PURPOSE:  This newsgroup is to be available for people who want to post comic-related fiction and discussions about them.  Writers are encouraged to write into existing storylines although it is strongly recommended that they do so in a way that doesn't inconvenience the writer who's storyline you have written into.  This group is *not* intended as a place for posting stories using characters from actual comic books as this would constitute copyright infringement.  RATIONALE:  There exists a thriving alt group called "alt.comics.lnh" which supports this kind of material.  This group is not available on all newsreaders however and there is interest amongst people reading "rec.arts.comics.misc" to create a new group to avoid having people crosspost to that group.  NEWSGROUP CREATION:  Although there is probably sufficient interest in the creation of this newsgroup to warrant holding a vote this spring, it is suspected that a considerable number of people who would be interested in this group are  in fact students who would lose access to the net before such a vote would go ahead.  On the other hand, it is equally true that it would be  ideal if the new group were to come into existence during the summer so that it would be available for students returning in the fall. --  Martin Phipps * "Imitation is aka Deja Dude * the sincerest The CeLiNeFan * form of flattery"  From [email protected] Wed Aug 18 15:51:36 1993 Path: uunet!bounce-back From: [email protected] (Martin Phipps) Newsgroups: news.announce.newgroups,news.groups,rec.arts.comics.misc,alt.comics.lnh Subject: RFD: rec.arts.comics.creative Followup-To: news.groups Date: 18 Aug 1993 13:31:14 -0400 Organization: physics.mcgill.ca Lines: 45 Sender: [email protected] Approved: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> NNTP-Posting-Host: rodan.uu.net Xref: uunet news.announce.newgroups:3956 news.groups:79100 rec.arts.comics.misc:40122 alt.comics.lnh:764  REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION:  of the creation of a newsgroup called "rec.arts.comics.creative".  PURPOSE:  This newsgroup is to be available for people who want to post comic-related fiction and discussions about them.  Writers are encouraged to write into existing storylines although it is strongly recommended that they do so in a way that doesn't inconvenience the writer who's storyline you have written into.  This group is *not* intended as a place for posting stories using current characters from actual comic books as this would constitute  copyright infringement.  RATIONALE:  There exists a thriving alt group called "alt.comics.lnh" which supports this kind of material.  This group is not available on all newsreaders however and there is interest amongst people reading "rec.arts.comics.misc" to create a new group to avoid having people crosspost to that group.  In addition, comic-related fiction is posted on other bulletin boards such as Genie and there's no newsgroup here that caters to those who might want to repost these stories here.  Finally, the existance of a rec group would attract the attention of people who might not be aware of the determination with which comic-related stories are written for net publication.  As long as groups like the Legion of Net.Heroes and JLGenie are restricted to their own spheres of influence, people are not going to go out of their way to track down their stories and they may be missing something that they might actually like and, yes, even contribute to.  NEWSGROUP CREATION:  A request for discussion was submitted back in the spring but when the time came for a call for vote the net was rather silent so this request for discussion has been submitted so that there might be a vote held one month from now. --      Martin Phipps             aka Deja Dude             The CeLiNeFan             Although one shouldn't laugh at one's own humour,                   it is nice to know that somebody is.

PURPOSE:  This newsgroup is to be available for people who want to post comic-related fiction and discussions about them.  Writers are encouraged to write into existing storylines although it is strongly recommended that they do so in a way that doesn't inconvenience the writer who's storyline you have written into.  This group is *not* intended as a place for posting stories using current characters from actual comic books as this would constitute copyright infringement.  RATIONALE:  There exists a thriving alt group called "alt.comics.lnh" which supports this kind of material.  This group is not available on all newsreaders however and there is interest amongst people reading "rec.arts.comics.misc" to create a new group to avoid having people crosspost to that group.  In addition, comic-related fiction is posted on other bulletin boards such as Genie and there's no newsgroup here that caters to those who might want to repost these stories here.  The existance of a mailing list known as Superguy has also come to the attention of people interested in the creation of this group.  This represents yet another group of people who are interested in participating in this newsgroup.  Finally, the existance of a rec group would attract the attention of people who might not be aware of the determination with which comic-related stories are written for net publication.  As long as groups like the Legion of Net.Heroes and JLGenie are restricted to their own spheres of influence, people are not going to go out of their way to track down their stories and they may be missing something that they might actually like and, yes, even contribute to.  NEWSGROUP CREATION:  A call for votes should be posted three weeks from now (May 3rd). Ron Dippold has offered to collect the votes.

