There were two posts that I got emails about but weren’t there when I looked on the website. There are no posts from last week listed on the Recent Activity page, so this appears to have happened to all posts from last week. I’ve checked on multiple networks and devices, so it seems like it would be like that for everyone.

At one point, I remember being interested to learn that ain’t stood for am not. I thought it may have become stigmatized because people used it in situations where they didn’t mean “am not”,

• ENFP – 6

@lady-iliara I’ve read that Steampunk is a subgenre of Speculative Fiction, specifically Science Fiction. Steampunk involves technology and alternative history which are science fiction concepts.

I’ve always liked writing fantasy because of The Chronicles of Narnia and The Lord of the Rings. I like how I can use my imagination to build my own worlds.
