Charter for ALT.TOYS.TRANSFORMERS.FANFIC
Read if you are new to the group
*************************************************************************
Charter:
========
alt.toys.transformers fanfic is for the sharing, discussion, and critique
of
Transformers fan-fiction, that is, fan-written stories regarding the toys
and characters of Hasbro/Kenner/Takara's TRANSFORMERS toy lines.
Demonstration of interest:
==========================
Currently, there is one newsgroup devoted to the general-purpose
discussion of
Hasbro/Kenner/Takara's TRANSFORMERS toy line (and related mythologies),
alt.toys.transformers. It is the opinion of many participants and readers
of
the group that the high level of articles in that newsgroup (up to 200
messages a day) is not conductive to the sharing and discussion of
fan-fiction
("fanfic") stories. Many feel that the high bandwidth makes it difficult
to
find stories to begin with, and to share comments and criticisms of the
same.
To provide a more hospitable environment for Transformers-related fanfic
stories, it is proposed that an alt.toys.transformers.fanfic group be
created.
This will provide a "quieter" area for members to share their stories and
to
solicit feedback from them. If alt.toys.transformers.fanfic receives the
same
propagation as the parent group, then it should enable the readers who are
seeking fanfic stories to do so easily.
