Poetry Fishbowl Update

The Call for Themes is still open if you want to suggest topics for early 2026. Now's the time, because I hope to post the poll on Thursday.

I'd love to see a fishbowl dedicated to series and/or characters that have been somewhat forgotten or otherwise not as recently active as the more popular threads. There was a time when "Path of the Paladins" and "Fiorenza the Wise Woman" would have frequent new contributions; and even within extremely popular settings like "Polychrome Heroics" -- which started with a focus on a single character, Damask, now rarely mentioned -- it's been ages since we've seen Stalwart Stan and Antimatter, let alone the set of 3 younger sisters from one of their families. And these are only the ones that spring from the top of my head, I'm sure there are countless others. Hosting a revival would give newer readers an opportunity to encounter these for the first time, and remind older fans of some of what brought them to you in the first place. "Kung Fu Robots", anyone? "P.I.E."? What's Mallory up to, or Officer Pink?

Anybody else want to come to this party?

I like this idea! I always get so focused on my favourites (mostly Shiv, Dr. Infanta, and Aquarianna) that I sometimes forget to prompt for other things that I enjoy reading.
