Hello everyone, Ecky here with another project for us all to (hopefully) work on. The SI Official Book of Poems, Edition II is going to get started. By the looks of it this Fan Land needs something to do... It used to have tons of topics and participation.

The SI Official Book of Poems was published in Fan Land on May 20th, 2005. A year or so later, I'm ready to try and rally you all to send in new poems for Edition II. The original Book was a success- We had about 8 great writers who contributed over 20 spectacular poems. Hopefully Edition II will be just as great.

---------------------------------------------------------

Now, here's what you need to do to enter/contribute.

> Your poems may be any length, type, etc. etc.
> Each poet may enter 1-5 poems. No more than 5 please.
> To submit your poems, send a Message to 'ECKNON' entitled 'BoP,' or 'SI BoP.'

---------------------------------------------------------

Take a look back at SI Official Book of Poems for an example of what you will be taking part in.

---------------------------------------------------------

PS: If we do not meet the following requirements, the book will be called off until a later time.

> Atleast 5 contributing poets.
> Atleast 12 poems.

---------------------------------------------------------

# of Poets: 3
# of Poems: 6

I'm not a poet but this is a great suggestion. Give it a whirl people!

Topic pinned because it's just that awesome, and I just might need to add to its awesomeness by contributing a poem or two.

[Ecknon]

C'mon! Contribute people.

My poetry was never very good. Of course it didn't flat out suck eather. So I guess I'll give it a shot. I'd love to bring Fanland back to it's former glory, or at least something similar to it.

PS: Don't worry, I'll spellcheck all my poems (we all know my spelling sucks).

Im not good at poems either, but making a poetry book is pretty neat.

[Ecknon]

Just posting again to bump the thread and hopefully get it some more attention.

Also, a reminder. Less than 13 days remain, so try and get those poems in so I can see how many more we actually need.

I may have to increase the deadline if we don't meet the requirements.

Sorry I've been doing different things, but unfortunately we're gonna have to either call this off or extend the deadline.

I think we should keep the topic up and hopefully wait for more submissions.

You got my conributions some time ago, Ecks. I await your reply.

I am very highly disappointed to see this dead in the water. Fan land has been in a sludge for a long time, and it seems like whenever a member takes an active stab at reviving it, we all end up failing to achieve that goal. It makes me sad, cause this is one of the best forums on the boards. This needs to be fixed.

I'd love to post this up, but as of now I have a total of 4 poems. That isn't barely enough, and compared the the last Edition, this will be terrible if we don't get more. So I won't post it, unless I get some more poems.

C'mon people!

[homEsick]

ah. i didnt really notice this until now. i'll contribute. do you have another date specified?

is there any specific theme or topic?

[Ecknon]

Hey everyone.

I've been lurking for some time now, and I've just realized that this thread is still here.

I received a bit more contributions, but not where I want us to be. So, I've updated the status. It still isn't great. If you are a poet and have 3-5 poems, it's easy - copy + paste them to me. The least you can do! We need life in Fanland again! I'd like to see some more contributions, please! I'm still willing to work on this if everyone else is.
