Note… this is not an ordinary thread… you can post your thoughts, comments and suggestions in the usual way, but in addition you can also upvote or downvote other folks’ suggestions. So if you like someone else’s suggestion… click on the upvote arrow… and vice versa.

It’s official – we’re no longer calling Pop-Up Submission’s Genius Room the Genius Room.

Not that its denizens are any less intelligent. It’s just that, likie most authors, they’re kinda shy and don’t like vaunting their acuity.

So… what shall we now call the-room-formerly-known-as-Genius?

Over to you…!

The Litopians. It's accurate and pushes the brand/links to the colony.

Something maybe simple but certainly edifying and that will be achieved if the word Litopia is included.
No, l was not thinking of the Litpians Confessional

The Litopians is so grey and unexceptional. Meh. I do think if opinions are to be accepted by submitters the room has to have some kind of authority awarded it by Pete. The genius room did it tongue in cheek. If that is too literal then maybe something even more ironic?
Critique evokes critics which carries a far more scathing judgement on work than a tongue in cheek room full of genii's.

I propose 4 alternatives. The first.

1. The Muppet Gallery- the muppets

Build the mental image of a pub. The kind of pub Pete would have in brick and mortar if he had the chance. Just say the Pub, but give it new names as inspired. "The Book and Worm." "The Big Head." "The Published Publican" And in the pub are the beta readers. The Blushing Betas.

Pub does hint at publish.
