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 -- one that didn't automagically carbon-copy to just
plain .castle.

Again! This is not to say that I don't like stories -- I enjoy them
immensely. It's just that I like MOCs too, and the stories and their
responses tend to be so prolific that the poor MOCs are drowned in the flood.

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 (...) (25 years ago, 21-Mar-02, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.admin.general)

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