview for amatuer writers.

I love to read, and POST, short stories and poems...
It's great to see the creativity of everyone here. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

BTW, Saz...
I have a ton of stuff on a ZIP disk. I don't feel like buying a ZIP drive just for one transfer session. Do you have a way to burn it to a CD at work, or to post it where I can get it off the ZIP? [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img]

Galadria just posted part of her novel (finally - I have been trying to get her to send it to a publisher) on the Imoen Same-Sex Romance thread in the ToB forum. If you like fantasy writing, you might want to check it out.

Yep, we did used to get a lot of short story's posted. I really did enjoy reading Wolfie, and BK and Tobb's. We had some very nice writing here by a lot of people.

I like reading people's original works, that's why I belong to OUAP [img]smile.gif[/img] . I think if people want to post their stories and poems (especially poems, sometimes I get bored reading longer stories ;) ) then they should! I would read them and comment. But maybe in the books forum, since it doesn't get that much traffic at the moment.

Same here, I used to enjoy reading people's own writings/stories/poems. I remember having a few chain stories way back when that were fun too, loved to see how people changed my story after my original beginning paragraph [img]smile.gif[/img]

The chain stories! Ahhhh the nostalgia! Unfortunately I'm not very creative myself (unless it involves being crude lol) :(

Seems like everyone is giving you the go ahead Jerome! [img]tongue.gif[/img] Just make sure Ian doesn't see this thread unless you want to read a 30 page story called Neko Neko Knights. ;)

yea, i remember chain stories from back when I ran a BBS. is there any forums on the web doing any?

The chain stories! Ahhhh the nostalgia! Unfortunately I'm not very creative myself (unless it involves being crude lol) :( </font>[/QUOTE]Well that was the beauty of my chain stories, anyone could add to it how ever they chose, even if it was just a sentence or two [img]smile.gif[/img] Maybe one of these days I'll have a go at another one, see if anyone participates [img]smile.gif[/img]

I voted for Sure, i want to see what other ppl come up with [img]smile.gif[/img]

You can guess what I voted romey. [img]tongue.gif[/img] ;)

It'll be nice to see other people's work, whether these be located in GD or some other forum within IW [img]smile.gif[/img]

I am all for posting original stuff , just so long as it isnt crappy mopey goth poetry. I get enough of that on the other boards I go to.

<font color=Orange>Keep it here! YA!</font>
