SURVEY QUESTION: MOVES!

[The Vision]

I think if I wanted to play M&M, I’d play that instead. One of the things that drew me to this site was the freedom it gave. I have not felt that freedom in Move Approval recently.

By trying to standardize Move Approval so strictly, we risk losing a sense of interpretation that makes art enjoyable. I dunno if I’d REALLY say we’re producing literature on that scale but we are writing and that’s an art. Right now, to me, this is a conflict less about Moves and more about whether we want this site to be a place where writers create interesting fight scenes or a video game-style thing where we can play out badass fights.

I dunno if I’ve managed to phrase that in a neutral way, but I DO know where I stand. I want this to be a place where things aren’t just numbers flying around. That bores me. I feel this is a writing community above all else and we should live by that.
