I am the former administrator for ~poetic-forms. I could not get in touch with the last person in charge of the club, so I decided to just start another called ~versebyverse. I wanted to personally invite you to join. All you need to do is devWatch the group. It will be set up very similar to how I set up poetic-forms, and I hope you'll be part of getting this off the ground!
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thanks,
~pamelaski
