| 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.

| Unlike the more strictly alternate history and [[alternate history:timeline]]-writing focused [['Before 1900' forum]] or [['After 1900' forum]], the Writer's Forum offers AH.com members the option to focus on stories outside of the alternate history genre. Therefore, the forum contains many a piece of historical fiction, science fiction, fantasy fiction, adventure fiction, and so on, and so on... (The [[Future History forum]] and [[asb forum|Alien Space Bats forum]] also allow for science-fictional or magical/implausible works of various lenghth.) | Unlike the more strictly alternate history and [[alternate history:timeline]]-writing focused [['Before 1900' forum]] or [['After 1900' forum]], the Writer's Forum offers AH.com members the option to focus on [[stories:stories|stories]] not only within, but also outside of the alternate history genre.

| 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]].

Also, some of the writing-based discussions previously occuring in the Non-political Chat forum have been moved to the Writer's Forum, increasing the number of its regular visitors. |
