Cup o' Wisps

The Chatter forum (http://www.spongen.org/forumdisplay.php?f=2) has become our place for discussing rules, features, and forum details. Keep an eye on it and contribute to discussions if you want a hand in guiding how this forum is shaped. Everyone has a right to contribute.I never knew where to ask or discuss this on it's own, but this seemed to point me to this place.
I have a question about the Generation subforums. Visual Art, Writing and Concepts, and Diverse Work to be exact. If I'm doing a project, I post it in the projects -oops, I mean Diverse Work subforum. I'm going to start uploading various things for a comic project of mine, and would like to use that area as a source to share and get feedback on it.
I've already posted a Visual Art. I'd continue putting artworks there for feedback. Some might naturally end up in a Diverse Project thread, for aesthetics and the like. But if I wanted to show quotes or dialogue or scenes and ideas, I could head to the Writing and Concepts subforum? That way every thing's organized for specific audiences - people who wanted to read/critique words, people for art, etc.
Though it causes questions about the attention a child forum could get, asking for feedback on a specific genre outside of that genre. Even with forum cross linking... Open a thread in a specific subforum that directs (like "moved") to a child thread - but keeps up to date. Not just showing a title, with "moved" or what not when looking at the subforum, but still keeping in line (bumps and the like) as well as showing last post and keeping updated on that like normal.
Or would that be better served when/if we get child threads? Use the Diverse Project thread as the biggie, and have a child thread aimed towards artwork and one aimed towards the writing concepts. One aimed towards what not... Even thought it could easily get less traffic, people looking to respond to art would do so in the art section for example.
It's still a strange concept.
I know this has been answered in part one way or another, and it's a foolish question I'm sure - but one that confused me.
-If this was completely answered I apologize. If this is in the wrong area, or should have been posted in a certain place I'll delete this if someone would kindly tell me where.
Thanks
