[REQUEST] Arkn Mythos Subforum Allow me to give a brief synopsis; the Arkn Mythos are a collection of stories related to the ongoing war between the Upper Beings (Arkn) and the Lower Beings (Dekn). The community is small, but it is quickly expanding. Now, it may seem logical to just have it categorized in the Slender Man Mythos, but these stories don't even feature the aforementioned Tall Man. I think it would be smart to separate the Slender Mythos and the Arkn Mythos.

Hate to bump this, but with series like SMILEWITHME and -HOOH-: [EVERYBODY SCREAMS IN THE DARK] being included in this universe of multiple other stories, I feel likea subforum would be very beneficial and helpful with some of the mysteries and ARG elements.

I'd suggest not giving a subforum to the people who delete any and all stories and references to stories written by people who have left from their canon that is most certainly not a mythos, but whatever.

Sounds like the Slender name in the subforum title is either misleading now or obsolete. Creating another new subforum for another specific category of stories would help with current organization, but maybe it needs a more generic title for long-term use. (I have no suggestions, being an outsider.)

While I do have distaste for how the Arkn "Mythos" is set up, I agree that we do need a separate subforum for stories that exist within another mythos or verse, such as the Fear Mythos, which has several ARGs such as most of the Architect Verse, The Undecided Five and the infamous Nine Is God.
I would think a place where Arkn Mythos and Fear Mythos stories can be posted without having to be labeled as "just more Slender Man stories" would be a great idea. Perhaps it could go under the banner "Other Internet Mythoi"?

I agree, things like HooH and Handprints being hosted in the Slender Mythos section are a bit misleading, and there are loads of other stories that could be included in an Arkn Subforum. HooH has enough ARG for a few pages of discussion but the News and Rumors post is basically dead. Handprints is a gigantic puzzel and fits perfectly with HooH in a single category. Alongside that, Smilewithme and Spectrumgate could be included, along with countless other stories and args within the Mythos. I'll keep pushing for it, I know the fandom would love a forum that allows them to theorize and solve puzzels under the Chaotic Fiction section.

What Michael said. An "Other Internet Mythoi" section sounds fantastic. Although I don't think the Arkn community is big enough to warrant its own subforum, I agree that it needs to be separate from the Slender Man forum.

This post is about an Arkn Subforum, not Other Mythoi
There is more than enough current and upcoming ARG content to warrent an Arkn subforum

Sorry, it's just that you're not brainstorming like I am to make a more organized Unforum. Otherwise, I'd request a Fear Mythos subforum. You're just trying to get more publicity.

As an update, I've asked around the community and we have a large grouping of people willing to help contribute and work with a possible Arkn subforum, along with close to 4K players on the HooH channel, and a couple hundred on Handprints, there would be a decent community using it!
We've started up polls on a few social media sites to judge interest and so far it is going well, so hopefully we can get a good following behind this!

Michael: Hey! Look at how little conflict of interest this has as I pole you about the community you're already a part of, while questioning no one else, like the Unfiction admins, about this decision that affects THEIR SITE!

This thread is for information and the like that could help the Admins judge interest and consider the idea of an Arkn subforum.
But yeah, there are big enough communities that will enjoy the opportunity to discuss theories and puzzles pertaining to the Args within the Arkn Mythos on here rather than they dreaded Google +.

Not sure how much extra weight my word carries, but for what it's worth, I see both sides of it. On the one hand, separating it out probably isn't worth the trouble, especially because we've already got a forum dedicated solely to a series that is 100% over, and another dedicated to a legion of other series that, shock and awe, is pretty much dead at this point. Sure, there's some activity, but frankly, proper thread tagging should clear up any confusion fairly quickly.
That said? I do want the non-Slender Man stuff the hell out of my forum.
So there's my two cents.

So, if you want work that does not, or features very little of, the Slender Man out of the Slender Man Mythos subforum, I say an "Other Mythoi" subforum is a great option. Fear Mythos, Arknverse, SCP Foundation, Holders Series, and maybe even Lovecraft ARGs and webseries' could be posted in said forum.
