[MDL Writers] Article Ideas & Discussion

 Lilac:

After getting the link to article editor, it says access denied and so am unable to add authors to it or work on it... Can someone please help as to what I can do?

I'll send you the link (via DM) I got back when I submitted my first article. Just checked it and it works. Please try again with this. :)

It is the same link I have too... Don't understand why it is denying access...I can't seem to add an author either...

 Blizzardahm:

Does it say 'access denied' right away you clicked on the link provided by an editor or when you clicked on the article to continue to work on it?

It got cleared, thanks for helping... 

Hi I was reading the MDL Article Guide and I have a question.  Why is "Yaoi/BL topics" listed among topics  that are not allowed?  

Is this on the assumption that  all Yaoi/ BL are inherently sexual? Does this ban include anything related to male homosexual content, so any show/movie that includes a male queer character? And lastly why is BL on the banned topics list but not GL?  

Hi I am an avid kdrama watcher from India and I am interested in writing an article on (a)Lessons and Similarities from Search WWW and Be Melodramatic OR (b)Why Do I Keep Rewatching Slow Burn Dramas like One Spring Night, A Piece Of Your Mind or Do You Like Brahms...

Could you please guide me how to get about this?
Thank you!

Hey hey, how’s it going? I’m new here, I wrote like the introduction to an article a few days ago to try and submit here then I saw the one about articles that’s up atm.

anyway, I would like to write an article about Tropes.

Has it been done before? Is the topic to basic and boring?

Hi! There are currently three similar articles claimed: One about clichés, one about K-Drama Tropes, and one about the Found Family Trope. If you think you can make yours different from those, you could write it. :)

 ScarletRage:

The open topics list has an opening for Best 10 Thai Dramas was wondering if I could write an article on that & if that’s not available then can I write what to expect from the upcoming GameBoys2 Season - How Season 2 BL Dramas have rarely been successful as the original Season & the GameBoys 2 Challeneg will be the article 

Best Thai dramas - yes; GameBoys - no, unfortunately!

ok!

Why is Yaoi/BL on the list and not GL? -> Nobody wanted to write about it before, the rule goes for both. Bromance/sismance and dramas adapted from BL novels/mangas/whatever are fine. Nothing we can do about these rules, sorry! 

Technical issues -> I hope they've been solved. If not, please post them on the support forum. You can also post here again if there's an open issue with accessing the editor, but I think it should work now?

 Sassy queen:

If I set a specific date for my article to be published will it be published that day? Even if it’s in two days?

It depends on the type of article. If its a news article the admins will decide whether it gets published or not but if it an article that needs editing then you cannot decide the date. It will get published once the editors are done editing & it might take 3-4 weeks or even a month depending on the amount of other articles they have to edit. Also, if it is a currently watching article, then they will edit it more faster since the series are ongoing. I hope you got it :)
