1.) fictionpress used to belong in fanfiction dot net before receiving a website of their own.

2.) a lot of people writing here, one way or another, know what anime/manga is, myself included. i migrated to fictionpress and original fictions from fanfiction. of course, i was heavily infulenced by anime and manga back then.

3.) for that matter, the manga section is for those people who write stories insipired by what you see in anime and manga.

4.) these days, you see almost everything in anime in manga; so in a way, the manga section is just like the general section of fictionpress (less stories, less risk of your stuff getting buried in a pile of new stories)

They need to nix it. Manga and anime in general refer to visual art styles, not fiction. The only thing that seems to make most of the stuff "manga" is by using Japanese names that are usually recycled from other places.

yeah, I don't understand either. manga means japanese comics. this isn't a...japanese comic site.

I suppose they mean a story that has similar themes to anime or manga, but using the word "manga" for it just seems really dumb, imo. I mean, manga is divided into genres itself, such as sci-fi or fantasy or romance. or, basically, all the other genres represented on FP.

I really don't see the point...
