Some of you may recall this thread of mine.

What I was wondering was how many people would be interested in a community that centers around newer, unknown authors/underappreciated authors?

I'm more than willing to put the time into this as moderator, but there has to be enough interest for me to do so.

What say you?

--P

ETA: I would expand this to include fan artists as well.

Written less than a total of 5,000 words, or 5 non-series pieces (whichever less applies) can be count as "unknown"

Since it's pretty unlikely for a new writer to start an epic, thus the 5,000 words. Where as once a writer starts on drabbles and vigaretts (I couldn't spell I know), they do collect a certain amount of readership, thus the 5-piece.


May I offer a counter-example - I know an author whose first fanfic was over 75.000 words long. That one got over 400 reviews on FF.net, but only 4 or 5 on skyehawke.com.
She's only ever written two fanfics on the whole (the second being around 10.000 words). And all that happened between October 2003 and March 2004.

Would she qualify as new, unknown, and underappreciated?


Sorry I'm being negative, I know you were only trying to help, but it is kinda hard to pin down how to select people.
