There are any number of things to talk about, both related to my books or not, so if there is a topic for a certain character, race, or subject you'd like to see but want to check with me first, or any other forum suggestions, you can make them here!
Otherwise, feel free to start new threads in their appropriate categories!

I noticed that the Reader's Corner folder or thread or whatever they're called doesn't have any subjects yet. SO... Do you all think we should have just one general thread? Or maybe different genres such as fantasy, historical fiction, etc... I wanted to get some discussion on other books going, but wasn't sure how we wanted to organize the categories.

You can start the threads on different books, and if there gets to be a lot, I can move them into genre categories later.

I was wondering... are you planning to have a section for Audio Dramas? I realize there's not very many of them, and few people listen to them, so if you don't want to put a section for them up, that's perfectly fine!

Yes! An audio drama section would be awesome. Adventures in Odyssey, Johnny Dollar, George Valentine, Superman... (Mostly Adventures in Odyssey...)

I see we have Great Hall, Jaye's Works, Library, Art Gallery, Theater, and Camp. Could we add a Chapel for inspirational, spiritual, and devotional discussions, encouragement, and sharing?

I don't know if this forum setup supports this suggestion, but I'd love to see a link for Recent Posts or Active Topics - a page listing recently-active topics with links to them. That way it's much easier to keep up with what's new without clicking every folder and sub-folder every time. Also, I see we have Great Hall, Jaye's Works, Library, Art Gallery, Theater, and Camp. Could we add a Chapel for inspirational, spiritual, and devotional discussions, encouragement, and sharing? If you go all the way to the bottom of the forum, there is a little (I'm not sure what to call it) ...place... where it shows the most recent post on the forum. (That's how I saw this message.) It's not a whole thread, but it's something.

At the bottom of the main page, there is a "Recent Posts" and "Recent Threads" — I think that's what you're looking for. A Chapel or Serious Discussions would be a nice thing to have around.

Thanks, Katiegrace. Less than a minute after I posted, I found links at the bottom (Recent Threads - Recent Posts - RSS Feed - Mark All Boards Read). The "Recent Threads" link navigates to exactly the page I was describing.

Sure, I can add a Chapel category. Then I can move the Prayer Request thread into it. As for recent posts, there's a "Participated" button under the "Log Out" link near the banner. If there's new posts in a thread I've commented in, it shows "new" and when I click on it, it has a list of threads with new posts. I don't know if that helps.

Okay, I've created the Chapel category and moved the prayer request thread into it. I've also made it so that only members can view the category so that not just anyone passing through can view the prayer requests and such.

Yeah, I use the "Participated" button, and I also check through the other threads every once and a while.
So, Jaye, I was wondering... There's a Roleplaying game called Story Character Chat, where you play your own characters in a sort of "room between the worlds." It's great for character development, not to mention a good conversation starter... But would it belong on the Jorum? And, if so, would it go in the Fireside Chat, or the Writer's Desk?

I love those sorts of threads. Why don't I create a subcategory in the Writer's Desk for Character Development and we can start it in there. Now, quick question, do you all like being able to "like" posts? I'm just wondering since it means a lot of notifications showing up in the profile.

Can we have a category for YouTube series like "Month of the Novel" and the "Lizzy Bennet Diaries" I'm not sure they quite fit under TV series.

I've been thinking about it, and I've realized that I would love to have a chat room. You might be able to put one in-site, or you could create one here: chat.mibbit.com/. Chat rooms are good because they encourage immediate, quick conversations. (And if you want help, I could walk you through the steps of creating a Mibbit chat room).

I was going to ask if everyone wanted a chat box. There is one built in, but it was off when I started the forum. I have now turned it on. You can find it at the bottom of the forum.
