I’m still friends with snugglebuck on facebook. He was tagged in something not so long back so I’m really not sure if he is still with us or not.

Unless there's a readable obituary, it's my opinion we should forgo including them.

He used to be on my FB too, but I think it was the one I closed down. I hope he's okay.

Ahavati said:Yes, I have thought about them, but don't know who to ask for Jade. We never found an obituary for her. I did reach out to Geoff but never heard back. I can ask Kasai or Rob about Feddeler unless you can suggest someone else. And I can ask PoetSpeak or Rob about LadyFancy.

Waiting on Case for guidelines, but I feel a brief bio followed by a poem would be suitable unless you have additional suggestions?

Edit: Missy, I just saw your edit above - I did contact you via Lepp immediately after I responded to Case. I respect the boundaries of those who have me blocked ( but that doesn't mean we can't work together amicably and professionally on this via the spreadsheet ); thus, I did not email you directly. Lepp said he messaged and emailed you immediately, but the message has gone unopened and he hasn't heard anything back via email.


Hi Ahavati, Also Crowfly- I heard he was very sick a few years back from Taryn a.k.a. stuckinahardplace haven’t seen him here in years.

If you can find an obituary, I will happily include him, Jackie. xo

Sadly Ahavati, I have no way to know. Just thought i would mention him in case other people read this and might know something. Xo

I understand and appreciate it very much, Jackie. So many have gone "Missing" and we may never know what happened to them.

I've just been searching the DU competitions. There is no, quick jump, to the beginning that I can see.
I have to scroll through from latest to earliest. Any help with jumping in and out where I choose? There are a ton of, anonymous hosts also on the pages I have gone through.

If I can't jump to early days and back again, it's going to be a major time consuming task.

Fabulous. It gives me a drop down of page numbers too, so I can jump back and fourth. 500 pages altogether 🫨🙃

Do you know if there is any way I can find collaborations? There is no category for them, so I don't know how to find them. 🤷‍♀️

Thank you Lep.

@Case.

We've got 7 weeks before the DU closes down. How long do the curators have to select poems, get permission etc?

I like to know my timelines to get things in order in time, before time, you know what I mean. 🤪

Great question, Magdalena. I set my deadline for NaPo/Spiritual/Memorial poems and memorial bios @ April 15th because I will be in the midst of NaPo—and will have a lot to do after. If that's too far out, I'll need to know so I can notify everyone.

Question popped up about alt-profiles.

Is it a thing we should be mindful not to include alts, it would be better maybe to include someone who would otherwise not be included

(Sorry bout the technicals, but I've started my quest )

I'm going to crack on with DU competitions.

I'm stumped with collabs. I did a search and it gave me everything with the word, collaboration in. A mish mash of all sorts. I need my bright pink wellington's to wade through that lot. 🤪
