I originally posted this on Technique Forum but realised perhaps it should be here.

I was thinking there are certain things that come up in WW time and time again for example POV and Voice and I was wondering if there could be somewhere on the site where these ideas are briefly listed, perhaps with explanations by the experts. I know it always comes up in crits but it seems to me that it would save endless repetition and definitions and misunderstanding for some of the basic terms and ideas to be listed in a separate area and then these can be referred to by critters for beginners (check out page blah on POV for example), dipped into by those visiting the site and be easily found (because you can't easily look up things in the forums).

It strikes me that there are certain areas the forums aren't ideal for. I keep visiting the exercises forum with interest and there's very rarely anything on it. Wouldn't another page on the site for some standard exercises to help with certain problems (you know finding your character, automatic writing, POV switches etc) be helpful?

What do people think about this?

It could be done in the Fiction Seminar, it is meant to deal with those tricky problems that don't involve downloading complete work. Why don't you ask?

Hi Kat, can you explain to me what the fiction seminar is? I was thinking an open resource would be useful for everyone, would the fiction seminar accomodate this?
