http://www.asheresque.com/BoardArchive/
I'm finding lots of material I wrote a long time ago, back when some of us first met. Wow! It's been a long time, huh? 2001- 2004. I'm trying to remember what year I hit that board. I see mtmynd and buddhabitch (sooZen) and judih back in 2001. I'm pretty sure I was one of the early ones, too. .... YES! I see me... July 2001.
i'm going to start there and go through the boards to find pieces I wrote on the fly and never saved. I'm so glad this board is archived though the navigation is wonky as hell... you can't click down the threads.... but oh well. It's all there.
Were you there? Lose anything you'd like to save? Come and get it!
For those of you who aren't familiar with litkicks, it was a great site where many of us met and there's a lot of great poetry and conversations at the above link so enjoy poking around.
I do enjoy reminiscing from time to time but mostly this time, I'm just looking for my own work.
Do you save everything you write?
Or do you post on the internet straight into the posting window without saving it?
I've done both and I definitely prefer saving it. I used to be impeccable with my filing and date and sign each poem I wrote.
I need to get back to that. My archives on my computer are a mess.

1999 my first year
the archives only go back 2001
What I want to find is a poem by yabyum
in reply to one of firecrackers posts
she was going on about somethihg
she sounded pretty bummed out
and yabyum had a line in that poem
something like
"i know the location of every crumb of happiness that has fallen through the cracks"
It seemed to cheer her up
I know it did me. I asked him about the poem
to repost it
but he said he did not save any of the stuff he posted there
it was all spontaneous.
Anybody finds it
I sure would like to read it again
also I would like to reread some of CItizen Army's posts
that guy reminded me of perezoso
he too seemed to have a fascination with my dear dead mother's anus.

it started before 1999
way before that
1999 was when I stumbled on it
I think it started 1994-95
Cecil would know, he goes way back.

Oh I know the site started way before that.
I'm talking about the interactive boards.
Before the boards, there was just a bunch of Beat info, articles and stuff.
Interactive boards didn't start until 2000 or 2001 I don't think...
They were relatively new when I got there. There were only a handful of people posting.

No I was there in 1999
We were all talking about Y two K
I am sure of that.
I am also sure that the world is flat
that there is a hole at the north pole where the munckins come out to play

Literary Kicks was founded in July 1994 by Levi Asher, then a struggling writer bored by his tech job at the headquarters of the JP Morgan bank on Wall Street. Operated surreptitiously from Asher's cubicle as he pretended to work on PowerPoint presentations, LitKicks quickly became a popular online destination and critic's favorite, also gaining wide usage on college campuses around the world.

OK. Thanks... was typing and posting while you were. I see the link now where they introduced the boards in 1999.
What about the lost poetry?
How many people don't save their work? Do you type straight into the posting window and just let it go, never to find it again? Or do you save your work? How well do you archive your own material?
When you save it, do you date it so you will know when you wrote it? Do you save it by year? By month?

I don't know what you mean by "blow them away"? You mean you delete them, westie?
I am angry at myself for not keeping better track of what I've written. I really wish I'd saved it all, dated it all. I got sloppy.
I suggest you don't depend on the web because sites disappear all the time.... go out of business. It's amazing to me that the site I linked to archived all that material, because when they changed their format and the interactive boards disappeared, they could have easily just decided not to host the old stuff any more. That's why I'm going to go through and find my stuff and copy it and save it before it's gone.
There are definitely no guarantees.
I can't guarantee Studio Eight will be here tomorrow. Well, yeah, that's stretching it. It should be here tomorrow. I paid for hosting for another year. After that? Well, I hope to keep it going but I can't guarantee it.
Save your stuff.
And thanks for your reply!

yes, i meant delete.
well, i guess i should save some of my work. the better pieces.
i travel light through life. and in the end, you can't take it with you.
i know lots of writers write to be published, that has never been a goal of mine.
good luck with archiving your wonderful work Doreen. certainly, you have expended tremendous effort with great results over the years and should be proud of the volumes you have produced.
They are worth sharing.
