Well, the art forum doesn't specifically mention anything about writing, therefore people would most likely assume that the board is for visual rather than literary art.

Maybe but it does say all other forms of art. We cannot lead everyone by the hand all the time. Sometimes people need to figure things out for themselves.

It's better to assume that it IS indeed a forum for visual arts than it is to risk being chewed out for being a forum noob.

Edit: And by your logic, music should be part of the art forum since music is also an art form.

I trust nobody will flame over this discussion... :Titan:

The forum layout is just fine the way it is.

As I said before, new members won't post writing related topics for fear of being flamed.

I don't see the point einherjar. If people fear about posting writtings because they could get flamed, then so be it. As far as the logic goes, it's exactly the same for images or music.

Writing can very well be put in the Art section. No need to change it. In my opinion we shouldn't make to many subforums for art-related stuff here because frankly...we are an abandonware site and not an art community!

We got the art section because a lot of people here like to share their art, be it visual, musical, literal. So you can put it in the 'Arts' section.

Then explain why there's a music forum. Music is an art.

We can merge the two if it would ease your mind
