WritersCo at Facebook

For all you Facebook members, [Eleanor] (at the instigation of [Kiddalee]) has started a group there for us to hang out, post photos, have discussions, and get to know each other outside of this site.

It’s global, anyone can join, and hopefully we’ll encourage more aspiring writers and poets to get involved at WritersCo. Come and check it out:

Changes In The Commune

WritersCo loves you, and hopes you love it, too! That's why you should "prove" it by discussing the possible changes proposed in this thread: [5493].

If the forum navigation confuses you, try the help pages or message a Staff member.

Community-Wide Contests

Hiya. Thread [5493] turned out to be nicely active, and we've all come up with some cool ideas. So here's a summary:

- Featured contests will take place bi-monthly or quarterly. We still need to decide that.
- We will either use existing contests in order to find them some action, or we will make up new ones. Which we do will vary. The way we decide will vary, too.
- Winners will be chosen by a Main Page poll. If a premade contest isn't normally run like this, it will have to be tweaked just for this event.
- To make winning mean something, there will be a minimum of 4 entries before we close and go to poll (unless it takes so long to get them that people are getting bored).

  If you are running a wiki-contest, and don't mind it being featured on the Main Page at some point, please message your favourite active staff member, stating that you don't mind having your contest featured if they would notify you far enough ahead to make proper arrangements, and that you'd be willing to be active for the time of that contest. This is not an application, so you don't have to sell your contest. Just give permission and all that.

  Staff, please refer to your forum.

PDA

That stands for the Poetry Dueling Arena! This is where poems go head to head, and where long-standing champions can be overturned by the whims of the audience. Do you think your poem has what it takes to remain forever? Check out the Arena, cast your votes, and even attempt to challenge those seeming goliaths of the polls. Bring your best to the Poetry Dueling Arena right now!

Drabbles for All!

  That's right. Drabbles is our first community-wide contest.

  What is a drabble? A tiny prose piece of 100 words. As a part of the challenge, you incorporate a certain theme. This contest's theme is to make a candle very important. Now go enter!

 Judging is by Mainpage poll. Prizes include bragging rights, the knowledge that you have won a contest that a lot of people will probably be entering, and awards credits. Prizes are subject to increase retroactively and/or without notice.

WC Crew - New Vacant Posts

Within the last few days WritersCo has had a crew reform. We realised that we needed more crew to help with certain areas, and that we needed some new ideas and suggestions to get things going again. From now on instead of having one boss over the entirety of WritersCo, we have split the community up into three separate sections, which are as follows:

The Writing Section - responsible for all writing related activities.

The Member Section - responsible for looking after the members.

The Admin Section - responsible for looking after the community.

There will still be a Community Boss to oversee each section and act as the final decision maker if need be.
Each section has its own boss, its own mods and its own crew. As you can imagine splitting each section up has split the work load, and increased the need for additional volunteers. At the moment current staff have decided which position they would like to be placed in (these decisions have been reflected on the Staff page).

We currenltly have a few vacancies within the WritersCo crew. We will not be recruiting to fill these positions all at once, but over the next few weeks will gradually fill these positions. 

Current Vacancies

- Member Boss Closed
If you have any questions about this role, ask [Font]
- Member Mods Closed

More technical news

More genres and Styles.

As you may have noticed, and for some eagerly awaited, more genres and styles have been added to both your presentations and uploaded writings. With these additions it will be much easier to class the writings you have uploaded to WritersCo.

What's that? I can't hear you!

There is now a shout box on Main Page! (Just over there to the left) You can use this new feature to say your hellos, how are yas and what nots, even talk about your writing or reading.

Just remember that whatever you write there everyone will be able to see it, and we don't want to be reading anything inappropriate!

At the moment this particular shout box is not linked in with the WC sign on, so you will have to type in your name before you post.

Anyways enjoy, and hope you all can find a use out of it! Chat away!

Death

By: [shadoublood]
Genre/Style: Rhyming Poetry
Mod's Comment:
Gothic fatalism communicated in nonstop imagery.

Roses black darken the skies with red tears
Blood splashes upon the ashes of life
Rusted shears cut the longest line of fear
Hearts bleed from the wound given by the knife
Reapers feast upon the last battle
She with the dark wings returns to the dust
Throats will dry at the end of the rattle
The Buildings of life have begun to rust
The Angels weep at their fruitless labor
For death has claimed what they have bled for
The slaves taste the dead bodies sweet flavor
Those above begin to make molds for more
Dust begins to stir violently anew
For they will again take life from you.

Rate it at 744.Death
