For those that are active in the main thread, I have no issue with a few side-threads for personal development. I think that's fair. I would classify 'few' as two or three. When I say active...I mean simply writers that are contributing to the main story. If there is a writer that has posted maybe once in several rounds of posting of the main story and decides to have a million interactions in side threads, I would probably question that a bit and I hope others would as well.<br/>
