Recently there have been several conversations going on about Triond. Initially, there were a few random emails and a lot of us are just catching bits and pieces on the edge of the conversations. As a result, I think a lot of Triond writers were rather baffled by the whole thing. With several Triond writers at our house, we had various levels of confusion and I found that one of us would get a message about something and the others would not. It has been rather chaotic.
To try to get everyone together, someone opened a chat room at Chatzy (http://www.chatzy.com/328797960464). Unfortunately chat rooms work best when you have several people there at once, and with people from around the world writing for Triond, it is often difficult for people to find a time to log in and find people on-line to talk to. The other problem with chat rooms is that they do not organize the messages very well.
The solution seems to be a forum, so I have created new public forum for Triond at “http://www.writerforums.thebentleys.ca/forum/triond”. This forum is not officially linked to Triond in any way and they are in no way responsible for it (or visa versa). This forum will provide a place for authors to discuss issues related to writing for Triond including help, concerns and even a place to talk about ways to improve Triond. Please keep in mind that since this is not a Triond site, they may or may not listen to suggestions (but it would also be in their best interests to listen).
The only rules are of course the standard ones:
- no profanity
- keep it constructive
- no personal attacks, slander, etc
Basically, keep it polite and constructive. You don’t have to like Triond (although why would you write for them if you didn’t), just be nice about it.
So, feel free to drop by, ask questions or comment on someone else’s questions. Hopefully we can all help each other out.
