PRE-EMPTIVE TLDR NUTSHELL
TECHNICAL
Every Sunday this article will aim to promote volunteer opportunities, various resources, prompts, challenges, and workshops, as well as highlighting various contests, and spotlighting a specific group or project for two weeks. This is by no means a complete list of all the literature going-ons, merely a tool to help you get involved and stay informed.
Oh yes, and I've moved over most of the resources exclusively to #LITplease's Community Portal, but labeled it with a nice big heading and link to the current one. Hope everything is clear enough! ♥
Don't be afraid to ask questions! Everyone here is nice and happy to answer any questions you have. [Trust me, I know.]
Oh, for you poets out there, there was even a Poetry Forms week a while back.

First PlaceWaterI lap at your feet, welcoming you into my depths.
Seducing your toes to step closer, wade further
It’s a cool day, and I offer warmth and comfort
Begging you to swim, even though you know
I know
That danger lurks with me
I entice your senses,

Runner UpDandelionDandelionEverything was ready. Most importantly, all of us had prepared our parachutes to catch the wind. We had been that way for quite a while.
Now all was left was to wait for the wind itself, and that gust of air was certainly taking its time. There were a number of us who had become very frustrated at how long it was taking, but it was not as if the forces of nature ever had to listen to what we thought. Like its peers, the air currents came and went as it pleased.
Not that I particularly minded that. Some of my siblings were a little more impatient, but they were the optimistic lot who did not think that anything could ever go wrong.

Honorable MentionEmbryonicLying on my side
Knees drawn to chest
And arms curled around my knees
The soft thick blue padding
On which I lay warms
And yet cools my naked skin
Through my lithium fueled eyes
And Thorazine slowed brain
I notice ever so slowly that
I am surrounded with
And floating on and in blue softness
Everything I see is water like blue
As blue as stilled pond water
Water so heavy that I float listlessly
On its surface yet feel also like I am sinking
Sinking and floating so effortlessly
This injection that sent me back to the womb
Where my mind begins to format itself
A sudden sharp pain opens my eyes
And my mind to this cocoon like e
