For those unaware, the email system broke down last year, and the last full month where it really worked was in March '22. So for YWS to bounce back so strongly is pretty big, and that's due to everyone here.

Really looking forward to a great April, and to checking out all the NaPo threads. If you haven't started yours yet, get on it!

Have you wanted to try out poetry but are to devoted to your current story or roleplay?
Why not do both with some
#characterpoems !

Expand you're small garden to a full orchard by creating a poem from the POV of/ or inspired by your favorite character/OC!

What would your favorite character write about? Angsty parental problems, Annoying quests, annoying people, best friends, found family, significant other? It's all up to you!

Just write a poem, from the perspective of you main character, OC, and post it with the hashtags #characterpoems #NaPo

Have fun!
