Hi Bill,
I like the way you've given Fanstory and its members a pat on the back.
Reading and writing is good for the mind and the soul. It's all here in Fanstory, as well as wonderful friends whom we may never meet.
Nice entry for the Acrostic poetry contest! I wish you good luck!
Cheers,
Kimbob

I have never seen anything written so obviously to sway a biased judge. LOL. I am new her and enjoyed your summary of the site, perhaps it will be used for marketing purposes. Good Luck 5 stars.

Thank you, Mark. After all the accusations of pandering, I hope this wins something. : )
Comment from Dawn Munro
Oh, this is a wonderful acrostic, and no doubt, Tom will like the plug for his business! (*grin*) But it really is well-done -- a great rhyme scheme, and well-metered too, which is not an easy task in this format.
Best of luck in the contest! I'd say it stands a marvelous chance of walking away with the win!!!!

I enjoyed your Fanstory promotion in your rhyming acrostic poem. You described Fanstory well here and gave it a positive spin. Hope this does well in the contest!

Thank you, Helen. I have labeled a panderer.

No problem! It may be a good thing! Another entry was about Fanstory contests. 😊

Tom could use your poem to promote the site.
I checked a few other poetry sites and they look so confusing, also they don't have the option to post artwork with the poem.
I spend much time navigating Pinterest to find the right pic. And to find other pics that might inspire.
I have one issue though, the committee is slack sometimes allowing certain poems to participate despite they lack the requirements necessary.
Seeing we pay to participate, I think the committee should be on the ball.

I haven't seen any committee-judged poems that didn't past muster. The member-created and judged ones that miss the mark happen all the time.

In one contest , it was supposed to be a 5-7-5 contest but one member posted 2 x 5-7-5 and the committee didn?t ask the poet to remove one.
In 17 syllables you can says so much with an extra 17 much more.
I didn?t think that was fair play.
I will keep an eye out , the next one I will share with you 😝

Ciao !
When I took a shot at a tyburn contest three years ago for the first time my entry was disqualified .. the committee told me that verbs end with just ING were not considered rhyming .
To qualify as rhyming you had to have at least another same letter in each word
Eg :
wa ging
Sta ging
Gau ging
Ra ging
Bul ging
Gor ging
Nud ging
Plun ging
The entries Anticipation and Tyburn tree are not right.
You might say I?m splitting hairs but my poem didn?t pass because ING alone was not considered enough as rhyming .
I will vote for Anticipation cause it?s a great entry despite :
Trying
Finding
Buying
Signing
do not comply to what the committee told me three years ago.
Your thoughts?

I'm back ..the committee again failed to do its job.
In the senryn contest which just hit the booth, there is the poem Pollinate
which has three rhymed endings
scented lilacs bloom
open windows perfumed room
allergies my doom
a senryu should be UNrhymed.
I remember my first senryu was disqualified because it rhymed.

What a great slogan for the fanstory site. I couldn't agree with the statement more. I've been here fourteen years. I'm still unpublished but I've learned much. There are so many writers here who offer help and guidance, There are lots of contest and many hours of pleasurable reading available

I enjoyed this Acrostic about Fanstory and its different creative ways.
Each line felt natural and not forced to fit the rules of an acrostic.
Nice rhymes and the last line is fun.

Too bad you couldn't get in the contests that pay. A good point about novels that touch lives. Also the bit about reading and writing. Nicely said in couplets. Good luck in the contest, Bill.

This is an excellent Acrostic. You have written my thoughts in your poem. Your poem reads like Dr. Seuss. It has a sing-songy flow. I do not see any room for improvement.Have a blessed day.
