tongue Thanks man.

I don't think that limiting the fan fics is a good idea. That could be very detrimental to the forum, because it will not generate interest. If there is a Batman one, and someone has a really good idea for a Batman one, then they'd have to wait, and these fan fics, some times, last a lot longer than RPG's. So, I say they shouldn't limit it to one genre.

You're right. It'd probably be best to leave it up to the mods to say "Hey, this is getting out of hand, we've got a ton of [Franchise] flicks going on, do something different," if/when the need arises.

What they'll do is just let the story die. If no one is reading it, the author will tend to just abandon it.


If it looks like there is one franchise getting a lot of fics and it is drowning out the other fics, then it should be given its own place much like ff.n does when enough people have shown an interest in a universe. But I highly doubt that there will be such a dominating franchise in the NSW FF


Btw, i'd call the new for "General Fan Fiction" rather than "Non-Star Wars Fan Fiction" its shorter, easier to remember and harder to mix up with the Star Wars Fan Fiction forum.

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

Yes, the name should be different than Non-Star Wars fan Fiction. NSWFF bares a striking resemblance to NSFW. tongue
