This is probably about 5 years too late at this point, but it's no secret that the main Fanfics forum has been completely overshadowed by the Fanfics Discussion sub-forum. To quote some points from a discussion:
Them being in the same section hurts the Fanfics poster and hinders people from both posting and reading actual fanfics.With the fanfic discussion subforum you like, follow mcas and dmcas anyway, so if someone posts a question in the womb (i always thought it was named very creepily btw) or in guess a servant or a relatively low effort CaS sheet you're still going to be able to keep on top of the main things most people follow
meanwhile if a huge fanfic update hits and gets immediately drowned out by that shit it's like, yeah, have a huge arbitrary visibility cut to your fic right away, thus hindering its momentumJust want to know if this is feasible or justifiable.Like in general, our story update being drowned by other threads aren't fun. Speaking as a Quest writer that must compete with other Quest writers in hope to get the attention we want.
