Would non-fic find a place? Essaygirl likes essays.
Yes! That's why I said "original writing," with you in mind!
And a broad theme (like ... I don't know, people, or darkness, or blue, or whatever) would work for anything.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
What, you think we can't all come up with fifteen thousand words about goats?

This is a fabulous plan. I am in favor of this plan.

Sounds interesting. My ability to contribute would depend on the time frame. I am so busy right now.
I have a question, but to ask it I'd need to post 290 word excerpt and a 505 word excerpt. It's about level of detai., I'm trying to decide if a can get more of a sense of setting and detail (a problem a few people have had) without messing things up. That may be a bit much to post, but could I maybe email someone if someone is willing to take a look? Just impressions, not looking for mistakes.

Gud, there's no rush. There may not be any anything, really. We're just talking, so far.
Why don't you just post it here? Do it in two posts, maybe?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
So thematically, what would we be working on. If, say, hypothetically speaking, we were to herd cats and do a Buffistas collection?

Dude, I threw some ideas out there! Everyone else needs to chime in. Or we need to do (shudder) a poll or something.

Please don't let it be goats. Really.

“Not dead yet!”
I like variations on dark myself. Because everyone's interpretation of it can be so different, including dark as a form of light, if'n you grab my meaning.
