erasureathon - signups last until July 25th
I know, I know, it took me forever to properly pimp this, but I keep forgetting that I only mentioned this once. I know a lot of you answered yes on the poll I made a while back, so hopefully if you haven't signed up yet you will! It's multi-fandom, too.
Erasure poetry is made when the poet selects a written work, removes parts, and what is left is the poem. It’s an excavation, an unfolding, a division, a recreation, a transformation. Your final product can be radically different from your original source – in fact it is bound to. Its final form can look like anything you want it to – Jan Bervin leaves all the text visible but makes the "erased" parts grey (an example is in the Radi Os link below), Ronald Johnson visually erases text entirely and leaves the gaps where they are so that the poem is made of words that float on the page, Tom Phillips paints art over the erased portions and leaves the text circled in little rivers that direct the flow of the reading. -
zempasuchil The only requirements are an LJ, an email, and at least 2,000 words of fiction in any one fandom.
