News 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! Posted by Anise on Sep 29, 2014 02:09 pm (11 Comments)
Comments 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. idreamofdraco @ Sep 29, 2014 05:18 pm 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. ;) Anise @ Sep 30, 2014 09:23 am 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... ;) Anise @ Oct 14, 2014 01:10 pm pandora jewelry official site converse outlet supreme hoodie asics running shoes birkenstock sandals off white shoes north face jackets for women asics gel lyte goyard bags birkenstock outlet timberland boots for men louboutin mens nike kyrie curry shoes pandora charms kyrie 3 basketball shoes kyrie 4 yeezy boost nike air vapormax longchamp outlet win like 96 mbt shoes clearance yeezy boost 350 v2 polo outlet pandora charms curry 4 balenciaga golden goose sneakers longchamp bags valentino outlet pandora jewelry adidas outlet coach outlet online michael kors canada jimmy choo shoes lacoste polo shirts birkin bags jordan retro the north face jackets nike vapor max kyrie 3 kyrie 3 kd 10 fake yeezy boost nike factory store birkenstock outlet pandora rings nmd r1 michael kors handbags outlet ferragamo shoes kevin durant shoes huarache shoes asics shoes barbour jackets air max 2018 kyrie irving shoes red bottoms for men yeezy zebra nike clearance curry 4 shoes north face jackets air max 97 silver bullet skechers shoes cheap soccer cleats red bottom pandora huaraches nike kobe bryant shoes oakley sunglasses for men kyrie 4 confetti celine handbags air max 270 air max 97 pandora ring pandora jewelry official site curry 4 pandora adidas shoes for women oakley outlet oakley sunglasses yeezy zebra v2 jordan 11 win like 96 pandora jewelry 70 off clearance ugg boots for women ultra boost red jordan 11 vapormax flyknit the north face outlet online nike outlet online rihanna puma uggs official site balenciaga sneakers pandora bracelets clearance win like 82 puma shoes birkin bag barbour yeezy boost 350 v2 ralph lauren factory store nike outlet store balenciaga triple s michael jordan shoes curry shoes air max 2018 lebron 15 shoes birkenstocks north face jackets clearance nike air max 95 vans store balenciaga shoes polo ralph lauren outlet air jordan shoes ugg slippers longchamp pandora charms jordan 11 win like 82 nike cortez pandora rings tommy hilfiger outlet online vapor max adidas outlet store ecco jordan 11 red skechers outlet online nike outlet jordan retro 12 cheap nfl jerseys yeezy beluga 2.0 nike uptempo michael kors outlet clearance louboutin boots red bottom shoes for women air jordan retro 11 cheap nfl jerseys china red bottom heels longchamp handbags rayban sunglasses michael kors outlet red bottoms louboutin clarks shoes for women birkenstock sandals yeezy boost 350 v2 timberland outlet stores louboutin wholesale nfl jerseys calvin klein underwear lacoste outlet clarks shoes for women tommy hilfiger outlet fitflop birkenstock shoes ray-ban sunglasses fitflop sandals ray bans nike outlet store nike air max 270 christian louboutin men kyrie 4 fitflop mbt nike outlet store online blue tint yeezy birkenstock uggs on sale 2018-0628y Meeniwo9471 @ Jun 28, 2018 01:43 am |
