Cantr II Discussion Forum

I want to put together a collection of Cantr poetry...Can you PM me or e-mail me (cantr poetry in the subject line) your poetry...originals written by you? Please include a line or 2 allowing me to compile your poetry.

I've written one... I can't PM it now because I'm off to work real soon.

That same character also carries three poems written by a different character... do you want those as well?

Please only send what you yourself (your charrie) has written... I only want poetry originally written...and used within Cantr... and only poetry..not short stories or tales.

I suppose I should let it be known..that this is basically for my own enjoyment... as I love poetry...but I was also thinking of creating a webpage , that would display a few poems at a time...and change periodically...using the pen name and/or the authors name ..your choice...I was also thinking that this is something ( I disussed this with someone else...actually the credit is his) ...that maybe it could be posted within the webzine. (now my addition) ... Maybe post it without the pen name...and have a 'puzzel' per-say where you need to guess the charri who penned it? The author would give me 3 facts about the charri..(be discrete) Then a post can be entered here as to who you think the author is.. could be interesting... These MUST be original to yourself...and NOT be someone elses works...(please)

(Added...maybe a per issue poll as to which was your favorite? Should this be done with or without the pen name?)

I can't wait to see some in the Webzine Maybe we could have Sunni's Poetry Corner, where she goes through the back libraries and the bars to find the bards with the best poems, songs and tunes!

I would go with the latter idea, where we can vote per issue which our favorite poem is, but give credits to who contributed the piece for which character (unless they want to be unknown).

Is Kronos still playing? There was lots of poems in Seatown Lakeside but I never really read them... But then he made that poem for Hannah when her husband to be had fallen under the sleeping spell, never to wake up again...

Yes, finding (and getting permission to use) some of this poetry might be difficult. I can't think of a single poet I know in game now, but there used to be tons of them. And some poems that my charries have been given, those chars are nowhere around now, so unable to ask them ooc'ly to submit. *ponders problem, wanting to submit some really good poetry*

I will try and donate, if poss

Please...only send what you yourself have written... If you know a charrie with poetry..encourage them to join the forum and submit it to me

He still plays.. and comes into chat

I will bounce a couple of Katrina's poems to you Sunni. She hasn't been writing much lately because I have been busy, but I would like to change that.

Does anyoneknow who plays the Wanderer of Siom Forest South? He wrotea really nice little ditty called "Poem of Siom Forest South ".

Actually, if he can't be tracked down, I reckon you could make an exception to your rule withthis one, Sunni, 'cos it absolutely HAS to be of Cantrian origin. No way could the "author" have ripped it off, as will be obvious to anyone who reads it.

I know OOC is frowned upon within game...but maybe a whispered OOC to encourage those who don't read the forums....I need poetry to do this...thus far I have 5 and my own....I need more pleeeease!!

It has been suggested that I read the poetry on the radio... If you have submitted already..and this is ok with you...send me a note saying it is...if you submitted poetry without giving me permission to use your poetry on a webpage (giving credit where credit is due of course!) then please send a note saying so.

Yeah, great idea! Just let us know when you do. And by the way, it's ok with me to read my stuff if you want!
