Okay, okay. So it's not exactly a paper either.. NAME THAT TABLOID?

I suppose that works.

For all you lovely readers who have been waiting on tender bended knees for the much-hinted at Gossip Section of the IFQ to be released... GET READY! It's in the works as I write this- aided by a lovely selection of very talented Ifians with loose morals and even looser tongues. Razz

BUT~! Whatever shall we name this little installment?

I'll donate 100 FABLES to whomever names it. Lets here suggestions and then we'll poll this sucker!

Happy writing!
-Skitty

I'm thinking something along the lines of 'If tales...' but that wouldn't be very catchy. Can someone inventive muck about with 'storyframing' and make it into a title?

Hmmm, 'Storyframes: loose morals and looser tongues'? Ifian Tales? IF Tale-bearers? The G-spot? IF You Believe It?...

Love that name, no particular reason why - I just damn well like it.

I kinda like muck spreader as well, but maybe MudThrower? Mudflinger? (from that saying, "If you throw enough mud at a wall, some of it will stick.")

Busy Tongues strikes me as relevant with a just hint of depravity to spice it up a bit.

Bob definitley does love this thread! (I thwacked him too)

It's not very good, but what about Let Fly, or Slip up, or something.

But then again, it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with IF. Does it have to?

There used to be a Gossip column in the OF, for things that happened in Chat. Not sure if we still have one there though.
