Tag Suggestions

[haikujaguar.livejournal.com]

I'm trying to decide on a list of tags to standarize for our entries... suggestions are welcome! Here are mine:

New Project Announcement (use this the first time you post about your project, or another project you've found elsewhere).
Project Updated (for any updates you want to talk about later)

Resources (for things we might find useful)
In the News (for links about crowdfunding/creativity external to us)
Icons and Graphics

Networking (obvious, I think)
Questions (for consulting the LJ mind about something you want to figure out)
Polls (for entries that include polls)


What else? What tags can you see yourself clicking on to answer a need? What needs would you have?

Also, as you can see we've managed our rename! Huzzah! Please take note for future linking.

Poetry Fishbowl Report for Tuesday, July 7, 2009

[ysabetwordsmith.livejournal.com]

This fishbowl's prompts trickled in slowly throughout the day. I started at 11:30 AM and worked until 10:00 PM, when the net connection crashed. Allowing for lunch and supper breaks, that's about 9 1/2 hours. I wrote a total of 15 poems, mostly medium and long, one short and two epics. Some were free verse, but I also got two sonnets, another rhymed rhythmic poem, and a couple that were unrhymed and unmetered but had other structural features. Some came from single prompts, some from combinations. They were about evenly split between the dystopic tone of classic cyberpunk and the more optimistic (or silly) tone of post-cyberpunk.

This month, 11 people sent prompts (2 of them outside the main thread). There were 2 first-time prompters: welcome, siliconshaman and 3circledsun. There were 28 comments including mine.

The following fishbowl poems have already been posted:
"Applejack"
"I Have a Sprocket in My Pocket"
"The Invocation Protocol"
"The Last of the Ancients"
"Soulwidth"

There will be a generally sponsored poetry poll shortly. Also, remember that "The Sky-Eyes and the Earth-Hearts" is still in the process of being funded and posted verse-by-verse; if you have a few dollars, but not enough for a whole poem, consider sponsoring a verse there.

This month's donors include: ellenmillion, marina_bonomi, and janetmiles. Special thanks to first-time donor marina_bonomi.
