"Ever since I had my realization about the lack of respect most fanfiction authors receive, I’ve wanted to create a consortium, a gathering of those who are tremendous writers and those who have the potential to be tremendous writers. A group of like-minded individuals who could stand together, communicate, and support one another."
-Jade Ring, Founder of The Nexus



What We Are


Imagine it; authors of romance, comedy, horror, sad, and even clop stories working together to spread their wealth of knowledge. Educating authors with less experience and helping them become the next generation of excellent writers, helping the ones that have already established themselves as "good" to become better.

This is what we are, and this is where you come in.

Once you become a member of the Nexus, you accept the responsibility of spreading the message of fanfiction far and wide. You will seek out those with great potential both in the Nexus and outside of it. You will teach them and guide them. You will use your influence to draw attention to those who deserve it. You will work with your new brothers and sisters to further develop not just your own skills, but their skills as well.

Those of you who wish to join will be invited based on your response to this initial message...

So the question must be asked. Will you guide? Will you collaborate? Will you learn?

Will you write?



The Nexus FAQ


1. The Nexus is not a secret organization. We are quite the opposite. Feel free to flaunt your status. Promote this group is you wish.One hopes that eventually we become recognized to the point where writers seek us out for various purposes.

2. Can anyone be a member of the Nexus? Yes and no. If you are chose, it ha been based on a set of parameters; number of published works, frequency of being on the site, quality of writing, etc. Anyone you may wish to invite into the Nexus must be affirmed by at least five of your brothers and sisters. If you wish to nominate a Potential, you will do so in the group’s message board.

3. A major part of the Nexus will be the sharing of story ideas. If you have a story idea but doubt your ability to write it, tell your brothers and sisters. Amongst us, I’m sure that you can find a co-writer or someone who simply wants to tell that story (with full credit given, of course.)

4. All Nexus Members will have their own folder in the Group. It is up to you, however, to decide which stories to add. There will also be a folder for recommended works.

5. Depending on how many initial members there are, a separate profile just for collaborations may be created. More on that as it develops.
So there you have it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them. I hope to hear from you soon.

We are one,
Jade Ring

Man, ain't we all being formal all the time? I'm gonna dissapoint so many people in here, I just know.

Still! Nice thead here! Must have taken quite the work, man. As per the suggestions, the best way to start the group is to start it, right? I suggest stuff like How To Write Fluttershy, or Taking Criticism: How To Properly Insult That Asshole. Stuff like that!

4508912 Hmm, that sounds good. Maybe add a 'Writing Lectures' thread?

Hmm. Too general, I believe. If we had a way to create subforums, one named "Lectures" or "Writing Stuff" would be good, but seeing how Fimfic groups work, I say we just create new topics with the specific thing we want to talk about. Otherwise, it's a thread where you can post anything but eventually talk about nothing.

I have little idea as to how the threads here work, but I do have a suggestion. I think there should be one called "Proofreaders at the Ready" where people can enlist the help of other members to, well, proofread their stories. That being one of the things I feel I can help with.

Another one could be called "Writer's Block" with a self explanatory purpose. To help those stuck in a rut (Quite, literally if they're writing clop.)

Sorry for the late reply, I'll probably use both of your ideas.
