Announce: New Fiction Writing Wiki (hopefully)
(crossposted to 
sfwriters, sfandf_writers (some communities pending moderator approval) and my personal journal 
blackfeather and personal writing journal, writers_journey; my apologies to those who see it multiple times. If need be I can create an LJ community for updates on the wiki.) Also posted to sff.workshop.critters Usenet newsgroup. If there's some interest shown here, it might help convince the staff of wikicities to host this wiki. (And convince me to continue with the project).
I've just proposed to Wikicitites the creation of a Fiction Writing wiki.
I'd like to see a wiki as a repository of articles on writing fiction. I see it as mostly focused on the craft, but with possible articles on marketing advice and on the writing lifestyle.
My wikicities proposal follows:
Description of wiki:
This wiki is for sharing all aspects of fiction writing, especially the craft of writing fiction. Marketing techniques and the lifestyle of writing may also be covered, but they are not the focus of the wiki. All prose lengths are included, from flash fiction to novels. All genres and literary writing are welcome. The wiki is not meant for publication of full works of fiction, rather see the fiction wiki. It is also not a venue for critique of your work, although pages on where you can share your work for critique are welcome.
Additional Information:
I'm a new fantasy, science fiction and horror ("speculative fiction") writer, and I'd like to share some of what I've learned, and even more like to hear what others have learned.
This wiki is intended to supplement and complement the above listed communities, not compete with them, or with any of the many excellent writing web sites out there, such as Holly Lisle.
Please feel free to cross-post this to any open fora, (not duplicating the ones above), but if you do, please let me know.
For this project to work, I will need help.
The proposal has just been submitted, so I am not promised a reply before a week has passed. In the mean time, I'd like to see who would like to actively participate in the wiki. I will certainly help in whatever way I can.
Thank you, all!
