 * I like this idea... No, love it and will probably increce our userbase. I'd try the Ascalon Archives as a name though, as not everyone is as devout in following Lyssa as you RT | Talk  06:02, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Blasphemy, for Lyssa is the greatest of deities. I fully support this idea Zulu Inuoe 06:04, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Hmm... This is very interesting. I think you got the pro's and con's dead on... can't come up with any more to add to that yet.  I don't mind the name Lyssian Archives, but RT may have a point.  And it could be mixed up with Lions Arch :P.  Maybe we could all come up with different ideas for naming conventions.  I know when you mention the split off to separate namespaces, PvX is included in that.  What else falls into that category?  Perhaps this could bring me back into my old fanfic days, when I used to write Diablo 2 stories :D -- [[Image:Isk8.png]] Sk8  (T / C)  06:08, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't mind the name either, I just think that some newer players might RT | Talk  06:15, 18 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Isk8: I'm thinking just one single new namespace for all the creative stuff. We can use categories to sub-divide them.  As for existing namespaces, those in active usage include the project namespace ("GuildWiki:") and the Template namespace.  Our "Help:" namespace isn't really used much. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 06:24, 18 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Rational for Lyssa: she's the diety for creativity and inspiration. Ascalon is pretty random, and would confuse new users who only bought Nightfall d-:  -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 06:19, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Lyssan archives sounds just as confusing, would have to add disclaimers about content and explanations, why not something simple like Fan Fiction namespace?-- 07:07, 18 April 2008 (UTC)


 * "The reason why it's proposed to be named after Lyssa is because she is the goddess for inspiration and creativity." Although Fan Fiction might work, I suppose... --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage 07:10, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I understood that, it was confusing to me until I actually read this, a random article in this namespace on RC would be even more confusing.--[[Image:AlariSig.png]] 07:12, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * My personal opinion is that calling the namespace "Fan Fiction" is 1. boring and 2. potentially limiting on a subconscious level for the creative mind. One can argue all Guild Wars related creative writing is fan fiction, on the other hand, when one say "fan fiction", some people think of only the narrative story subset of creative writing, and not parodies or skills.  Of course, I am super biased when our Mistress Lyssa is involved.-User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 07:31, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * You like Lyssa too much. What do you think she is, some sort of goddess? (oh wait...)
 * Naming confusions aside, I think the idea itself is a lot of fun. A lot bigger in scope then the Humor category... and has a lot of potential. Potential for abuse as well, I can see lots of situations where some users might differ in opinion on what constitutes "in universe" and so on. But with kinks like that worked out, especially considering the section wouldn't need as much organization or standards as, say, the Build namespace, it's unlikely any huge problems could arise from it all.
 * I'm going to say coming to a concencius on the name of the thing is the biggest hurdle that needs to be faced. :D (lots of users wouldn't know that Lyssa is the goddess of creativity, so that might be confusing as well, even if it's a great name.) --[[image:GEO-logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  09:06, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
