I really dislike fanfiction in general, and probably wouldn't read any of it.

Not to deter anyone else. Just sayin'.

I honestly could go either way. I've started a fanfic or seven in the past. And all fanfics are different: some are downright amazing and others just.. should never have been written. I've used them during writer's block.. but you know, whatever. It really doesn't matter one way or the other. ^^;

Another thought is that we could make a "Sister" forum for fanfiction, an idea I am a little bit more into.

My, my, this is quite the controversial suggestion!

Actually the idea of a "sister" forum isn't such a bad idea. That would satisfy the people who don't want a fan fic section, and it would make those who do happy.  

Did anyone happen to see my question about being allowed to post longer entries for people who have longer pieces? Any opinions?

In reply to your question, though it states otherwise in the rules, on the boards themselves it says to keep your posts to 2 to 3 pages when introducing a work, from there I suggest asking your readers if they would mind a longer segments from there on out.

Ah! A loop-hole. :) Thanks. I'll keep that in mind when posting some of my longer stuff.

So what's the verdict on the fan-fic vote?
