Heroic Crown of Sonnets (Another Activity)

[Truerenigma]

So does this mean that anyone can try off any last line and the first suitable one goes in or are you having people sign up?

Yeah, I was just thinking about that—the only issue is not waiting for a "suitable one", because we can always work together to bring it on track through editing—the problem is having multiple people writing for the same part in the sequence at the same time. I imagine it would be pretty disappointing if you spent a thousand hours on your sonnet—only to find that someone else has already taken your spot.

I don't want there to be a selection process where people are "submitting" poems to be "chosen"—it will have to either be first come, first serve -or- we will just have to have people start signing up and start a list.

Personally, I think the first come first serve way will be more active, interesting, and exiting. I don't think we will be overrun with people fighting for a spot—the people here would participate are pretty reasonable, and if someone else gets there first, you can just write the next one.

100 post minimum hereby in effect. anyone who has a sonnet ready first can start.

The worst thing that happens is we have /too many/ sonnets?

I don't think there is a such thing. Another thing though—members should wait for a cue that we are open for the next sonnet to post theirs. If they have one ready before the cue, they can simple let the others here know by simple posting "I'm next", or something to that effect.

We are currently open for the first sonnet. I am thinking about one— which will go up when it is ready if some time passes without someone else starting—but I have no problems with someone else kicking it off.

I can still keep my sonnet and maybe workshop it later, so no harm done, right?

I can't speak for anyone else but I wouldn't be upset if I started one and someone beat me to it. I'll probably end up with 13 half sonnets, something to work on in the future. I don't think I'd be losing from the experience even if nothing got in.

Could possibly end up with 2 crowns.

or several. it could be an ongoing thing. What the hell...we're bound to get some poetry out of it.
