Requesting a new Sub-forum
Why not use something like Google docs to create your own logs/diaries and start a thread about it?
It would certainly be much easier to sticky such a thread than to create a whole sub-forum.
It would be pretty neat to see peoples character stories written out. But it would fall under community creations (as it would be classified as fan-fic.) and I think could actually generate some really cool stuff.

I was just thinking of how the community did it in my old MMO. It becomes very difficult to follow a single character if every character’s journal is under the same thread; I have six characters, and I’ve seen some people out there claim as many as twenty. I can’t even color-code the entries so people can just scroll down until they see the background or text color they want. Basically, I didn’t want everybody’s stories to get buried and lost, and having a forum in “Community Content” devoted just to in-character writings would ensure that those stories are easy to find.
Well thats the beauty of Google Docs. It can be edited and retain the same link. So all the posters need to do is introduce their character with a link to the document. Just be sure to have some outline in the OP to avoid confusion and to keep things neat and organized.
I would think most people wanting to do such things would do their best to keep it in order. But creating a new sub-forum with hundreds of single threads about each individual character would get quite messy quite fast.

Plus you could start such a thread to get things going while/if Anet considers a new sub-forum. That way you can start getting your stuff published, and others can join in instead of waiting for it to get started.
