New Superman Forums - 03/29/12 11:20 AM
Hey, everyone
I wouldn't exactly call this a dead board - in fact I'm amazed that we still have a thriving, energetic community here - but inevitably you have to expect some entrophy over the years when you are a forum for a show that was cancelled over a decade ago.
So I've been thinking lately that the time might be ripe to expand things a little to encourage even more traffic on the boards.
I suggested to Annette that we introduce a couple of new fanfic forums - Superman In Other Canon. These would be both nfic and gfic forums where authors could post even more great stories dealing with the likes of Smallville, The Superman Movies, the Comics, The Superman TV shows and so on. Basically, if your story includes the characters of Superman or related characters from the various Superman universes beyond LNC then you will be able to post it in the new forums.
Annette was enthusiastic, so expect to see those appear soon.
There will just be a couple of rules for these:
1. The general rules of the boards will apply, so there will be ratings limit of PG13 and below for the gfic forum and no G&L fic will be allowed.
2. To help readers work out what to expect authors should include the canon their story covers in the story header. For example:
The Forgotten Dream 1/4 (Smallville)
or
The Forgotten Dream 3/12 (Superman Returns)
or even
The Forgotten Dream 4/5 (Multi-Verse)
if that applies.
3. There will be a TOC forum set up, so authors should apply the same (Complete/WIP) notation in the headers of any TOCs they set up themselves as exist in the current TOC forums.
Think that's it. These rules - and any other pertinent info - will be posted in the forums when they are set up, so it should all be clear then.
We hope you enjoy these additions to the mbs and that they'll host many more stories for FoLCs to enjoy!
