You know, a few posts have appeared in the last couple or four months about soulcast. They centered around where have all the scer's gone. Like it or not, the true life of a site is it's writers. People can write about anything and that's fine, but writing is the heart of blogging.
I've had a few conversations with some people on private messaging who used to write here often and they said sc doesn't spark their interest anymore, it doesn't challenge their mind.
There are relatively few people who even keep this place moving at all. I am subscribed to over 170 people and I've seen 16 hours between posts at times.
Do you remember moonriver's posts? The guy has a busy life and can't be on here, but man, I miss that writing.
Do you remember gingersoul's pieces on adventures in the Mediterranean and her fiction? She took you into another world.
Do you remember kruuyai's travelling stories? Who could not like those? She's still around in between moves and I think we might hear some more, I hope so.
Do you remember truthsayer's Cosmic Cafe?
Do you remember secretlife's writing, especially stories of her early years? She's another that can take you into another world.
Do you remember Ed's 'On the nature of' and his posts to get people to write their fiction?
Do you remember hunter boyce chandler?
There were so many more. Post after post of writing that could keep a person entertained, their mind active, challenging everyone to want to comment, to get involved.
There were people who wrote their fiction, who wrote poetry, who wrote adventures, so many of them who are not named here. Where are they?
There is writing talent on this site, I know there is, there has to be.
We are still losing people, slowly you can see them drift away. How sad.
I've seen new people come in and write a few good things, then leave. Why?
I guess I'm having a bad day. This site has done so much for me in the last two years. It has pleasantly occupied a large part of my time, and my mind. It has been like watching a dear friend slowly die.
And there is nothing I can do about it.
I can't write, I never could. I can contribute, but that's a small part. In two years I have what, eighteen pages of posts?
Pardon my pissiness. I'm really missing a lot of friends today.
Shit, but I long for those people.....
Shit, this is a plea.....
As someone who reads more than posts, and who cleans up her blog seasonally (leaving only the posts I like up and active) I can tell you that there is someone very creepy haunting the halls of soulcast.......and he is in the form of one "mixednuts"........ read entire post
Bring it on? Bring it on?? Mixednuts, you are clueless. Only the most naïve would tempt bringing on the storm, the force of nature, the merciless onslaught known as ---- (shhhh) I dare not speak the name for fear of SER (search engine revenge)... read entire post
