A writing forum would be cool

Sounds great! I do a lot of writing too. (have a couple of novels under works) and it would be great to let people judge them and give me a few pointers.

 

Aren't you worried about someone robbing your words?

There's also the issue of posting 15-100 pages of fiction onto this forum.

 

People could attach a zip file.

 

I think new forums have to be at least tangentially computer or Mac-related... there's a case to be made for the digital photography forum, I'm not sure whether there is for a specific writing forum.

 

I doubt that there is enough intrest for this, but why can't you use the community forum?

 

Um, word processing? The power of Word? Pages?

Er, maybe it's a bit of a stretch.

 

I think it would be neat, interesting to read and fun. So, I vote yes for this. I do like your idea.

 

Douglas Adams, Stephen Fry, Richard Dawkins and William Gibson were/are Mac users, supposedly, to mention a few...

 

iBookG4User, maybe you'll just have to settle for using the Community forum to post your writing. I assume you're not too worried about plagiarism, theft of ideas, or loss of privacy from metadata embedded within your Word attachments...

(Yeah, I'm a little paranoid. )

 

What are the stories are mostly going to be about?

 

Not to mention the author lady in "Stranger than fiction"

not that that has a lot to do with real life authors...

 

And Douglas Coupland

 

I think we could easily make it mac/computer related. There are lots of powerful and fun software titles out there to help with a writer's task that go way beyond Pages and Word - Final Draft, Power Structure, Scrivener. Not only could posters post LINKS to their works, they could also state how technology helped them in the process. My $.02.
