For now, PoetryPlease and ProsePlease are closing their membership doors. Don't worry, we are still alive and kicking, we're just anticipating the move to *LITplease in the near future. Instead of continuing to add more names to the memberlist just to re-add them later, we'll be closing our membership doors until after Christmas. There won't be any members-only contests in the interim anyway. In the meantime, members may continue to do everything as usual--all our projects are still wide open for your participation!

PoetryPlease has announced its new contest: Inside the Glass House. Go fave the news article and start writing your entries. Take you time writing something fantastic--the entries aren't due until November 30th!

The featured entry for challenge #43 was Songbird by ~Evil-laughterdotcom. The last stanza will blow you away!

If you want to see your poem featured in our favorites, participate in Challenge #44 this month and you may just be selected as the best!

*TheFavoritesProject needs another staff member to make suggestions for poems to feature and vote on the list of poems suggested. The project usually requires minimal time commitment, just a couple of hours a month to vote and how ever many you choose to devote to finding worthwhile poetry to suggest. If you're interested in applying, please send your note expressing so directly to *TheFavoritesProject account.
