There are alot of new players out there who may not know this, as I have been slacking in my efforts :roll: (understatement)

Alot of you not so new players.... you already know this... so this is just a reminder... a challenge if you will.....

I collect poetry written by Cantr charaters. I use select poems to be published in Sunni's Poetry Corner of the webzine... "Stolen Notes"

It has been a long while since I have made a request for poetry, though a few of you still keep making me smile with your submissions. I want to try something new this time.....


I am looking for Cantr written poetry about travel on land... by foot, by bike, or by anything.. with... wheels? I wish to reserve boats and the sea for another topic.

This way, you now have a subject... write some poetry...(if your character writes poetry.... ) PM me the poem... by doing so, you are giving permissioon for me to submit it to the webzine..and only the webzine, using only the charater's name... identity of player is protected...

I am so looking forward to getting your entries....

Maybe I can make it a contest for a prize? Umm ... A hand made cantr postcard from Sunni? (sorry, I can't give away anything of real value .. .. no wait... these may be collectors items one day!!!!!! ) :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Anyways... have fun...

Hmmm... I can see if I can come up with anything. None of my characters travel much, except one of them, but he's a sailor. He writes stories and songs, not much poetry.

Songs are good :)

I can think of one really good one, but it wasn't written by my character, and I feel like it'd be up to the player of the character that wrote it.

My character, down on his luck,
Set off in a small pickup truck,
And made to confront a
Most vioolent junta,
And now in jail cries out: "I'm stuck!"

*throws a water balloon at Tiddy* Run run!

I had a character that would write poetry, but he was never confident in his writing, or himself in general really. After he would write something, he would "crumple" it all up. Really, I would just go through and deleted portions of random lines, so only a skeleton of the true piece remained.

The short stories were decent, but the poetry truely was terrible. I'm the poetry corner's worst nightmare.

I will see what I can do as well. One of my characters travels alot, and I am not too bad at writing poetry, so I will try something. ; )

No promises though, it might turn out to be terrible. :oops:

I was just informed the next release date is Oct 1st.... I need poetry submissions , written by a cantr charri, for publication in the "stolen Notes*... Remember, no one knows the player who submitted... all we publish is the charri name who wrote it!


C'mon... land travel is the theme... all poetry is good poetry!!! Dun be shy!!!

So how many have you got so far?

There may be one I wrote in Spanish still, but it's more like a political pamphlet.

I'm not sure since I lost some of the notes from that age.

Poems have to be your own...(written in game.) the only name that is printed with it .. is the charri name.. so it won't give away your character.... the ~only~ one who has any idea who the author is... is me... I would never tell... and never use that knowledge in game.... I am still in need of poetry for the new Zine!!! C'mon.... October it is due....

Sunni's Poetry Corner is in need of poetry about travel... by any means.. but by sea.... that is for an upcoming issue! PM me your poetry!!!! Words of wisdom... tales...
