I would like to belong to a community of storytellers and poets within TFP.

We have the Tilted Literature forum but like you say it's been pretty inactive maybe because it doesn't feel like a home or a village.
If we could create a community of people who want to post their original writes in a forum I think we could get more participation. This idea might be a way to build new friendships among like minded people.

I know we have the new Social Groups but I am not sure if they are the answer to my idea.
Maybe I could start a new social group for storytellers and poets and we could link to our posts in Tilted Literature.
I am willing to try something new here but I could use some guidance and any additional ideas anybody may have before I put the effort to it.

This is a good idea. I'll have to refer it to someone who's alot better at coding and understand just how groups and all work within this place so we can give you bit of feedback on how/what is possible.

Members could post a picture of their finished project, maybe tell how they did it, even include a weblink to a specific project or general hobby. Basically, anything you do/make after a trip to a craft store, home improvement store, or hobby store.

Example of some things I do:
make soaps from lye, water, and oils
make lotions/creams from scratch (oils, water, e~wax, other ingredients)
home improvement projects (floor tiling, countertop tiling, painting, drywalling, cabinet installing, built a wall, linoleum flooring, plumbing)
wood furniture stripping and restaining

Other people might:
make jewelry
crochet/knit
woodworking (making from scratch: cabinets/furniture/toys/etc)
scrapbooking
home improvement projects (tile, paint, stain, repair?, masonry, install new window)
landscape
toy/model train scenes
candlemaking
papercrafts
floral arrangements
holiday crafts
model train/car/airplane/ship/dinosuar

You get the picture. Members could post before/after pics if appropriate, or just an after pic if it is a creation from scratch.
I think most of these show up, if at all, in journals right now.

Just a thought.

I think as of right now, all of this type of thing goes into 'Tilted Knowledge-HowTo' That's not saying there isn't room for this here, but it may end up staying where it's at. I have no problem with the format you posted.

Also, I'd like to point out that if you miss the challenges, feel free to revive them! There is nothing stopping you from stepping up to the plate and laying out the challenge for other members. Challenge them to a writing duel, poetry duel, drawing duel, photography duel. Challenge them in form, function and layout. Pull out your creative side and let's see it! You don't have to wait for us to make all the changes.. use the tools you have now
