Goodbye, lee17! If you start writing again, you can always come back. I think we have the same membership policy here as at poetryslamming; you are always a writer as far as we're concerned.

We have an open application with only three votes! If you've got some time this weekend, why not go vote on deep_inthe_high's two very short samples?