(Moderated)  This is a formal Request For Discussion (RFD) for the moderation of the existing world-wide Usenet newsgroup rec.arts.comics.creative. This is not a Call for Votes (CFV); you cannot vote at this time. Procedural details are below.  RATIONALE: rec.arts.comics.creative  The original conception of rec.arts.comics.creative was as a fairly low-traffic, high-signal home for the large variety of comics-related stories and shared universes on the Net.  Moderation was seriously considered in the original group proposal but rejected largely because no one was in a position to moderate the group.  Recently, rec.arts.comics.creative has suffered from a rash of off-topic articles, to the point where upwards of 80% of the group has been noise.  The on-topic traffic for the group is normally a small number of fairly long posts, and thus is easily drowned out by lots of off-topic posts.  Moderation will allow the group to return to its original purpose, as well as allow enforcement of a keyword system.  racc's counterpart in the anime hierarchy, rec.arts.anime.creative, has been moderated since the original creation of the group.  CHARTER: rec.arts.comics.creative  This newsgroup welcomes any form of comics-related original fiction and discussion of the same, including but not limited to stories in the many established shared universes.  Discussion of on-line fiction as a whole is also welcome provided that it is related to the stories on the newsgroup.  If they choose to write in an existing shared universe, writers are strongly encouranged to follow the existing continuity and rules of that universe.  "Comics-related" will be interpreted very broadly, as has been traditional on the newsgroup.  Each posting to rec.arts.comics.creative should include a keyword on the subject line either designating which shared universe the posting refers to or marking the general subject of the post (ADMIN, META, MISC, etc.).  If a submitted post does not have a keyword, the moderator will add an appropriate keyword, but posters are encouraged to add keywords themselves to save moderation work.  Large binaries, such as artwork, will not be allowed on the newsgroup. Instead, binaries can be made available in the newsgroup archive (subject to the discretion of the archivist) and a pointer posted to the newsgroup.  Pointers to Web pages are also welcome, provided the content of the page is related to the purpose of the group.  Stories using copyrighted or trademarked characters are explicitly not within the charter of this group and may be rejected unless the author owns the copyrights and trademarks or has written permission from the owner.  Networking posts (artists seeking writers or writers seeking artists) are inappropriate in this group and should be sent to appropriate mailing lists or other groups in the rec.arts.comics.* hierarchy (rec.arts.comics.misc if there is no other more appropriate group).  END CHARTER.  MODERATOR INFO: rec.arts.comics.creative  Moderator: Russ Allbery <[email protected]>  Russ (Eagle) is the current archivist of rec.arts.comics.creative, author of Perspectives, Birds Fly, Drifter, and other stories, and co-founder of the Crossroads shared writing universe.  Moderator: Chris Gumprich <[email protected]>  Chris is a long-time Net.Trenchcoat.Brigade writer and FAQ keeper, an occasional LNH writer, the founder of the ESP writing universe, and the author of a broad range of stories from R.E.J.E.C.T.S. '95 to Voyd and Dark Secrets.  Moderator: Mike Friedman <[email protected]>  Mike is a co-founder of the Crossroads shared writing universe and the author of the LNH series Spite Grrrl and the Crossroads series Arvie the Wonderdog, among many other things.  He is also the coordinator of one of RACC's semi-regular review columns.  Moderator: Patricia Wright <[email protected]>  Patricia is a long-time reader of first alt.comics.lnh and now rec.arts.comics.creative, a long-time LNH writer, and the author of the Vulcana series of stories.  END MODERATOR INFO.  PROCEDURE:  This is a request for discussion, not a call for votes.  In this phase of the process, any potential problems with the proposed newsgroups should be raised and resolved.  The discussion period will continue for a minimum of 21 days (starting from when the first RFD for this proposal is posted to news.announce.newgroups), after which a Call For Votes (CFV) may be posted by a neutral vote taker if the discussion warrants it.  Please do not attempt to vote until this happens.  All discussion of this proposal should be posted to news.groups.  This RFD attempts to comply fully with the Usenet newsgroup creation guidelines outlined in "How to Create a New Usenet Newsgroup" and "How to Format and Submit a New Group Proposal".  Please refer to these documents (available in news.announce.newgroups) if you have any questions about the process.

