I think the title of this section is wrong

Creators is enough.

Wannabes is not accurate. Wannabes is for people who wannabe something and never do something. Therefore they don't belong here.

Maybe I am high on meds and think everything is rainbows and unicorns but that is what I think.

I guess I still consider myself a wannabe, I've been playing at drawing comics for years, always too busy with work to get anything done. And was probably feeling self-conscious about it when I wrote the title.

But I hear what your saying, and it always struck me as clunky and awkward. I knew the term could be considered derogatorily but I was hoping, in this context I was hoping it would come across as aspirational. Or inclusive. A place for comics beginners like myself to feel free to hang out as well. Maybe you're right "Creators" could mean beginners too. I'll change it if you guys want.

Maybe it would be better like, "Creator Forum (Wannabes welcome!)" still too many words maybe.

Does anyone want to second Alex' motion? Any other title suggestions?

I guess I will second it. All creators whether beginners, journeymen or advanced or all trying, but wannabes indicates ultimate failure regardless of efforts. Drawing a blank when it comes to a better title though ...wait, "Drawing a Blank'! naw, we can do better.

I just know that I've never been a wannabe. About anything. Which probably explains why I don't write for the commercial world.

Rather than Wannabees

how about

"Creators and Self-Starters".

That's it.

It is better than Joe's first choice, the Fartknockers.

There's not really schooling though, we don't really do any feedback or set criteria for that.. though I wish we would. I'm cool with whatever though.

"Creators and Creations". or..."Creationary". or "The Creationtorium".
