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 medieval architecture and such... The idea of a group
devoted to the stories is a worthy one.
CC'd to .admin.general, just in case people there might want to be aware of
this thread...

| 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...)
