Shit's fucked up, but that's how we like it.
I'm pretty quiet myself, when once I had all sorts of shit to say....let's blame the lack of drugs and alcohol, and a general apathy toward anything my finger's have to say....
I hope you're right. That's why I want to bring a keg to the DU convention.

Too much of that happening at the same time in the same space creates a fucking vacuum of sorts, next thing you know some bright spark will be running poetry comps on Pilates.... just a theory.[/quote]
Lets hope your theory proves to be fact.

Viddax said:Aha! It is not just you snugglebuck. To me DU seems to be in somewhat of a rut: a rut of lazing in the sunshine and mellow production. As apposed to the days and weeks of frenzied activity, or the rare Ages of Wonders where one poem or competition generates a horde of replies, posts, poems, and thoughts.
It seems to have been this way since the copying debacle, can't remember the exact topic or site involved, but that one where a poet from another site was copying poems here and trying to defend acts of blatant plagiarisation.
Its not too quiet, not quite dead, as it felt after the 'Exodus', but not fully firing on all cylinders.
Still, a good time to rest and restore strength so that the dragon of inspiration can blaze forth once more...
We all need a brain break, every once and a while.

There were no more helpful critiques, no more engaging conversations in the forums and most of the amazing poets that had inspired me had dissapeared. Nothing stays the same forever though, and slowly but surely it's picking up again. The faces that used to be next to every other comment have stopped posting so regularly but there's plenty of new ones... I still wish there were still a few snarks around though, made life a little less dull. Look at me... Not even one sarcastic comment or snide remark. I should be ashamed of myself.
Slighty!
Slighty!

I can't speak for everyone else, but being prego really depletes the needed energy reserves for writing in general, let alone ridiculously awkward perspective of erotica :-P[/quote]
My father once told me that the trials of pregnancy are often exaggerated.
Then my mother decked him. Three months later I had a baby brother.

And there it is but, where the baby daddy? That's the real ridiculously awkward...
hmm, that explains it...I defend my sister's name stuckinahardplace, the writer of "ridiculously awkward" erotica...
