"Creative Writing" Forum

Postby Peter » Wed Mar 30, 2011 2:53 pm

Something thats bugging me lately, but how the hell are these "creative writing"?

Two Word Story
theonewordadaytomakeasentencecontinuationofshenmue1
One Word Story
Three Word Story
One Word Story Game


I mean how the hell is this creative writing? Ive seen more creativity in the Junk forum to be honest. Whats worse about these topics also is if you look hard enough you can see certain members that post in these topics, dont post in any other topics on the boards at all. Their contributions to the boards are random words posted in these topics and nothing else. Surely these are no different from the old TPAM topics?

Why get rid of it? It could be used for people's actual work to showcase their creative writing skills. Just designate it for a more useful purpose instead of getting rid of it all together.

Because it was never used that way except by two people who never post any more and even then it was rarely used. It's just taking up useless data space. Also if you really want to write something here we have Entertainment forum. As for the 99% of the rest we already have a junk forum.

It wasn't used that way because the forum was crammed with garbage "one word a day" topics. I think it's silly to just get rid of it.

yet again before the crap topics it was never used. So we of other forums that serve just as well so no use taking extra data and paying for something that is worthless on these forums.
When was the last time you or anyone else wrote up a big essay of a story? *crickets* Yup

I have no plans to post anything I write on this forum. But, I bet a few would come out of the woodworks if you had a forum for them.


Way to be a creativity killer you fucking Commie.

Has to an active creative forum going before it can be killed so it's been dead for years. :lol:
