fuck the Open Mic

If people need an incentive or a reason to write. Then they aren't writers at all, IMO. write because you love it. Not cause there's a prize at the end.

Why is dagel here?

I'll run a write week tonight.

Its all about feed. That's it. We have been running a lot of tourneys, though. That won't change with The Winter Topical and next AOWL season starting up.

Ive personally lost some interest in om. But its cyclical. Well be back.

That's all very well if you live in fairytale land playing hopscotch with Mary Poppins while the pixies dance around the campfire on a blissful summers eve, but in the real world people are lazy assholes with real lifes who may not care to write unless they are given a reason to do so.

It would be nice if people just wrote for the love of it, but they do not, so something needs to make them.

I'm assuming you were abused or molested growing up.

For one, I said chill or I'd do it and he free posted literally right afterwards. Two, its a soft delete. At any time it can be reopened. Calm down, black.

i didnt read any of this thread but yo

its 2014 bros

this website should have 1 forum. the discussion. you can then have subforums for tournaments and leagues, if your battling outside of a tournament or a league, you're a weirdo. if there isnt a tourney or league going on, something is wrong.

also as far as "open mics", "audios", "beats", "poems", whatever, it should just be posted in discussion.

those are my thoughts

I think newer people or even people that's been around for a year or two feel pressured to come up with this long and thought out bullshit response as to why they thought it was great, why tf can't we just say "that was great" and move tf on? I personally can't think of enough bullshit to fill a large response about some dudes drop. The honest truth is I don't give a fuck enough. Why should I? Why should anybody? Why do we need feedback? I certainly don't drop writtens for feedback. I do it cause I love writing, and idc if anyone likes it or not. Y'all should be like me

If you write because you love writing, and no other reason, then why not post it on a private Tumblr or in a rhyme book?

Because you want people to read & react to what you wrote

At a deeper level, some people want criticism on what could be improved in the drop

Even deeper, people want criticism of their writing style itself. Maybe even someone that tries to do an in depth critique of their work


If I could send my shit out to a literary critic and have them analyze it for free I would just do that.
