Active Felarya writers

It's occurred to me that, for anyone new here trying to wade his/her way through existing stories, there's no handy index of currently active writers. So I thought it might be useful to provide one.

The criteria here are simply
a) to have written at least three stories set in Felarya
b) to have written at least one story in 2010
c) to have received some recognition from the Felarya community.

Links are to dA pages. I've almost certainly forgotten people, for which I apologise, so if you meet the criteria, feel free to post a link to your story page.

Paltiel. Very good stories, but none yet in 2010.

Prinnydood-Abides. Same as MukatKiKarn.

Ah, this will help me catch up on my reading.

Perhaps something like this could be worked into the wiki?

Well it's going to be a long while before I even get passed the first criteria; I may have my first story finished by next year XD

May I also put forth Kaitheguy1234 for an honourable mention.

Of course, my characters lie in total obscurity.

I'd also put /Fish/ and Pendragon up for honourable mentions.

I expected that my stories wouldn't exactly be noticed, but I'll give you a link ^^;


Right here.

*sigh* Guess I don't matter enough. Oh well.

I foresee this degenerating into a popularity contest in nothing flat.


I propose something similar, but different, and a shitload more time consuming.
Karbo used to have a journal entry for this very purpose, before it spiraled out of control.

What I think should be done is a catalog of every Felarya story ever written, sorted by writer in some archive section of the wiki. It'd be a royal pain, but if you get more than one person working on it, it could be finished in a week.

I agree with Gregole!

There could be some potential for tension about some popularity contest, and that never is a good thing.

Hmm, let's see:

AndurilWielder (Mara, Bael, Janev)
Blazbaros (Scala)
Kaiman123 (Kaiten, Sheska)
racemaster7 (Lehem, Lacey)
GiantessFanX

I see Kaiman123 was already mentioned. Sheska's bio was posted this year.

That would be ideal. But, indeed, a massive workload.

I had the idea, a while back, of having the wiki's articles (on characters, places, etc...) contain links to pictures and stories on their topic. It's an idea I'd like to put forward again - although that, too, would involve a lot of work, in terms of selection and so on.

Ideally, we could do both. It would certainly be more convenient for people arriving here and uncertain where to find stories.

Perhaps we could start by having a dedicated thread here in which each person posts links to all his/her stories, with a single post per writer? To keep it clutter-free, there would be no posts other than posts containing links to stories.

Just floating ideas.

I suppose it all depends on how "c) to have received some recognition from the Felarya community." is handled. I think this thread could serve a purpose even if that requirement was entirely removed.

The wiki might be a good place for it, probably better than the forum. The major problem is simply locating every single Felarya story ever written. I mean, where to even begin?

Frenchsnack! So I'm an outcast huh?! What'd I do to deserve this?! I've got as much right to be on that list as anybody else! Back me up Aisu!






Okay sorry I just had to do that, lol. If you played Mario and Luigi Bowser's Inside Story you should recognize that. *ahem* In all seriousness I think it's just going to turn into a popularity contest and possibly force some horrible Felarya stories.

I think that sounds like an excellent idea. We'd have to spread word around the community to make sure all writers do it, but it would probably work.

We could also open another thread for submission of links to new stories, or stories that've been missed, so as to keep it up to date.

You mean I'd have to dig all the stories I want to be here?

Thanks; I've started the thread here.

Indeed; good thinking. Perhaps this thread itself could be used, but I suppose, for the sake of clarity it's better to have a separate thread, yes.

What about stories that aren't posted on DA, but rather written here?

Also, Pendragon, you deserve to be among the actives. All of you who ignored him, you all suck.

Sean Okotami wrote:

You can post links to those as well.

There are numerous authors who were overlooked. I'd refrain from telling people they suck because they don't know every active writer.

Those can be added, of course. Any story at all.

Indeed. The new thread will hopefully be a comprehensive reference point listing all writers.

Hey French, can you critique the rest of my stories soon?

I'm trying to get around to finishing my "Sphynx's Gauntlet" story, but recent tragedies have made it hard for me to do anything.

Uhm... I don't know about "soon", but yes, when I find time.

If you don't hear from me in a week or so, send me a PM to remind me.

Wow, two recommendations? I'm honored^^ In all seriousness though, that writers thread sounds like a VERY good idea. Will help people be more organized all around.

I have a question about stories.

Would comics count, since they do technically tell stories and require some degree of writing?

Yes, why not... As long as they form a series, rather than a single page.
