So, if we did create that category, we might only make it available outside the US <grin> |
Yeah, that bugs me. But then the BBC is now doing that to non UK people for the new Dr Who spin off as well (and since my ISP is registered in France or something, despite being here, I can't see their content either).
But FX (the channel that's running Brotherhood in the UK) has some good stuff on their site
I was going to ask for 'The State Within' as well, but since the fandom started up, it's near exclusively slash-orientated, so maybe best not

Wow. This place looks great! I haven't visited in a while. I love that you've added all the new stuff (though I wasn't sure about the concept in the beginning) and hope folks start posting more stories in some of the new catagories soon (ROME, anyone? C'mon.... pleeeeeeeze).
Good job to all involved!!!

Last time I checked Thirteen was still in the Rome general category. So yeah.

Me too - it was a lot of work, and there is not a lot to show for it... but hopefully it will grow and the community expand.

I'd love to see some more categories...like video games and anime. I have this Half-Life and a couple of Ghost In The Shell fics I've been working on since last year. I had to stop working on them for a while because of personal and job related issues, and has now started them up again; specially my Ghost in The Shell stories. There's other fandoms I enjoy, like BLEACH that I'm planning a fan fic on.
"If you build it, they will come." Is a good quote to take up on, but of course, it's the site admins choice.
Personally, I would rather have my stories available here than at sites like fanfiction.net because people tend to help you out more with writing and less flames. Not that I've received any flames in my reviews since my writings have improved as much as I could see.

Wouldn't that go under Misc?

That's right, even the misc section has defined categories.
At this stage, we're not planning on adding more categories. Maybe in a few months. We already set up sixty-odd categories at the members' requests and there's like ten with stories in them. We need to clean out the categories not garnering any stories first. Once that's done, we'll think about adding others.
But thank you for your suggestion. It's noted.
do.
ETA: DEC would like a 28 Days/Weeks Later category.

|
|
Hi, this is probably my first time actually posting anything here, other than a story, but I wrote to support about this, and was kindly directed here. I'd like to add my vote for a category (anywhere) for Phantom of the Opera. I've recently been able to watch the movie, and have tickets for the show next August, and have completely fallen in love with it again (I had previously only heard the soundtrack).
I have a story in the works, something I cherish and have been working on for awhile that I am very reluctant to post onto FF.net, as I'm not sure if they'll tell what my style or story needs to work on, or if they'll just write to say they liked it (not that there's anything wrong with that, just that I'm more of a meat-and-potatoes kinda girl ), or if they'll just flame me without any constructive reasoning as to why they're flaming me.
Also, though it may sound kinda ridiculous, FF.net has specific guidelines and restrictions against the use of song lyrics in any way, shape or form. And if you're writing a story in the Phantom category....you can see now why it's so ridiculous. How the hell can a person write a good Phantom story (where everyone usually breaks into song every few minutes or so, because, hello! Musical!) without song lyrics? Because words, though poignant, are sometimes just not enough.
So...here's my long-winded vote for Phantom.
Oh, and to dolarabee (Do) who was the one to respond to my question: "phan phiction" is the spelling amongst "phans," that is, fans of Phantom of the Opera. Just to let you know!

|
|
Hmmmm. Thinking on it now, what about a general Musicals category in Miscellaneous instead? That way any fandom from a musical could be put there, like Moulin Rouge (which I realize has its own category at the moment), Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, RENT, Dirty Dancing, Grease, Charlie and the Chocolate factory.....I think I've exhausted my mental list of musicals....plus all the ones by Rodgers and Hammerstein (I guess not).
By the way, has there been any progress regarding this idea behind this thread, or has it had to go on the back burner?

That would be back burner for now. Sorry.

New categories and all... as part of trying to revive this place a bit, we'll soon be looking at all those categories we added. Check out the ones that garnered no interest (and see if we should just drop them) and maybe add some new ones based on your suggestions.
I have been keeping a list of what's been suggested so far but I thought best to ask if there are any new stuff that tickle your fancy.
Answer in this thread, please.
do.
