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 (...) (23 years ago, 21-Mar-02, to lugnet.castle)

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 (...) (23 years ago, 21-Mar-02, to lugnet.castle)

I third the motion for a .castle.ballads subgroup. I love the stories, when I have time for them, and someday I will hopefully post my own. But most often I check out the root .castle just to get MOC ideas, share my own, and perhaps discuss (...) (23 years ago, 21-Mar-02, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.admin.general)

(...) 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 (...) (23 years ago, 21-Mar-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Well, it's not that I dislike stories. Far from it. It's merely that in the Lego world it tends to be that a creation inspires a relating story. Hence, I might build X, and create a backstory to enhance it. That's great; I'm all for it. But (...) (23 years ago, 22-Mar-02, to lugnet.castle)

I'm not anti-story by any means. And quelching creativity is the last thing I'd ever want to do! From casual observation it appeared that the growing amount of stories might warrant a new group. For example, the growing amount of MECHA in (...) (23 years ago, 22-Mar-02, to lugnet.castle)
