You know what'd be nice? If we could move the Lit board out of Show Off. First of all, because that'd kill the notion of intellectual masturbation (putting poems and stories up so people can look at them and say "Wow, you're so smart") and it might also draw people to the board, if they, you know, knew it existed.
Secondly, if only registered members could read it, artists would retain their first rights, should they decide to publish. Meaning they'd get more money, because they haven't published yet.
Two suggestions.

I agree wholeheartedly. ;D
I actually talked to Oliver about this not too long ago, but maybe he's changed his mind by now. (I can hope, can't I?)

It sure does sound like a good idea. Moving it out of the Show Off would most likely attract more users to the board. I agree on this one.  igi |

I don't know about attracting more people, but moving it would certainly broaden it. As a sub-board of show-off, it is intended for you to post your stuff and get comments. Maybe we should make it a discussion board as well as a show-off type of thing.

I agree. Having it as its own board would create a more user-friendly atmosphere, I think. It takes too long clicking two links to get in there. =P

We've broadened it a bit with the post a paragraph sort of thing and other little things I've posted, but there isn't really any actual discussion that goes on- I remember two threads: one being a review, and the other being about an article from a newspaper, but that's about it I think. |

How's that?  We'll see how it does outside of its sub-board, if no luck then we may move it back. |

Thanks, Ollie.
*pushes his luck*
Could we do something about the first rights issue?
(and, on a side note, move it to a more fitting category?)

www.fictionfactor.com/articles/rights.htmlWith the added condition that, if it's been shown only to a select audience (e.g. the members at a forum, but not the guests) it is considered unpublished, and retains its first rights.  *nudge nudge poke nudge nudge* ♥ Mastermind
