The artists get a fan art board, why can't us writers have a fan fiction board? I see people putting their fan fictions in their blogs, I think it makes a lot more sense to have a board for it. I've seen other Blizzard communities with fan fiction boards and it seems to work out really well and draw a lot of attention.
Can we please have a fan fiction board? I think it would look smashing just below the Fan Art board
Well mainly there isn't one already because we have never had many fan fiction writers, however the appropriate place for fan fiction for now would I suppose be Books, Comics, and Writing.
If it became popular enough though I'm sure we'd add a fan fiction board.
Thanks for the fast reply However, I'm thinking the reason there aren't many writers coming forward is because they don't have a board dedicated to them. I've seen several members with links to fan fictions in their blogs and there are a couple fan fictions on that writing board, but I think if we had a forum for us to write on it would inspire a lot of people to post their writing.
Like I said, I know of a particular popular Starcraft 2 forum where the fan fiction board is posted on as regularly as, say, the Protoss discussion board. Would it break any rules for me to link to that Starcraft 2 forum so I could show you?
I've been looking for a chance to start writing Diablo 3 fan fiction and if there was a board for it here it would just feel better. I dunno, posting fan fictions on my blog or on the general writing board just doesn't feel right. Perhaps we could give the board a test run to see if it gets used? I know I'd post on it, and I know there are people out there who like reading well-crafted fan fiction
EDIT: Another interesting thing of note, Blizzard just recently had a fan fiction contest which has brought a lot of fan fiction writers out of the shadows. It probably would've been a good idea to have a fan fiction board up during the contest, but the fan fiction writers are on the rebound now, looking for places to post their continued works...
Yes, good points. I suppose we could open up a Fan Fiction section for a few months and see how it goes. We're just trying to keep forum sections that aren't used a lot down.
I think it's definitely worth a shot though. I'll talk to Jetrall about it.
Thanks for your help! I have to say this is one of the few times I've suggested a feature for a website without being entirely shot down I think I'm going to like being a member of this community.
On a related thought, I just read that information in your signature about Imperius... I think that would be the perfect topic for my first fan fiction story! I haven't read any of the Diablo books so I might get some stuff wrong, but I'm sure you and the rest of the community can correct my lore inaccuracies.
Phwew, I'm getting too excited about all this. I need to go to sleep before it gets too late
Let me know about your thoughts on an Imperius fan fiction, and maybe even a storyline you'd like to see (if you're into that kind of thing). Let's make it happen cap'n!

*starts thinking of a story to write*
I've made a administrator thread to discuss the possibility of a Fan Fiction section.
