Multiple Fiction / Novel Threads

[Charles Evans 25]

(edited)
Every other week we seem to get a new thread being posted now asking about pathfinder novels/fiction.
Is there any chance that someone at Paizo could please write a 'standard' email to be automatically sent to everyone as they register with Paizo, tell them as part of the registration process that they're being sent an email (so that hopefully they will go look for it and fish it out of anti-spam to read) and in that email, besides a welcome message from Cosmo, explain what the Pathfinder fiction/novel state of affairs is?
Please?
Pretty, pretty, please?
I'll set a horde of flumphs on you if you don't? :)

Edit:
Umm, on second thoughts, arguably by contributing to the flumph petition thread, I actually have already contributed to a flumph infestation. Okay. I'll think really hard about posting an on-topic flumph thread on every active forum which doesn't already have at least one such thread if you don't... ;)

That seems an awful lot of work. Why not just sticky the largest thread, and when new ones pop up, lock them and direct users to the stickied thread.

[Kyle Baird]

or start producing novels already! :)

I'm bumping this thread becase I've just seen yet another confused newcomer to the boards asking about novels. There isn't even anything in the FAQ as far as I can see, and heavens know this gets asked about often enough that I would have thought it should merit an entry in the FAQ.

Now that we have the list feature, it seems like the perfect chance to compile our own FAQ to link inquisitive new fiction fans to.

Umm, I haven't yet dared click that List thing, and the PMG's explanatory post of how it works/what it does hasn't yet made much sense to me... Maybe it will make more sense on a day when I've had fewer mince-pies with rum-butter and no trifle or chistmas pudding with brandy sauce...

Oh, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, Yoda. :D

Yeah, with the posting of the most recent thread it occurred to me that it would be great to have a list of all the Pathfinder fiction threads. I thought about making it but made lunch instead.

You have some strange priorities, Postmonster. And here I thought you were dedicated to your work, but it seems on a holiday weekend you put your own pleasure above us poor, needy customers.

[Gary Teter]

Well, to tell the truth I'm kinda hoping that someone else will make the list for me.

The best programmers are very, very lazy people.

You can't write some code that will automate the task?

but then you'd have to write a loop to find them.... and if someone else wants to do it from home then they've written the loop with minimum work - none!

Is this where you ask for Pathfinder Novels now?

[SirUrza]

As soon as they make the OFFICIAL announcement about the line, they'll open up a forum just for fiction discussion and this insignificantly minor... issue(?).. will be nothing but a forgotten memory.

Don't like fiction threads, scroll past them. :)

Then I ought to be the greatest programmer in history!

No.

Darn, back to my other 30 Pathfinder Fiction threads on Paizo.

[Gary Teter]

OK, I went ahead and made a list of 23 threads requesting Pathfinder fiction. I might have missed some, I only looked for threads with either "fiction" or "novel" in the title.

[Gary Teter]

And here's a list of posts by Paizo staffers from those threads where they answer questions about Pathfinder fiction.

How about the official pathfinder Movie. When will that be out?

I think that would be really really neat. All the Paizo staff could do cameos.

Just a thought.

Wheee!

Thanks PMG. :)
Now all we need is a link to it from the Frequently Asked Questions section (if you haven't already done that in hyper-efficient manner). :D
