Separate "Stories" Into "True" and "Fiction"?

[BellyWorship]

How about separating the Stories section into True Stories and Fictional Stories?

Fiction can get a little too over the top sometimes, but true stories and be inspirational.

There isn't any True Stories in there right now, therefore there is no point.

My point was that I would like to see more true stories. I suggested it because it's a missing element that might be fun.

well people would post stories that they made up in the 'true' section just to say they did something amazing when 'most' people here havent done anything with anyone related to gaining yet, including me XPPP

True.
Also, just because a section is specifically setup for that purpose doesn't mean its going to actually be used. We've also had a history of certain members who do have these true stories for it to be obviously complete bullshit.

So No.

Well, I thought the journals were for "true stories", but I guess in a way, they may not be :3 I think it'd be helpful to have two story sections, so people who like reading fiction (like anime or game related stories) could do that and people who prefer non-fiction stories could easily find those ^_^ Even though not too many people may use it, I'm sure there's plenty who would appreciate it.

There's basically one "true story"

Maybe a better separation would be "fantasy gaining" stories and "realisitic fiction"

fantasy gaining = fast and/or huge gains, really weird situations, anachronism, stuff that could never really exist.

realistic fiction = gradual gaining to believable proportions, modern-times or historically-accurate historic stories

[FatMike]

Now thats a better phrased idea.
I loathe fantasy gaining stories, so thats not a bad idea.. but theres a lot of stories to sort still, and I'm not sure if we are really up to it, unless someone is willing to go through them.. :p

I agree, there should be a true section, a realistic fiction section, and a fantasy section.

[boredchubbyboy]

I agree, it would be good to hear some true stories

The problem with this is, that the true section would be close to empty, and the other two sections contain the rest of the stories.

Or the true section would be full of fake stories (a certain member used to post a lot of these).

Then, I'd suggest realistic and fiction being the only sections,with "true" stories being marked as such at the beginning.

Sounds ideal. We will consider it, though keep in mind it is time consuming to go through all the old stories and mark them in this sort of way.

I'd volunteer to read and categorize a bunch of them. just PM me the names of some and I'll read and tell you :P