Moderation will allow the group to return to its original purpose, as well as allow enforcement of a keyword system.  racc's counterpart in the anime hierarchy, rec.arts.anime.creative, has been moderated since the original creation of the group.  CHARTER: rec.arts.comics.creative  This newsgroup welcomes any form of comics-related original fiction and discussion of the same, including but not limited to stories in the many established shared universes.  Discussion of on-line fiction as a whole is also welcome provided that it is related to the stories on the newsgroup.  If they choose to write in an existing shared universe, writers are strongly encouranged to follow the existing continuity and rules of that universe.  "Comics-related" will be interpreted very broadly, as has been traditional on the newsgroup.  Each posting to rec.arts.comics.creative should include a keyword on the subject line either designating which shared universe the posting refers to or marking the general subject of the post (ADMIN, META, MISC, etc.).  If a submitted post does not have a keyword, the moderator will add an appropriate keyword, but posters are encouraged to add keywords themselves to save moderation work.  Large binaries, such as artwork, will not be allowed on the newsgroup. Instead, binaries can be made available in the newsgroup archive (subject to the discretion of the archivist) and a pointer posted to the newsgroup.  Pointers to Web pages are also welcome, provided the content of the page is related to the purpose of the group.  Stories using copyrighted or trademarked characters are explicitly not within the charter of this group and may be rejected unless the author owns the copyrights and trademarks or has written permission from the owner.  Networking posts (artists seeking writers or writers seeking artists) are inappropriate in this group and should be sent to appropriate mailing lists or other groups in the rec.arts.comics.* hierarchy (rec.arts.comics.misc if there is no other more appropriate group).

HOW TO VOTE:  Follow these instructions *exactly*!  Votes are counted by computer. You should send E-MAIL (posts to a newsgroup are invalid) to:      [email protected]  Please do not assume that just replying to this message will work. Check the address before you mail your vote.  Your mail message should contain one and only one of the following vote statements:      I vote YES on moderating rec.arts.comics.creative     I vote NO on moderating rec.arts.comics.creative      Voter name:  If your mail software does not indicate your real name (for example, AOL and Delphi do not), include _exactly_ the statement above on a _separate_ line and add your name after the colon.  Having your name in your signature line is NOT enough!  Do NOT join the lines together or remove the words "Voter name"!  You may also vote ABSTAIN (which does exactly that) or CANCEL (which removes any earlier votes).  ABSTAIN does not affect the final vote count in any way but is listed, whereas CANCEL is not.  IMPORTANT VOTING PROCEDURE NOTES:  Standard Guidelines for voting apply.  One account per person and one vote per person.  Votes must be mailed directly from the voter to the votetaker. Anonymous, forwarded or proxy votes are not valid.  Votes mailed by WWW/HTML/CGI forms are considered to be anonymous votes.  Vote counting is automated.  Failure to follow these directions may mean that your vote does not get counted.  If you do not receive an acknowledgment of your vote within three days contact the votetaker about the problem.  It's your responsibility to make sure your vote is registered correctly.  Duplicate votes are resolved in favor of the most recent valid vote.  Addresses and votes of all voters will be published in the final voting results post.  The purpose of a Usenet vote is to determine the genuine interest of persons who would read a proposed newsgroup.  Soliciting votes from disinterested parties defeats this purpose.  Please do not distribute this CFV.  If you must, direct people to the official CFV as posted to news.announce.newgroups.  Distributing pre-marked or otherwise edited copies of this CFV is generally considered to be vote fraud. When in doubt, ask the votetaker.  --  Jani Patokallio <[email protected]> Voting address: <[email protected]>  From [email protected] Fri Nov 22 10:24:35 1996 Path: uunet!bounce-back From: Jani Patokallio <[email protected]> Newsgroups: news.announce.newgroups,news.groups,rec.arts.anime.creative,rec.arts.comics.creative,rec.arts.comics.info Subject: 2nd CFV: moderate rec.arts.comics.creative Supersedes: <[email protected]> Followup-To: poster Date: 22 Nov 1996 15:24:33 -0000 Organization: Usenet Volunteer Votetakers Lines: 132 Sender: [email protected] Approved: [email protected] Expires: 4 Dec 1996 00:00:00 GMT Message-ID: <[email protected]> Reply-To: [email protected] NNTP-Posting-Host: rodan.uu.net Archive-Name: rec.arts.comics.creative Xref: uunet news.announce.newgroups:9379 news.groups:240074 rec.arts.anime.creative:822 rec.arts.comics.creative:7954 rec.arts.comics.info:5814                        LAST CALL FOR VOTES (of 2)  moderated group rec.arts.comics.creative (moderates existing group)  Newsgroups line: rec.arts.comics.creative	Comics-related original creative writing.
