The Things We Forget

[sgatazmy]

Apparently I used to write original fiction and poetry. I don't remember doing that much, but I was searching my email for something and saw some comments on my poetry. Then I realized I'd tried to admin a group for original writing that had sholio, tipper, nottasha, and other fantastic writers in it. What really spooks me is that I barely remember this at all? Like, seriously, why is my memory so bad???

So I went back and read some of my old poems and stories and now I really want to write more original works. I have a few more memories of the community and now I wish I had the opportunity to have such a community again. I'd love a chance to have monthly prompts to write a poem or a scene, anything to just have an excuse to write something original. It feels like a small prompt a month would be a manageable way to write original work, especially if I knew I had people who might read it and it was posted in a private group.

I'm really tempted to see if I can start a similar community again.

Right? 20 years!!! How? It looks like we did original writing in that community for a while.

Tipper and Nottasha are actually back writing sga so it’s so interesting looking back at all this.

It sounds like Tipper is up for an original writing community so I’m going to try restarting one. See what I can crank out. My fanfic these days is miles better than it used to be (and I have more readers, too, despite how old sga is) so it seems like a good time to try more original works.

I love that you do so much writing still! Both original and fanfic. You really kept it going :)
