I just found this post, which I apparently wrote on August 6th, and have no memory of at all. I do remember ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
thisbluespirit doing the poetry meme again, and me thinking what a good idea that was; but it's news to me that I actually did it! Anyway, it's a simple enough endeavour (and I recommend it). You write down five fandoms, and then go here, and write down the fifth line of the random poem that you land on - whatever it is, and believe me, there's some doozies. Then hit refresh a few times until you've got five. Use them as inspiration for a ficlet for each fandom. Usually you'll end up with at least four poems by Emily Dickinson, but try not to find it too disheartening. The internet has always been obsessed with her.
(Not posting for two months isn't one of the rules, incidentally. That just happened, for reasons. Mostly involving stupidity.)
