Thanks to a donation from
janetmiles, "
Landfather" is now complete. Read about settling in with the new baby.
"
Picking and Pecking" has 17 new verses. Feathered evidence of shared ancestors drives people to violence and self-destruction.
So we're back down to two open epics, counting "
Strange Gratitudes." That means it's okay if anyone wants to start mincrofunding a new one. And yes, finishing a current epic is a good and useful application of resources; new material is available for sponsorship but donations toward older poems count toward the tally as long as it comes in prior to the deadline at the end of Friday.
