Poets--
There is a new wave of poets to the forum and that is great. I am wondering if anyone has shared with folks our brief history here and why this forum was created.
Unless sentiment has changed, the intent of this forum was not to create a bullentin board to post poetry in individual threads for commenting. Lite is set up for public publishing, and the bullentin boards are for discussing works posted to the site.
It is true, we run special challenges and exercises, but this is the exception to the rule. Even when poets create verse for events, we are encouraged to post these works to the site at large.
I'd would hate for administration to regret creating this forum for us because we are abusing the privilege. Our bullentin board is for discussion of poetry in general, challenges to hone our craft, and for critique. When a poet wants feedback to a specific poem that has been published here, he posts the title in the thread and provides a link in the post.
Authors do not post entire stories in the author forums. I suggest we follow protocol and respect the privilege we've been given.
To our newer members, check the "Site Index". You'll find a full listing of poems and stories published on Lite. If you need additional information or assistance, let us know.
Peace,
daughter
