To all of the living poet society members still watching, I would like to apologize on two main accounts.

The more obvious of the two is negligence. The main cause of that negligence, however, is the fact that people began not participating or being a part of this club. However (yes, again), the main reason people began losing interest in the LPS was me and my stipulations.

I am exceedingly sorry for the ideas I executed, without thinking entirely through, about required commenting and exclusivity. Both of these are against the grain of what we are about as LPS members, as writers, and as deviants.

Commenting needs to be encouraged, yes, but never forced or checked up on like homework. All of the previous restrictions, therefore, are officially repealed, and features will begin immediately next week again.

I heard recently about how the writing community on dA was beginning to deteriorate, and having once had some influence here, I felt obligated (and inspired)to come and pitch in. Suggestions are open via note (or comment) to the LPS, or to my personal account. More news will follow.

Writers: welcome back.
