Welcome to Short story duelists

2006-11-30 [crowdel]: ok no problem thaks for the banner

2006-11-30 [Linderel]: You're welcome. :)

2006-12-03 [crowdel]: we need more submissions for all categories

2006-12-20 [Lady of Lore]: I will give it a try....though right now with Christmas and all I've got very little time. After that though I may be able to.

2006-12-22 [windgirl]: I think I have a short story I'd like to submit, but I am sort of wiki incompetant and i'm not sure how to put the story into the competition. Can anyone tell me?

2006-12-22 [SeLoCeS]: hi what sort of story is it so i know which wiki to put into

2007-01-01 [Akayume]: Sweet. :P Can't wait to enter.

2007-01-02 [Hobbit teen]: hey would a historical fiction be in the sci-fi area or anywere else because it is in that category yet it is also a look into the future on what might happen if the U.S. isnt careful.

2007-01-02 [GoneGone]: Well, historical fiction is usually historical fiction. Science-fiction is just what its name means. If looking into the future concerns flashy machines, teleporters, computers, time travellers and other sci-fi junk, then it's science fiction commenting on our social history. If it doesn't have any sci fi junk, then it's an overview of how they lived then and how we live now and is still just historical fiction.

2007-01-03 [crowdel]: ok a question to all members should I remake the categories and if so which ones should i add or erase

2007-01-03 [Amarantha]: These look good to me. If anything, removing one or two might be a good idea, maybe combining mystery and horror into mystery/horror, or something like that, because there are many categories and few stories.

2007-01-03 [GoneGone]: I say wait a little while and then delete the categories that get the fewest, or no submissions, if shortening the list is your aim.

2007-01-04 [crowdel]: no my aim is to make the list applicable to every sort of story as was pointed out by hobbit teen there isnt a historical fiction category here or to put mildly even a fiction section so maybe that would be a category to add i undertand we have few stories here however i do not want people turning down the wiki for any other reason then they didnt have my category

2007-01-04 [SeLoCeS]: you could always have an *Other Stories* category just so nothing gets missed if they cant fit it into a subject we alreay have or dont have ect

2007-01-04 [Amarantha]: That's a really good idea.

2007-01-06 [crowdel]: i like it i may incorporate that the criteria would have to be a bit special having to mean the story could not fit into another category

2007-01-06 [Hobbit teen]: yeah i have to go with [SeLoCeS] on that one

2007-01-06 [crowdel]: i submit to all members the new potpourri category within short story duelists

2007-01-07 [GoneGone]: So, in potpourri stories, you could have a surrealist story pitted against a historical fiction?

2007-01-07 [SeLoCeS]: hahaha potpourri lol i guess that will get some peoples interest

2007-01-07 [Amarantha]: *is tempted to have a story featuring potpourri*

But that would smell rather strongly.
