The story/poetry boards we have seem to be based around the work of forum members - basically their creative writing & reviews of it. As I understood it, the literature board would be for favourite authors/suggested reading etc. Personally, I'd be inclines to separate the two. I don't think there would be a need to separate poetry and prose within the literature forum though, so it would just be the one.

How difficult is it to set up a new board though? (I'm not being sarcastic, I genuinely have no idea) It's all very well saying, 'OK, we'll set it up, but nobody posts, it goes,' but how much work would that make for you? If it's practical to set these things up on a trial basis then great, but otherwise, how much support would you need for a new board before you were prepared to create it?
