    Thank you, Raul, for your kind words and good wishes!
    I think there's probably no other sight where people from all over the world can get together by the written word and enjoy each other's work and conversations. I think it's a blast!

Your composition on FS is right on the money. I find that the first thing I think of when I sit at my computer, is FanStory and I cannot wait to see what is waiting for me. It is a blast and your words mirror a lot of my thoughts. Great picture!

    thank you so much. Sometimes it takes up whole days. (and half the night, when I'm on a roll.)
    Well, I'd better pry myself from this chair and hie myself to the grocery story.
    Many thanks again.

I think you capture very well the essence of Fan Story right over here :"Writers all over the globe,
From places that I'll never see,
Have offered their stories, their poems
And comments to FS, which enabled me" Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.

As another who has been hooked on the place for four and half years now I tend to agree with sentiments lying behind this poem. Written in a kind of 'formule libre' this is not free verse, as it has has a regular abcb rhyme scheme. Its varying line length frees it from a descriptive metre although it has a distinctive bias towards an overall anapaestic rhythm, which is refreshing to say the least.

An enjoyable read.

This is a lovely poem, detailing what you like about the FanStory experience.

I particularly like your description that FanStory is "a beehive of ideas". This harks back to the popular saying "buzzing with ideas". That's neatly crafted {smiles}.

Best of luck with this when the voting booth opens {smiles}.

    thank you! I do think it's fun with all the neat members. I find I spend more time writing for Fan Story than I do on my book.
