T O P I C R E V I E WpixelpixieI'm just curious... I swear, everytime I come here to see some awesome writing and read creativity, they've been edited away!!!!It's so sad.I have things left here from 2004!!! It's nice to see old writing, and I wish people would keep their words here as a record of where they were- writing is a cathartic process, and I would really love to be able to share and learn and read.Don't be shy! Leave up your poetry!!!!blugreyI don't like to keep them up for privacy. If people want another look I don't mind reposting, but for the most part, I just want to keep it as my own.pixelpixieYeah *wistful sigh* I guess... I swear, the other day I was here and every post I clicked on, it was erased. I thought it was some new trend.I have erased some super personal or stupid impulsive ones....but I try so hard to overcome that insecure voice, and just let it be, even if I'd like to fix a million things about it.future_uncertainI deleted all of mine when I entered some of them in writing contests at school. I have to assume that they could be cross-checked to ensure authorship and I was worried a google search might lead here, which would result in a lot of personal info getting into the wrong hands. It bums me out when I see that an intriguing post has been deleted, so it was disappointing for me to make the decision I did. I still feel it had to be done, but I kind of miss being a part of the fabric here.pixelpixieYeah- You're so big time.. you won, didn't you? Of course you did. You write spectacularly! Seriously. Always moving and incredible!future_uncertainAck! Yeah, I did win, but I didn't mean to imply that I was big time. What I meant is that the university takes plagiarism pretty seriously, and it's common practice to google snippets of submissions to ensure authenticity. Anyway, the thought made me a bit paranoid-- enough that I didn't want a trail. pixelpixieNo, I said that- like "You're big-time baby!" It was a compliment.Because you are!See? Of course you won!!!GypseeWindDamn google. Seriously, don't google your name, unless you have a glass of wine or something first. EEEK.I almost erased tons of stuff that I've written here, and about half of my pic off of photobucket, but in the end, I felt like Pixel,I mean, this IS my life.I DID do the stuff I wrote about, so, it's part of the journey, and if someone reads it and judges me, well then, I guess they've never been humanORthey've never been brave enough to talk about it!But, I do understand the poetry stuff.I only put a slim, tiny bit of mine up.The ones I do have on here throughout time look nothing, or very far from what they look like nowbecause I have posted them here before revision.Something about seeing it in black and white LIVE helps with the revising, I think.Congrats Future, on your contest! pixelpixieTrue dat! I embarrass myself right out of my head, but you know? I learned from all of it.SunChildI've googled people before and sometimes if something is gone, I've used the 'cached version' on google and sometimes it is still there! Or archive.orgJust thought I'd mention that. RandallGoogle spiders us constantly.RandallIt's one of the perks/perils of being such a popular site.------------------"To avoid criticism, say nothing, do nothing, be nothing." Aristotle
