Due to the recent (Well, pretty recent) ban on stories, I propose that they make a storywriting forum.
This could be a Fiction forum, or even a Literature forum, to be a little more vague.
The thing is, since stories are now on userpages, they get nowhere near as much attention as they (well, the good ones) deserve!
Whereas, making a forum for them, people who like writing stories, and people who like reading them, could congregate, without taking up space in General.
I don't really see anything wrong with this idea.
Who's with me?

It seems like a good idea to me. Although, I am sure some people are bound to point out the flaws.

Errm.. that's a little extreme
its just, that many people are unhappy with the story ban, and I think this would be a great way of satisfying those Newgrounders

I would have usually disagreed with the idea, But now that you can get banned for posting stories on general forum, Made me approve the idea. ALSO NSFW FORUM FTW!!!

Writers Crew
That is one crew you can join, also the poetry club, and I'm sure there is a literature club somewhere.

But they're just threads. This guy is suggesting a separate forum for them, which I think is better for publicity, especially since it would attract people who wanted to read stories, whereas a thread called writers club or whatever will only attract those who are interested in writing stories and sticking them on your userpage will only attract those who thought you were interesting anyway.

A Literature forum would probably be abused by all the terrible writers out on the BBS that outnumber the good ones.

Then have some literature-forum-specific rules about story quality.

Although having a storywriting forum would solve many problems, it still isn't hyped enough to actually need one. If you look at most wanted forums, console chat would be ahead of story writing.

Good Idea, but unless someone makes a petition to Tom about it, the chances of that happening.....let's say there is a better chance of North Korea and South Korea becoming one again.

I understood what he was saying, and it has been mentioned several times before. Just one main question asked to create a new forum is, "Is there a big enough demand or isn't extremely necessary?

Honestly, I just don't see a big enough demand or need for a literature forum. That is why I just linked to those clubs and crews since the idea has been mentioned and shot down prior to this.

That...sounds like it could actually work.

Kinda like how the Art forum started. Everyone posted Art in General, and they decided to make a forum about it.

Just like Art, a Storyboard forum might be the medicine that cleans General's asshole full of incest and loli stories.

Better idea: If you can actually write, you go here, and if you can't, you don't post stories.

Since most of the "story threads" on Newgrounds are parodies of each other, or stupid roleplaying crap that is (or should be) against the rules, there's no reason to give it a separate forum.

I am not responsible for the content of the post above.
