Banners might work better then my approach does. Because I am not very subtle about it. But I don't look for normal people either. Because, as you might have noticed by now this isn't a typical forum. Sure we can talk about things that already exist. That's great and it'd be nice to get people to do that too. But this forum's main purpose is a place to express creativity and show it to the world. With no waiting for things to be posted. No weird PG-13 restrictions, and the only limit is the one you place on yourself. The site I was at before required censorship, and it played favorites. You see if you wrote something and people didn't like it. They would complain..and complain..and whine..and moan..until finally they deleted everything you ever did for three years, then they call it "Copyright infringement." And go on their way without a care in the world.
So, People need to know that one, if you write something there is only one requirement. You put it in the right category. That's it. This is a free forum, so some aspects you might be used to won't be here. Like having your own subfolder. Now if you are planning some kind of a series, let me know. I'll see what I can do to make it happen.
The Tales of the Abyss section is mine! Each of those stories took two hours to write, and they followed the old guidelines of the other site. As you can tell they were only meant to be outlines of bigger stories. I'll most likely keep writing stuff in that style because I have alot of projects I am working on. But you can use that format as an example if you want to write original fiction!
Banners are a good idea. Lets see what you come up with. Good luck.
