Chained: calling the thirteen

I hope no one is superstitious—we’ve ended up with thirteen players, unless I hear from someone else in the very near future.

But, before I get to the list, I have something important to ask you.

When Andy Meyer and I set up Chalkboard, we envisaged that everyone could write an individual link in a poem and submit them to our publication, and we’d publish all the links on the tab.

But then we realised you might like to share your work further, especially for forms like this cinquain chain where each stanza could equally well be published on its own, in a variety of different publications. So, for now, the Chained tab is just the single post, where I’ll add each cinquain stanza as it gets published—wherever it gets published.

So…which version do you like better? Do you want to submit your stanzas to Chalkboard, or would you like the flexibility to submit them elsewhere?

Let me know, so I can make the change. If you don’t feel strongly either way, let me know that, too. And, without further ado:
