I have a website lcmcquillen.com and an instagram page @L.C.McQuillen that I would love to continue to connect with you on. Planning on releasing my first poetry book here soon (:
Looking forward to the NaPoWriMo last hurrah on DUP <3
Glad you're on the launchpad with us!

oooh, I love the reel this conjures in my mind. What a fun crazy idea to whisper something like that to a stranger.
Assuming the other person's in good enough mood, good way to find yourself in interesting conversations, belongs on same plane like a RAK (random act of kindness, for any uninitiated).

I'm shocked to learn this. I thought DU would live forever. I understand though. Thank you for all you've done. Thanks for giving us a place to play. I will miss this site. Cheers

I have tried Poetry Circle for a couple of weeks. It really is no subsitute for DUP. It is similar. But it is very hierarchical. It has a similar function but it doesn't have the freedom. It can't compare. But if you want to publish your poems on a site with other poets Poetry circle can do that.
DUP will live on in our memory.
Starsrite is much better than peotry circle in my opinion.

If you post on reddit, i suggest posting as text instead of using DUP in screenshots. none of the poets here own the website or the logo and you're liable to get the posts taken down if someone brings up legality.
would be a good idea to remove the ones already on there just in case.
