This poll is to determine the interest in one or more sub-boards for writers (aka a Writers' Room). Please tick all that apply
I will run this for a week
NB - Big Finish creatives; we realise a fan fic area might be something you would want to avoid. If anyone wants to chat about this, please PM one of the admins or reply to this thread.
Thanks

There's no option for me.
Basically unless and until weve talked to the professional writers and made sure that this will not chase them away I am strongly opposed.
On the other hand, if we do talk to them, and they are OK, or we can come up with something they are OK with, then I have no real opinion, its not something I'm personally interested in, but have no objection to those that are.

Noted - just need to get a view from the pro-writers about the fan fic

paulmorris dorney @mattfitton @scotthandcock jonnymorris Rob Morris Gents - does it cause you guys any concerns if we set up a writer's room to allow discussions of fan fic or other writing projects? We don't want to make it difficult for Big Finish writers to be on this forum. If you could reply to this thread it would be helpful; several of us are writing and would appreciate a location to discuss. Thanks!

It doesn't bother me at all. I've only written one Dark Shadows audio and it was arguably fanfic Rob.

We don't want to make it difficult for Big Finish writers to be on this forum. No, no concerns or difficulties for me. Though, for balance, you should probably create another sub-forum that's just for Big Finish writers.

There was a proposal for a BF writers forum, though would you want private among yourselves or somewhere just to allow everyone else to interact?

Though having said that, I suppose a public area for writers and listeners to engage might have its uses. Do you remember back in the old days of Outpost Gallifrey there was an "ask the writers" sub forum where each writer (Big Finish, New Adventures, etc) had their own individual thread? Inevitably some threads were bustling and others had tumbleweeds drifting through them. Terrible idea. If you do it, please don't do it like that.

We want this forum to work for everyone; some of us didn't want to presume BF writers would want an explicit engagement, given this is not-official. It would be good to get views from some others such as dorney jonnymorris or @mattfitton. Obviously BF themselves won't comment

Locking thread as it's run for about a week. A clear vote in favour though not a massive amount of interest from the community as a whole. Should we agree to set this up (once we have guidelines established) it may be for a trial period.
We'll keep you posted!
