Riff has brought up a good point. There is no way for newcomers to Lit to easily find our poetry from the index. The word "poetry" is nowhere to be found.

As it stands now, one must select "Stories and Pics" in order to find us. And that is after scrolling half way through the STORIES section!
On the index, it shows everything BUT poetry.

I wonder how many people leave right away thinking "No poetry here!"

What do you all think?

Give the poets an inch and they want a mile. Next we'll want the site renamed Poeterotica. ;)

I've noticed...

and agree.......only "stories and pics" is a link on Literotica's
"home main page".......poetry should be included at least
in that same line, because that link does go to stories, poetry,
and pics, etc! sheesh!

heheheheh about "poeterotica!" funny, WriterDom! :D

A reasonable request

You cannot do a search by poetry alone. If a poet does not have any stories posted, the current search engines will not direct you to a poet.

Let us be polite in our request lest we piss off the hand that feeds us. :)

Peace,

Absolutely, daughter. They must work their fannies off to keep this site going. (no laughing all of you from the U.K. about the "fanny" thing)
:D

Getting back to my point, I really worry that newcomers have difficulty navigating towards our work. I remember finding the poetry section the first time and when I came back, I wondered now where the hell did that go? Stories? No. Pics? No. Images? No, couldn't be there. Where?

It kind of reminds me of the process we go through to stop our computers from running. What do we do first? We go to "Start" of course! lol No wonder I don't get the whole 'puter thing. I'm way too literal.

Perhaps the best way to approach Laurel and Manu
in regards to this matter is to send a friendly email
or PM to them, either one of us or more.......

What y'all think? :)

Next logical step

RS, D, TJ, WD -

It seems like the next step for the poetic growth on Lit. A simple request for a seperate listing on the 'start' page.

But then, here's the question...

What listing? Since it is largely viewed as an erotic site for pornographic/erotic stories, would the listing be Erotic Poetry? Or simply Poetry listed below Stories & Pics?

A little deceiving if it's listed as Erotic, but then the surfers who like poetry could go there and later discover, hopefully to their delight, that there are other kinds of poetry as well.

Yes? No?

Here's a suggestion: "Stories, Poetry & Pics"
or "Erotic/NonErotic Poetry"

I personally like the first suggestion :)

Stories/Poetry/Pics is all it would take...all on the same line.

Cool

Then how do we make the request. Someone needs to email Laurel, right? Draw straws? Knife fight? Wet towels at 10 paces?

SNAP! YEEEEOOOOUCCH!!! OK, OK , I'll do it! :D
 
It's a done deal

Ok, I contacted Lit with our request. I'll keep you posted. You can put that wet towel away now, Judo. ;)

Thank you all for your input here.

thank you Katpurrs!

thank you KP for sending along an email to Laurel to
let her know of our request! :) Keep us posted!

thanks much again!

Heh-heh-heh

(Laughing menacingly) I don't know, KP, there's an awful lot of fun things to do with a wet towel. And after all of those, they really come in handy in the clean-up stages...
