Fictionize


Hello, thar. Meinos Kaen here!

So, yesterday, I was engaging in a conversation with a few friends about how TFF (The Fanfiction Forums), the den where I formed my trade over the years, is running dry of creative juice. Mostly because the bulk of the forums was the Naruto section, but with the fandom slowly going stale and our only admin closing up registrations and disappearing on us, it's also because of a lack of new blood, and also of being in line with times. New fandoms have been appearing left and right, but the TFF has no sections for them. And again, as I said, no registering. So, the source of much brainstorming and happy memories was going stale, I was losing it. I couldn't allow that to happen. And as such, I've taken a decision.

A couple of my other colleagues have tried it. They couldn't get past the starting stage, eventually gave up. Why? Well, because they could and did only publicize their endeavor in our old forums. They didn't publicize it to other people, to their fans. To you, who are what makes me keep writing. We've always been kind of a little elite, not actively looking for new recruits. I now recognize that was a mistake. That is not going to happen in my Fanfiction Forums.

Yep, that's right. I declare, here and now, that Meinos Kaen is going to open up his own place where everyone can come to read, write and discuss everything, fictional or not. A den where much insanity and I hope inspiration will be born for you future writers. Everyone is invited to join it, no level or genre of writing will be prohibited or frowned upon. I... I'll even... NNNNGH! Yeah, I'll allow Yaoi. It's going to have it's separate section, but it's going to be there.

The name? Well, they're going to be called The Fictionize Forums. Where anything can be turned into fiction... And entertainment. Be it Fanfiction or Original Fiction, you'll have a place where to share and get better at your trade and have some more direct feedback than what you get on Fanfiction.net, from authors old and new. We're going to open up soon, feed this blog if you haven't done it already!

Meinos Kaen out!

  1. There is a forum called spacebattles.com
    So Yaoi is allowed but not Yuri.....What a Shame! :)

    Btw speaking of TFF, Has Case13[FosFor] written more than 6 chapters of Crimson Edge?, there is also a similar story called Renegade, Although I Believe he/she may not have written more than 5 Chapters.

    2. ... What's wrong with Yuri? O.O And yeah, I know about SpaceBattles. I got a certain volume of traffic from that place. Hi, guys!

      But it's not just a matter of jumping boat, it's the matter of doing something new. And no, FosFor never finished Crimson Edge and never wrote more than those six chapter, DAMN IT!

  3. Have you tried going to DLP? Although they're mainly HP fanfiction, they also have sections for other fandoms, along with original fiction, plus they have a ton of other stuff such as mafia games.

    1. I know about DLP, and as you've said, it's mainly HP fanfiction. I don't want to join something already established, I want to create something new, for the future.

  4. To be honest I thought about posting at TFF at one time...but everytime I go there I see nothing but people trolling and counter trolling each other. Even when that doesn't happen the chorus is always
    "THIS SUCKS" whenever something new comes out. So I have no interest in posting because I don't feel like dealing with that.
