...okay, if it's alright with the administration and lantz, I'll post such a thread to have the discussion take place (and I'll ensure it stays up).

If Lantz is OK with it then that's fine by me, but I'm not sure if he wants such a thread.

I would only put it up if he wanted it up... that's all.

*ahem* ANYWAY! Should I write a thread asking for help with prewriting? That seems to be my main issue right now.

I'd prefer to wait until there's enough on site to have a proper discussion.

Honestly, it might not hurt to have a thread open to act as a containment thread. Otherwise these derails are going to keep happening. ...I kinda insist since, interestingly enough, it's actually lantz that brought this particular derail on in the first place. Not directly, but still.

Besides running the forum, I can provide avatars for people as well~
This is my mod voice. ...Most of the time anyway.

...nothing on my annoyance?

Well, I'm working on it, but it'll take a while.

No Alice, I reformatted the story and am waiting on betaing to be finished, until then I'm not opening a thread because all it will wind up doing is confusing things further or encourage bashing or violent speculation as past threads have proven.

in short, not until I feel there's enough content up.

He isn't the beta for it Xam. He couldn't handle the tone.

Ah. I see what you mean now.

Still, now that I'm thinking on it, who is the beta?

More likely he couldn't handle how stupid your story plans are but I digress.

Magos, while I'm not Cherry, could you please keep the arguing with lantz out of my threads? I'd much appreciate it.

This is why I'm asking for a containment thread. Even if it's not "ready," this stuff is going to come up in one thread or another, as demonstrated here. Plus it's kinda ironic, given past discussion threads were made by lantz himself. But yes, I do think we need a containment thread. So the lantz derails stay in one place instead of consuming the forum like some sort of plague.

Alright, then. I volunteer this thread to be the containment thread, but only when it's needed. When it isn't needed, please, make sure everyone goes to the correct thread.
