Hey, all you writing-types on theO! Got a question for ya:
A recent post on the Official World led to a few comments with a nice idea for a specific Writer's World on theOtaku. As editor of the Fan Words, I wholeheartedly agree with this idea and shall set one up within the week.
So far, I foresee two main purposes for such a world:
-One, it will give our illustrious list of beta-readers a far more stable, purposeful home base and presence on the site.
-Two, it will be an excellent place for members to perhaps host writing workshops for things like stylistic approaches, grammar tricks and other writing-related topics.
There have also been suggestions that we maybe even have little writing exercises every now and then, especially as a means for beta-readers to create short work examples for others to see. This way, beta-readers without as many viewable Fan Words can still demonstrate their preferences and styles.
I'm still working over how much guest-posting will be involved with this place, but that can be worked out and changed as we see fit.
As always, I have already contacted Red Tigress to create an introduction banner (because she's just cool like that).
And now for my question . . .
What do we call this thing? During the initial brainstorming, I was using "Writers' Den" as a placeholder name while I described it to others. Red herself later came up with "The Writers' Block" which I'm liking right now.
Any more suggestions for naming this World? The sooner we have a name, the sooner we can get to setting it up . . . and the sooner we can all get to work!
