Speculations

I just discovered something I find rather sad. One of my favorite writers resources from long ago in undergrad (and when did that become long ago, I ask you?!) was a forum called Speculations. It felt like they'd been around forever and always would be. They were going strong when I drifted away, and whenever I remembered to pop back by they were still going strong. But now, no. The site still exists and it might even be usable for some networking since they have a set up for Twitter, Livejournal and MyBlogLog. But the lovely forum with all its threads, from the lively debates about current trends in fantasy to the daily writer's posts of how many words you've written today, just to keep you honest--all that is gone, and that I'll miss.
