New section!

[dellzeqq]

Without wishing to step on Admin's toes, I'd suggest that the difference is in length and preparation. gbb's thread, from a brief perusal, is full of short posts. The new section (as I understand it from discussions with Shaun) is more for feature-length pieces. I wouldn't expect to see a 150 word post dashed off in the length of time it takes to eat half a kit-kat in Tales: equally I wouldn't post a 3500 word epic written in Iambic Pentameter to the Café.

I know a gauntlet when I see one being thrown down!

Maybe gbb's thread could be the short ride 'sticky' in the new section, that way folks would pop in there to post their short rides and maybe be read someone's report and be inspired to write up a longer one too.

Could be talking nonsense of course, I never manage more than sixty words without running out of things to

Well let's see how it goes re: locking etc. and adjust things if we feel it's required.

For now let's see if we can keep it to stories (long or short) as opposed to "chatty" conversational posts - and then use the reply button to add comments about the story.

It's a work in progress, but the aim is for it to be a "space" for creative writing - but with the obvious cycling bent (pun intended ).

I'm not sure I'm doing a very good job of defining it, so ask Sam (Ravenbait) - it was her idea. (She pinned me down and twisted my arm and said she'd give me a nasty Chinese burn if I didn't create it ... so I did )

Cheers,
Shaun

So what sort of length are we talking about? A long time ago I started a thread which a few people added to but as it was in Cafe it sank fast and I felt it deserved to hang around longer, especially Chuffy's contribution. Here it is. Does it fit the bill?

It does, and the three accounts are now added to the Rider's Tales forum.

Thanks,
Shaun

Excellent, cheers Shaun and good idea Sam, I look forward to reading more in this section.
