Is There A Mod For FanFiction?

[Afer]

Is there a mod for the fan-fiction section? If not, i would love to do it! Since i post banners, wallpapers and i post my AFS so i use this section more than any other section on the forum!

[SideStrike]

Well its Flobbster and CMK but if you mean another one like a member I would love to do it as well. Im on the forum basically like 18/7 (instead of 24/7 Ive got to sleep LOL) I do my Series as well and read most of the fan fics on here. I spend more time in the fan fics and 3 other threads then most.

I think we could do with a moderator here, but I think the fact that because it's only a few members who post here particularly often makes it a little pointless.

I think unless we were to arouse many other member's attention, I think it's just a bit of a waste of time as there will only be a few people using it. And If we all keep the section clean and tidy, stopping and thinking before we post new threads (I'm talking about silly things like posting Wallpapers and Banner requests in the fanfiction area instead of the graphics area), then we should be fine

Yeah thats what i'm talking about!

Huh? I'm confused. I actually said that having a Mod was pointless because of the small number of members using it compared to other Sections.

Or were you talking about SideStrike?

..SideStrick and Sammie (not picking on you both, its just recent posts that have not been put in the right places lol) but i still think its something to see about because i actully think this is quite a busy section. Alot of members don't go into it because it is titled "Fan-Fiction" and ok..alot of that is fan-fiction stories but there alot of beautiful art and graphics that people would maybe like to see but don't use the section so don't see them. And little mistakes like posting in the wrong section wouldn't happen because i would clean it up and make it look presentable! lmao! this is my favourite section in the whole forum, because i am so involved in all the different aspects of the section. I would love to do it if they are wanting a MOD for it.

Sorry but I dont think the Fan Fiction section needs any more mods, Flobbo and CMK do their jobs great with keeping the threads in order and I dont think we need another one.

PS* I dont really think AFS really counts as a fan-fiction, sorry.

I actually agree with Wicca. I mean, I'm not sure how to say this, but it's almost like The Fanfiction Section is swamped by Action Figure Series'. I mean, even though there are only two, there are endless threads on them, when there should only be one each episode.

And I think what Wicca means is that basically, in comparisson to other Series which are 4 or 5 solid posts of hard work, the Action Figure Series don't really compare as they rely mainly on graphics and not much else. Other, more deserving work gets over looked by this 'Comic-Book-Style-Fad'.

Sorry if this offends people, but I feel quite strongly on this. I guess I prefer things with a bit more substance than a few pictures stitched together. But I do know how people enjoy them.

[Afer]

Ohh so do like CMK and FLOBB sort something in this section if something goes wrong?

As for the figure series'- They made up mostly of images, but its more the storyline that counts. As for floods of posts. Apart from the "Action Figure Show Return" thread (i think its called) i only post one episode a week and don't do a separate post for tailers and such. I post the spoiler for the next weeks episode in this weeks. That is also a reason i wanted a MOD..to sort out the threads. I mean nobody has told SideStrick not to post separate threads just for a trailer, then post a new thread with the whole episode the next day.

[Insanity]

I think the mods we have now I doing a fantastic job with this section. I don't think we need a mod for the maintenance of this section, because its great as is.... but I would like to propose a mod for another reason.

CMK and Flobbo are great mods, but we hardly ever see anything being done in the Fan Art/Fan Fiction Section. I know CMK is really busy so he doesn't have as much time as he could to put into these sections. It would be great if we could get more Official contests, like with poetry, fan fics, graphics, hand drawn art and tons of other great stuff. We just needs some one who is mature, polite, dedicated to fan fiction/art, and is willing to put time and effort into making the Fan Art/Fiction section the best it could be. I know it seems like a lot to ask, but it would be great to see how awesome these sections can be, plus it would really relieve the current mods from a lot of work.

I would love to do this! Would i decide/ pay for the prize?? like the MOD running it?

Jumping the gun a bit? If CMK1887 wants a Mod for the Fanfic Section then he'll say so. Just relax and don't get your hopes up.

[Afer]

That came out wrong lmao. Pure big headed! I mean does like eg. CMK pay for the prizes in in the monthly comps?

Its not just a few pictures stiched together. Theres a story involved. The pictures are like pictures in a book. We have to pose them, create a story, there are different angles involved, etc. So I usually can see the other person's side in a situation. But your side is kind of hard to see. Besides the fact that the thread is swamped. And Im sorry for that I will pay attention more when creating topics

I think the Fan Fiction and Fan Art sections are fine. Once they were split up, things were easier to get too. I'm not sure that AFS are fan fiction - I think they'd be better in art since they are computerized graphics. I'm sure they'd have the same following there.

And the reason we don't have contests anymore is because of the low turnout. I hosted a Christmas story contest about a year ago and spent over $50 on prizes and only had 3 entries. We've got some great authors right now: SE w/ Kissing Daylight, Wicca w/ Wicca, Chosen01 w/ When in Rome, Lost Guardian w/ Afterlife, and JDJR's Odd Couple and new stories... I think these series have great followings and are all wonderfully written (as are other series that I can't remember off the top of my head right now!)

So, I think with these authors looking out for other authors in the section, that it is fine. CMK and Tim do what they can when it's needed but it really isn't. My only suggestion would be moving action figure stories so that the written series were easier to get to.

I for one think that if CMK and Flobbo think there is a need for a watcher for the Fan Fic/Art Graphic section then they will address the issue.
Personally I think that these threads are fine the way they are. There are a lot of really Talented people on the forum and I think that the two separate sections that we have now more than adequately showcases these talents.
I for one am not a big fan of the of the Action Figure series, That being said, I do however appreciate the effort that it takes to create these pictorial series and if that is your thing, then by all means create.
I do think that the energy that is wasted in bickering between the artists of this genre, should be directed toward perfecting this art form by either writing a top notch story line or perfecting your graphic skills.
wasting time trying to decide who came up with what first or who uses the fan fiction section more, is a waste of time and creativity. sorry if I offend a few people by saying that but I believe that there is room enough for all the creative, talented people on the forum to showcase their talents and celebrate each others creativity whether it is writing fiction or artistic in nature.
On a side note. I have noticed that several people have started using the @ symbol on ideas etc...
As an Artist, I have had some experience in this area and I can tell you that unless you legally (which does cost some money) register your artwork, ideas writings etc...(the Characters names, figures and general ideas of Television shows and movies are already copyrighted) using that symbol is useless.

There's no need for a mod in that section at this time.

And Afer...I personally don't think you have any right to suggest that you be given a mod position. I know you're somewhat of a regular on BtVSFigs, but you haven't even paid for your greeting cards that you ordered back in December. Ignoring your order without even telling me your circumstances certainly shows that you have no respect for me, wyatt309 (who put a lot of work into the greeting card fundraiser), and the forum as a whole.

Also, I've got to say that your post in the "Drinking" thread (which has been removed) was extremely uncalled for. Your post was very immature and disrespectful to the forum and its members, and you showed total disregard for ProBoards' Terms of Servce. I'll be contacting you via e-mail to tell you the consequences of your post.
