I have been enjoying the new Fanfiction forum and reading and reviewing some of the stories. I can foresee it becoming quite messy once there are a lot of different authors and stories posted up there. The one chapter per post is a good idea, too. But what happens when there are 50 authors with 15 stories each? I can see the need for moderation becoming dire fairly quickly. Also, once a story is finished, the writing thread will slowly sink to the bottom unless the author or someone else *bumps* it up to the top.

If I ever finish writing a story, I shall give this forum a try with it. I need all the encouragement I can get, since I am MORE than a little rusty at fanfiction writing. As I understand it, one can post unfinished stories chapter by chapter as well, but that idea frightens me!

Cheers!
