Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Creative writing/poetry meetups/readings?

Hi guys, I'm just wondering does anyone have information about any regular meetups that happen in Dublin, revolving around creative writing? I'm just starting out in it, but would like to go along and listen to some people reading out some pieces that they've written, etc. Have had a look on meetup.com, but don't see…

Hi guys,

I'm just wondering does anyone have information about any regular meetups that happen in Dublin, revolving around creative writing?

Have had a look on meetup.com, but don't see anything...

Do Boardsies do this at all?

Thanks

We did have a fairly regular meetup to critique each other's work. I'm not quite sure why it faded away.

One thing I would suggest is that poetry and fiction should be kept seperate. They are distinct types of writing. I feel reasonably confident doing a crit on a story or novel, but not on a poem.
