The Writer's Forum is one of the forums with the longest lineage in AH.com history. It has existed, with virtually little to no name changes, since the days of the [[Old Board]]. Over more than a decade (and pushing nearly fourteen to fifteen years now, by extension), it has produced an enormous mount of varied original fiction, created by the board's many talented authors. | The Writer's Forum is one of the forums with the longest lineage in AH.com history.

On the [[New Board]], the forum has a bit of a reputation for being one of the least frequented, as it gets relatively small traffic compared to the other forums (even other lower-traffic forums, such as [[Books and Media forum]] and [[Maps and Graphics forum]]. This fact [[running jokes|tends to be remarked upon from time to time]], though it's affectionate, rather than dismissive. Many people also enjoy the more laid-back and "quiet teahouse" nature of the Writer's Forum. | On the [[New Board]], the forum has a bit of a reputation for being one of the least frequented, as it gets relatively small traffic compared to the other forums (even other lower-traffic forums, such as [[Books and Media forum]] and [[Maps and Graphics forum]].
