A fun place to play

[hrj]

Some time ago, I started reading the Making Light blog, because a number of people I admired on rec.arts.sf.composition had been mentioning it (and, in some cases, had more or less left rasfc to go hang out there instead). It took me quite a while to work up the nerve (and find the right context) to post some comments there myself, since it has a very definite feel of a tight-knit community and ... well, you know me and how talented I am at breaking into new social circles. (Not.) But periodically there are random creative-writing threads where people start riffing on some theme and you just have to stare in awe at the casual talent abounding there. (This is somewhat of a self-serving observation, given that it was a couple of these threads that finally gave me an opening to contribute and introduce myself there.) Currently, there is a thread that ... well, to say anything more specific in advance would spoil some of the fun. But I shall merely say that if you like literature and poetry and have a playful sense of humor, you are unlikely to hate me if you follow my suggestion to check it out.

Hee, hee! I loved your poem. :)

I have to admit I only venture into Making Light occasionally when following links such as this one. I spend too much time online as it is and I do find the contributors very intimidating.

You, particularly, might also enjoy my second inspiration at #148.
