I noticed that there were no communities or forums for Abarat on fanfiction.net (there were, but they were all under Clive Barker and were not very active). So, I made my own. The forum can be found here: forum.fanfiction.net/forum/Abarat_Fanfic_Chat/74514/That forum is specifically for Abarat fanfiction discussion. I've put up a Pairing Challenge on it, if anyone's up for it. I also made a community for conventional Abarat fics. Description: A community for Abarat stories that do not include timetravel, alternate universes, crossovers, or other such complete departures from the series AND have storylines (oneshots are allowed, but not poems and other plotless stuff). The community can be found here: www.fanfiction.net/community/Abarat_Conventional_Fics/80917/There is also a forum for the Conventional Fics community which can be found by following the above link and clicking "Community Forum." Most of the people on this forum seem pretty trustworthy, so if you'd like to apply for staff, just tell me. <3 |

Just wanted to pop in and say that I'm Lady Myotismon, the person who commented in the topic, in case you didn't know. I have a wicked idea. I hope someone else decides to try this, too. C'm'on, people!
I'd love to apply as a staff member, but I'm too particular about fanfiction, so I'm going to refrain from doing so. I'm definitely going to keep an eye on the community, though.
Thanks for making this for us!

C'm'on, people! I'd love to apply as a staff member, but I'm too particular about fanfiction, so I'm going to refrain from doing so. I'm definitely going to keep an eye on the community, though. I posted about the standards for the community archive in a post in the community forum. I'm pretty particular about my fanfiction too, but I made that one just to help people weed out all of the non-plot and completely non-canon stories that are not terrible as far as spelling and grammar go. I was thinking about creating another one just for the best of the Abarat fics, but I don't consider myself a very good judge of that, and there really aren't that many of them on the site. I'm actually doing challenges to get more people into the FF scene, and to increase the number of fics on the site. I think there would be more people if they thought the community was more active. It wouldn't be any fun if I wrote my own fic (which I have interesting plans for) in an empty community. :[ Even if you don't apply for staff for the community, you could still apply for the forum. I'd accept you. <3 I'm not too worried about anyone going haywire in such a small fandom. |

I honestly think the "War Between Night and Day:The Begining of the End" had some good ideas to it but sounded a little rushed, if some revamping was done it would be really good . The other two are pretty funny, adds to the cheesyness of the older fan fics I've read, but what would I do without a couple fangirl laughs? |

Hehe, thanks. *blush* I've been meaning to edit them for forever, but I've just never made the time. Thanks again, though. |
