I'll have none of those sorrys from you espritnoir! You posted a few chapters back to back, which is FINE, and double posts happen, no big!
This thread isn't aimed at you at all!! At least, I don't think so!!

Whoa... Good etiquette...
I have a related question, kinda...
What exactly does FILK mean? I've been assuming it means some parody lyrics
or song lyrics related specifically to the 'Verse / FF / BDM...
Yay or nay? Cuz I've seen a lot of "poetry" and writing that is...
well, basically, personally-related stuff. Not about the 'Verse per se but about the
author's own 'Verse.
Can there be a separate section for posting anyone's non-FF/BDM-related stuff?
Not saying the non-FF/BDM stuff is bad, just saying it's not FF/BDM-related
and I'm not generally expecting to see that sorta thing in the FILK section
if the FILK section is for FF/BDM-related stuff is all...
And speaking of FILKs [shameless plug coming]...
Check out my FILK of Paul Simon's
"Still Crazy After All These Years" titled (what else)
"Still Shiny After All These Years"...

Ditto Mal4Prez. No need to aplogize espritnoir! Double posts happened, and three chapters is not really flooding. Now, had you posted seven hundred...
I'll say one more time, this thread was not aimed at anyone in particular. And, I appreactiate everyone's responses.
As for FILKs -- I have no clue. I don't venture into filk territory often.

On Filk
Quote:
filk is folk music, usually with a science fiction or fantasy theme. But this definition is not exact. Filkers can also write filk songs about a wide variety of topics. Examples include computers and cats. The other common definition is anthropological (and recursive): Filking is what is sung/performed by the network of people who originally gathered to sing at science fiction/fantasy conventions. Yet another definition focuses on filking as a community of those interested in filk music and who form part of the social network self-identified with filking. As described later in this article, the origins of filk in science fiction conventions and its current organization emphasizes the social-network aspect of filking. -Wikipedia
It's most commonly taken as Songs based on a fandom
There's a bit of non verse poetry and such which has come in and while it technically doesn't count there isn't a section for it (as far as i'm aware) so it mainly goes in the filk section.

It is good to have a thread mentioning this,
but I can understand that someone is all excited about finishing their fan art or fan fic and has the desire to post it all at the same time....
It might be worth mentioning to those who want their images or stories to stay on the front page longer that things usually move more slowly on weekends.

I actually posted a thread, asking what is considered to be "filk". There is A LOT of personal poetry in the filk section.
I looked it up on google and was under the impression that it's usually a fandom-related parody, sometimes an original song. But a song.
There is a poetry category in the fanfic section, but personal poetry wouldn't really fit there, either. Maybe there should be another section for non-versey things.

I so did that. I'm sorry. I didn't even think. I had 8 stories in a series and just posted them last week.
Is there a way to link chapters? I've read things and am unsure how to keep from loosing things?
Sorry
