Demonstration of interest: ========================== Currently, there is one newsgroup devoted to the general-purpose discussion of Hasbro/Kenner/Takara's TRANSFORMERS toy line (and related mythologies), alt.toys.transformers. It is the opinion of many participants and readers of the group that the high level of articles in that newsgroup (up to 200 messages a day) is not conductive to the sharing and discussion of fan-fiction ("fanfic") stories. Many feel that the high bandwidth makes it difficult to find stories to begin with, and to share comments and criticisms of the same. To provide a more hospitable environment for Transformers-related fanfic stories, it is proposed that an alt.toys.transformers.fanfic group be created. This will provide a "quieter" area for members to share their stories and to solicit feedback from them. If alt.toys.transformers.fanfic receives the same propagation as the parent group, then it should enable the readers who are seeking fanfic stories to do so easily.

Demonstration of interest: ========================== Currently, there is one newsgroup devoted to the general-purpose discussion of Hasbro/Kenner/Takara's TRANSFORMERS toy line (and related mythologies), alt.toys.transformers. It is the opinion of many participants and readers of the group that the high level of articles in that newsgroup (up to 200 messages a day) is not conductive to the sharing and discussion of fan-fiction ("fanfic") stories. Many feel that the high bandwidth makes it difficult to find stories to begin with, and to share comments and criticisms of the same. To provide a more hospitable environment for Transformers-related fanfic stories, it is proposed that an alt.toys.transformers.fanfic group be created.
