Okay, first things first. Since folks seem to be leaning toward a subforum, I'm perfectly willing to set one up. I suggest the following organization:
* General -- discussion area. Where the nitpicky details are hammered out
* Gazetteer/Encyclopedia: for timelines, histories, bios, tech descriptions, etc. Glossary goes here, pinned to forum top.
* Ships Registry -- ship descriptions and only ship descriptions.
* Stories and Vignettes
* Story commentary
(I'm probably going to nuke TK1940 while I'm at it, since it seems to have died the great death.)
Are we settled on "Fenspace" or something like that for the name of this project? I'd just like to know what to title the subarea.
Once I create the forum, I recommend folks scavenge this thread and repost their contributions in the appropriate places, creating new threads as necessary. I'll leave the organization up to you guys, whether it's all one big thread or split out. I just have one request -- when you do so, please empty the original message and leave a "moved to new forum" note in it; that way, I'll know when to delete the original thread.
Second, a quibble on terminology. For the various groups within Fenspace, people have been repeatedly saying "fractions". I think the word you're all looking for is factions. You might want to make that correction during the transfer over.
Finally, my own contribution, pending its transfer to the new forum. Inspired by the recent move the Avins-Pinkham household made to West Virginia, I present to you:
