Fan fiction is best posted in the main forums like Adventure or General Gaming, or even in Chit Chat.

Why not have a Section just only for Fan Fiction

It wouldn't hold a lot of posts.

Possibly. But this entire messageboard, I think, already has so many categories as it is, the Quantum Dream discussion being the latest addition.
Additionally how often do you see people posting their writing here? Very few. And I don't think it's because there is no designated fan fiction section, either. What I recommend instead is that people post a thread (in Adventure or General Gaming) and give a link to their writing, and we can discuss the work in that thread. Lastly, a whole other forum section devoted exclusively to fan fiction is just more work for us mods, and a huge amount more work for the admins.

Alternatively, you could post your fan fiction in a fan fiction community and keep it out of these forums. Sorry, not a big fan of fanfic or the type of discussions it brings with it, both on-topic and off. I don't really thing the AG forum community would benefit at all from having a fanfic community operating with in it. I think, actually, that it would be a very bad thing.

Sites that have fan fiction take a lot of work. Stories would need to be sorted. You would need to check to make sure there is no plaigerism. Do you allow stories that are rated R and NC-17 (here, probably not). Etc, etc, etc. These sites that specialize in fanfic get inundated with stories and I get the feeling everyone here would rather play games. Besides they have to put up with all of us as it is (the wonderful lot that we are!).

Also, there are a LOT of shitty writers out there.
