Switch to database-What do you think?

[GTF]

I found a host that is willing to let me upload a database with a result similar to fanfiction net only completely LOST themed.

Everyone would be able to upload their fics and we could still have the monthly contest along with some other events.

What do you guys think??

Great idea!

I'll make you mod over there.

Ooo so do we post here or there?

Well that's what I'd like to know. Which would you guys prefer...the database option only came up yesterday.

I think it would be fun to have the forum, for hashing out plot ideas and letting people know fics are updated. Also a fun place to show art, talk about theories and so forth. The database would make for easier story-searching.

I have only just checked this, so I'll go sign up over there with the same name

Yes, have this as the forums for the database, with, as barelyshocking mentioned, art, ideas and random threads, as well as maybe topics to discuss each other's fics. And have the database for the stories themselves.

I wonder how we can better promote this forum and the fanfiction database? I know a lot of people can get into the mindset of "I'll do it later" or "It doesn't seem very popular" because we're just starting out. I think I might make some banners or something?

I'm sorry, I'm pretty enthusiastic about this whole thing but I'm not sure how we can encourage more people to get involved.
