sub-review forum

How about a forum in which stories can be discussed in depth; not in the form of a criticism, but by dissecting the story’s motifs, themes, metaphors, symbolisms, et cetera. I think such a thing would be fairly philosophical, and it’ll add some more diversity to the forum.

A literature forum was tried a while back, but it died on the vine due to lack of interest.

But, like anything else, I imagine that if a critical mass were to be reached by having a series of sustainable threads on that topic, I am sure that the Powers That Be could be convinced.

Granted, that is just personal conjecture and not as a mod.

We’ve already got the Philosophy forum, the Creative Writing forum and the Review forum. As Xunzian said, we’ve tabled the idea several times for a dedicated Lit. forum but it’s never gotten off the ground due to a lack of interest. I don’t really see what the new forum would offer that existing forums don’t already provide, but if you’ve got any suggestions then by all means let’s hear them.
