I'll address the issue in which Magnus and Lenny hinted at in other posts:

There have been a *lot* of stories written in the past few months. Without
mentioning names, the "fathers" of picture/non-picture storytelling have
been able to capture the imaginations of many, causing storytelling to
become a hot topic! <-- enthusiastic exclaimation.

As a matter of fact, it seems like every other post in lugnet.castle is
about, or in reply to someone's story.

With that said, I concur that lugnet.castle isn't the best place for story
time. Many enthusiasts just want to see MOC or discuss ways to enhance their
castle themes. Granted, I've seen some really cool MOC in the stories, but
I'd rather not have to read through chapters to get to them.

Do stories need their own subgroup (lugnet.castle.ballads), or perhaps they
should be posted to the CastleWorld subgroup (I know some have done this).

I've found myself spending more time at Brickshelf checking out the MOCs;
because the MOC announcements in lugnet.castle seem to get lost within the
flurry of story-based comments.

Don't get me wrong, I think the stories are outstanding, but it seems like
that is all that lugnet.castle is anymore.

I must say that I agree with you, Kyle. Not to say that I don't enjoy a good story! In fact, I enjoy writing my own! (Although I've been rather slack about that, now haven't I...) I think it would be best if the admins made a castle.ballads as well (...) (22 years ago, 21-Mar-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I'm confused. Isn't that the specific purpose of CastleWorld? If not, we should definitely have such a group. But then would the CW group become essentially an administrative group? I think that lugnet should have a general stories group (...) (22 years ago, 21-Mar-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I'd just like to say that while I have been talking about stories, I do have my own (neglected as it may be). Don't take what I've been saying elsewhere to be anti-story. (...) Personally I see stories as a type of MOC. LEGO castle, especially (...) (22 years ago, 22-Mar-02, to lugnet.castle)
