you could see about adding an optional "authors notes" section in the "submit poem" screen
that way we could add tid bits of either what the poems about, what it's inspired  by,if its up for contest,links of inspiration, etc.

Thank you, that's a great suggestion, I will look to add this feature reasonably soon.

That would be cool to have and something I would love to see happen.

Just got here today.  Haven't put any poems out yet (this is participation post # 3 so I can), but that would be fantastic.

This is a welcome feature and I’m pleased as punch that today it’s a reality!  Before, whenever I published my work and added an author’s note or post script, it always seemed to take away or distract from the piece.  So I cheer how the designation is now clean & clear & appropriate to visiting readers.  Well done! 👏👏👏

when you post in the Author's Note section it deletes part of the text sometimes but if you go back in after its posted and add it will stay.
there may possibly be a bug to work out there.
i composed a good bit of Author's Note to a poem posted it and 3/4th's if it deleted and i said to myself " fuck" lol.

same here, tried editing the author's note 6 times, still leaving out the last two words added there. Appears the character limit of the text box is somehow getting curtailed at the time of the execution.

During an Execution,

I think a couple of missing words
is the last thing on most peoples minds.

I worked out a few things which might have been causing the last bit to get cropped off, related to line breaks and a few special characters. Hopefully the character count will be more accurate now and I also limited it to 800 to ensure everything gets saved.

Thank You Dear Webmiss.
Appreciate the prompt response.

I tried a few times and unfortunately (not foault of yours of course) still the last word is being cropped out. I checked the character count and my author's note that i tried on my penultimate posting here is only 150 characters long.
