    Post Do we have a suitable forum section for 'in character' writings?

    Hello again! Asked a question regarding the Synad in the 3.5e section, got helpful answers, but ultimately the thread did not get quite as much attention as I had hoped, somewhat.

    So this next question I'm asking is sort of being thrown in the general 'Role-Playing Games' section, if I can help it; primarily because I can't figure out /where/ I'd actually put a question like this and I'd like a bit more visibility on it.

    Do we have any proper areas for where a person could write or post a bit of fiction regarding their own character? Nothing creepy, mind you, but more intended as a thought exercise. I know there's the IC-section for currently running games, however that is for.... well.... currently running games.
    What I'm thinking is almost something adjacent to an IC-journal.
    It'd help me get into the mindset of my Archivist, I think. Playing a character with 3 minds is...- well, it'll be a challenge and I think a writing exercise would help.

    Bartmanhomer has posted a bunch of stories in the Arts and Crafts forum. That would probably be a good place to post our own stories.

    There used to be a lot of stuff like that in there, didn't there? I seem to remember lots of IC fiction...

    I noticed as well, the Arts/Crafts section indeed being very..... empty. Aside from the pinned threads, of course- which are a grand total of 3. So I was a little hesitant about posting anything there; given there's nothing actually there (that I can see, aside from those pinned threads), I wasn't sure if it was allowed.

    That's probably just your settings. From what I can see, there are 80+ pages of threads there.

    Hum! I see.
    Is there a specific setting I should be looking for?
    I'm checking the General settings and not seeing anything of the sort, but it could just be entirely dodging my eyeballs.

    Sheriff: Indeed, Arts & Crafts is the place. Also, please put things in the topically appropriate forum/subforum, and not where you think it'll get more visibility/traffic. Thanks!
