How Do You Feel About People Posting Writing?

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.

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.

RudeDawg · 05-21-2002, 02:25 PM

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.
