Community Thread / Tips and Questions

joshmay, mr. moderator sir. What do you think of a Poetry thread in the S&L forums? It might just be me, but I think it'd be nice to see a separate thread for poetry, mainly because lyrics and poetry may be critiqued in different aspects of writing. Here a poem might be posted and a user's critique might consist of "I can't see this to music, and the flow is odd", or something to that nature, and I think that a separate thread could help prevent that. My only problem with having a poetry thread would be a lack of interest from other users. So my question to everyone else is: What do you guys think of having a thread dedicated to Poetry only? And how many of you would actually post and critique in it?
 
So, why don't we try another go around at this posting pictures of ourselves thing, seeing as how we have so many new people.

A Haiku, Sonnet, etc type thread will work I think. I mean as long as everyone gives helpful critiques or even just praise for the work in there. If it gets out of hand it can always be closed.
 
My band is playing our third show with the five songs we have tonight. Not bad for only being together 3 months.

I scream and sing and talk lyrics I write.

THAT'S COOL.
 
Spectrum, I didn't give you a crit, but that epic thing you did a like a week ago was sexy. I kept meaning to but never got around to it. All I have to say is it was the best thing I've read in months.
 
yeah ive heard of them, they are pretty good.
The thing that i like about Ok Go is they have like a funky beat, and lyrics that are not completely corny and cliche.

You know what. I really would buy and read a novel like that. I did do a short story with a dumb character as lead, but that isn't as difficult as it seems. Basically, as the dumb character can't communicate except with action (I set it in a ficticious feudal Japanese village so there isn't a developed sign language), he acts more as a narrator who can touch and appear within the story. It worked alright because according to the few people who actually read it on my English course it allowed a person to interact with the characters more, but I think blindness would be much tougher to tackle.

Hmmm... stories. I've been toyign with a full length novel based on a twisted distortion of a random feminist piece I read, but that was a bit rubbish. Maybe I should get to work on a another project (not related to this blindness idea though as it sounRAB like Sade and Metaliq are looking into that).
