==Why doesn't fanfiction have a genre lounge?== | ==Why doesn't fanfiction have a genre lounge?== | ||
Because fanfiction isn't a genre. The genre of a fanfiction piece is generally considered to be the genre of the original work. Someone usually starts a fanfiction thread in the Other Genres forum early in October, and it's a popular thread. You can also check out the [[Fans and Critics]] forum to talk about the original work. | Because fanfiction isn't a genre.

==Why doesn't [insert genre here] have a genre lounge? Can a genre lounge be created?== | |||
New [[Genre Lounge|genre lounges]] are created infrequently and only with very high demand. This isn't because creating a forum is difficult but to prevent forum clutter and confusion. For now, check out the Other Genres forum. Lots of popular genres that currently fall into that category have threads. If you're writing in a subgenre of a major genre, there may be a thread for that subgenre in the main genre lounge (for example, steampunk in the fantasy lounge). | |||

If you are not starting a new project, you're writing non-fiction, or what you are doing isn't a novel (interconnected short stories are allowed), then yes, you are a rebel. But hey, that's okay! We accept you rebels, and you even have your own forum, so it's all good. | If you are not starting a new project, you're writing non-fiction, or what you are doing isn't a novel (interconnected short stories are allowed), then yes, you are a rebel.

==Can I block or ignore a user?== | |||
You can't block a user throughout the entire forum, but you can block a user to avoid receiving [[NaNoMail]] from them after receiving a message. Just open the message and click "Block NaNoMail from this user" next to the sender's name. Be warned: '''it is difficult to reverse this action, so do so only if you're really sure'''. | |||
