Ofcourse not. I ask if they want to have it in the writing thread or that they find it easier to have a own thread. That still is a choice. I certainly don't commit them to choose for 'a own thread'.
Besides, why make the writing thread popular? Why not let members, who want to make large stories (with 5+ chapters/episodes), have their own thread? And let the small stories be posted in the writing thread..
