You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
I know some people around here signed up for it. Elena? Kristen? Lizard?
I would have loved to. Unfortunately, I haven't written enough stories to qualify.
You know, can I just say? Seeing as my prose is nothing but shit any more, I really wish there were a viable, exciting, brilliant, world of fan poetry comparable to ficdom. I could do so well....

No, that's what I meant, I'm just being a bitch. I've read very little good fan poetry, and I've read *one* fan poem that made me go "wow, I wish I could do that". And that even doesn't really count, because it was a sonnet cycle about The Gift. Which, while an amazing effort, it's not the kind of writing I'm into doing myself.
Whereas for fic *daily* I read stories that make me *ache* with the desire to be able to kick that much ass. Stories that could have very easily been written by fiction-writing professionals; stories by people who are better than I am and better maybe than I'll ever be.
I love fandom, and ficdom. I'm in love with it so much I think about it daily, and I'd like nothing better than to do well in it, have the people I respect and admire respect me in return. Isn't that a basic desire in any field? But I'm put out because (right now at least) my prose is not amazing or even very good. My poetry *is* very good-- I believe that. I wish I had the opportunity to contribute to fandom, which I love so much, in the way fic-writers do, with the thing I am strong at. But there's really no market that I've seen of yet.
