A Name for the New Writing Forums!

ETA...10/11/14... I thought about doing a new post for this, but not quite yet... after zillions of hours of tears and toil and wishing I knew PHP, the horrible registration on the site has been SOLVED!! SOLVED, I TELL YOU!! THEY SAID IT COULDN'T BE DONE!!
(who are "they?" Don't ask. Trust me.)

Much more news about the site very soon! :)



Hey all,

So... the new writing forums have been in the works for a LONG time, and they are VERY CLOSE to being ready to go! The only problem is... I can't figure out how to transfer anything from the old test site to the new one. But never fear! This can be solved! I just need to start the NEW site and then transfer all of the forum info over by hand. (Not as horrible as it sounds, actually.)

BUT... that means that I have to decide on a name for the forums RIGHT NOW.

So. I need some input here! Lyndsie's suggestion was www.allfic.com, and I have to say that I think this is a great name. I really want to be inclusive with these forums, and I do a LOT of nonfic writing. So I want a name that shows it's a welcoming space for nonfic.

The only thing I wonder about it is... should the name include some information that reflects the fact that it's a writing forum for fanfic authors who want to work on original fics/nonfics? That's why I also thought of the second domain name idea. And I think that www.fanfictoallfic.com does convey that concept.

THOUGHTS! Questions, comments, ideas! Now is the time... because I have to decide very soon!

I like allfic.com to keep the title/URL short and sweet. And then you can have a catchy slogan, like "From fan fic to non-fic, we're writers of allfic!" (That's stupid, but I think you get it.) The slogan would be more descriptive of what the site would be about, while the URL would remain inclusive and short enough to remember easily.

Definitely agree with idreamofdraco, the second one, although gets the message across is a little wordy. Much like this comment that is just saying the same things as above ;)

TwistedPixie @ Sep 30, 2014 03:37 am


YES! Idod, can I use that slogan? :) Love it.

And TP, you definitely had something new to say. I think that's the biggest problem with the second domain name-- it's wordier than it needs to be. Although there's another thing, too... I really want the forums to be primarily for fanfic writers, because that's their purpose, but I don't want to exclude anyone else, either. It's more about a particular way of understanding how ofics are related to fanfic writing... it's a WHOLE NEW PARADIGM of writing.. we will conquer the world, and then...


Okay, I've had too much coffee today. ;)

If you're really interested in helping people move on, and be supportive in that way, how about Fan to Fiction?

Mystical Starlight @ Sep 30, 2014 03:00 pm


I like it! But, um, I think we'll have to keep it as a slogan. ;) Because... (ponders drumroll)... (nope, not quite yet)... I went with the popular vote. More about this in a couple of days, as the DNS propagates...

Anise @ Sep 30, 2014 05:54 pm


If you really like it, the slogan is yours. If you come up with something else, that's A-OK, too. ;)

idreamofdraco @ Sep 30, 2014 05:57 pm


You charmer.

I think anyone who comes on here, as a reader or a writer will know what sort of community it is; we have high standards but are so inclusive of all types of stories. Especially for the idea of original fiction.

I think for a lot of readers, they would jump at the chance to read original fiction, I myself would! So to have a place in order to do it, would be much easier -especially being able to link the author of fanfic to original fics- as I know I've heard a lot of authors say it, but never know where to find it. So I think excluding people is the least of your problems :D

TwistedPixie @ Oct 02, 2014 12:32 pm


(blushes)

Oh thanks... (tries to look charming)

I know what you mean. I would LOVE to read original works by fanfic authors, but it never seems that anything is set up so that readers in the fandom can FIND it, or link the two types of writing... which is the biggest thing that I really, really, really, really want to accomplish with this site. :)

And I've been working on it all day. (is tired.) but it's a good tired...

Anise @ Oct 02, 2014 03:33 pm


I like fanfictoallfic. It makes it clear to everyone what it's about.

Mystical Starlight @ Oct 14, 2014 10:51 am


I could put it in as a forum header. :) But the actual site itself is ALMOST ready to be revealed... ;)
