Im seeing terminology in various posts and have no idea what they mean (mary sue?), after having searched using the search function I can't see any index or glossary of terms, Is this possible? It would be handy for noobazoids like me, opinions?
Indeed Ruth, but this is a writing site and really there should be a list of the most common for reference, how else could you keep up with what people say in their replies? This is the number 1 site on google for creative writing, I find it strange it does not have one, meh
since it is a site for writers, why would such be needed, when those are, or who want to be such should already be familiar with the standard jargon of the art/industry they want to work in [or not be too lazy to look them up on their own]?... i don't... for the reason given above...
I'm not opposed to the idea per se, it is quite an interesting suggestion, but Ruth Jacobs and mammamia raise good points. Researching is, I think, an integral part of being a writer, and if you find terms you don't understand (not just on this site, but in the course of everyday life too) then you should be looking them up. But like I said, it's an interesting suggestion and merits more consideration. Some issues need to be thought on a bit more, such as which terms to include, and where to put the list.
