As I have said before, I love to write short stories and song lyrics. That being said, I also noticed that we don't have a thread for that; so I was thinking that maybe we could have a thread that's jost for people to show off thier talents and and what not you know?
Also that comes to another point: I write stories and lyrics that are sometimes a bit gory (and at some points overly I want to say?) so I was also thinking that we could have a rating section? For example if there's a story that I wrote ages ago where a kid cuts out a girls heart (don't ask how I came up with that ok?); you would want to let the reader's know that there is going to be some violence so the rating would ba not only a warning for the reader but also for us understand?
We would know whether or not it was healthy enough to be posted on here, and if they have any doubts then they can just PM one of us the story and we could determine whether or not it can be posted on here.
Make sense?

I really love your suggestion. I'll wait for Mark's review, but I'm really up to creating that board.
For the rating, perhaps a Forum Admin could change in the title of the thread to a genre that fits it best e.g. Horror, Thriller, Action, Romance etc. ?
I think there is also a code that enables Forum Admins to restrict people being able to see certain boards if they're not old enough. Maybe that is a good idea?
I'll wait for Mark and then we can either Accept or Reject it, however I'm 100% up to Accepting it.
Mark?

Hmm "a kid cuts out a girls heart" seems quite gory and you must remember that people as young as 13 will be able to view it.
As for a code that can restrict people that are under age from accessing the board, this can be bypassed to easy for example if a user has JacaScript turned off in their browser
Feel free to post more on the suggestion and ill have a think about it.
At the moment, im not sure due to people as young as 13 being able to read the stories. they could twig that its age restricted, then delete their account and re-register with a birthdate of the correct age.
The only way for this to work would be if the board was password protected, then a member can PM a staff member for the password, as then we can check their age in their profile, however to avoid abuse of this the password must be changed every now and again.
