Fan talk:Main Page

Do we want to start a featured fan article, as well? Glorious  CHAOS!  16:57, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * No. God no.


 * Explaining my reaction: Do you want the trouble of running two featured articles? And most Fan articles aren't worth a featured spot.  Possibly, the best thing to do is leave a teaser to our "Best of fanfiction" page.  Lanate (talk) 19:25, 13 May 2009 (UTC)


 * What about linking the "Community" section of the sidebar (currently not a page) to here? Wouldn't it cover the same kind of info anyway? Plus, you could have links to Fanfiction, the Forum, etc. on the "Fan:Main Page" Rad140   When I am activated, when I am brought into a situation there is a reason.

 * I like Lanate's idea. But still, how is the Best of fanfiction page going anyhow? And if we put a teaser, would it be a teaser taken from the fics themselves? - Digi9346 - Your destruction is inevitable... 10:34, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, it's going. Again, it's kinda hard for it to develop when there is such a small base of users to vote for fics. I've put one up on the main page, and added some for voting on the talk page. I could add fics that I think are worthy (as I've already done with the one to start it off), but it would defeat the community/voting aspect, and then become more of a "Rad140's Best of Fanfiction".  I think Lanate meant a blurb about it or a link on the Fan:Main Page to the Best of Fanfiction page. I'm not exactly sure how you would preview fics though.

 * Well, I don't think that having users review which is best would work well. For one thing, only basically us editors even know of the existence of this page. For another, not all of us have the time and patience required to go through every fic in that is put up for voting. The community/voting thing is thus a rather moot point.
 * Thus, I think that perhaps we should work on this page from a different angle. How's this, why don't you just add the fics that you think to be good to the page, and add a basic summary of the plot. Perhaps, add an cut of an interesting scene that might attract readers, much like a teaser. That's probably the answer to how to preview fics. Why don't we try this way first and see how things work out? - Digi9346 - Your destruction is inevitable... 08:01, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * K, I like that, sounds like a good plan. I think the idea/page needs to be promoted, b/c outside of us, no one knows about it, and it's a pain to find through searching. I guess I'll work on changing the table up a bit or something. Rad140   When I am activated, when I am brought into a situation there is a reason.

On a some-what related note, should we include M/R/MA/NC-17 stories? Basically, anything suggestive or 18+ ? I'm pretty sure all of us here are of age... I was just wondering about our "family-friendly" image and those younger reading such things (as a huge majority of the appeal is to the younger crowd). Personally, I'm no for including such things here (they can find them elsewhere if they want). I was just wondering, b/c there are some good mature stories out there.
