For the fanfic writing category/board do you all think we need another board or sub-board to have a place for posting stories/linking to stories. Or for stories ideas, etc? I want the forum easy to navigate and not have an excess number if boards, but also clear where the best place to make threads.

I think it's fine to have one board. If needed, we could make sub-boards under the writing one.

I think we should just have a thread to toss around ideas.
Also on a writing forum I used to be part of years and years ago, we would have like...challenges that could be done every day like "put the song on shuffle and write to it" or "the thread starts off with a word, someone writes a story and leaves a new word, someone writes a story to the new word and leaves the next one" kind of things. Dumb little exercises. If anybody is interested in that.

That sounds interesting.

Sounds like a good idea. If we can think of some more daily, weekly, monthly, and long-termed varied events/challenges/activities so there's always something going on, that'd be perfect.

I think those were our two biggest exercises. There were only like...six of us doing it by the end, but goddamn it was a lot of fic.
We tried to go theme week with the songs a couple of times, but it was hard since we were all from different walks of life.

For the song idea, I think it would work if it's maybe like the themed event. If there's an optional selection of songs to choose from then it can help someone indecisive pick one, but leave it open for others who'd rather pick their own.
Maybe by the end of the weekend we can have this idea or something similar fleshed out to make a thread so there's something for next week.

We could probably figure something out, even if we want to bring flashfic into it (like in the good old days of LiveJournal, god I feel old).

An award system plugin has been added! Winners of competitions and whatnot will now be able to have their awards shown on their profile and small versions on their mini-profile to the sides of their posts. I made a Summer Adventure award for whoever wins that, so that will probably the first award to be given out.

Cool. Will there be different appearances for the awards then? And will they show what you won?

The awards can be any image. They are added by linking to the image URL. And I have to test how the description shows. I'm planning on making awards image already have text on them though.

Is it possible to make chat visible on the phone version? I want sometimes to access from my phone, when I am at class, but I cannot see the chat...

Unfortunately the chatbox is not functional with the mobile version, but if you switch to desktop view on your mobile it should still work. The display is going to be small unless you zoom, but it's the only work around.
