I would also love to see something more communal, like a news roundup, such as what’s gotten funding, what’s new, what’s hot, as well as the normal updates I get. Also pieces from the publishing world outside Inkshares would be useful, and current events that affect us as writers. As much as the community driven feel of Inkshares is great, more input from Inkshares themselves would be very beneficial.

I’ve been meaning to add another comment to this post for awhile. Looking back at the Inkshares Contest history, there have been 13 contests over a 3 year period. That is a lot(!), when you consider that most sites that offer writing contests only occur once, maybe twice, per year. The most notable exception to this would be the Writers of the Future contests which are quarterly.

Addressing some of the posts below about the site being dead, I disagree. I just think that the staff have taken on too many projects too quickly. My intent in starting this thread was the hope that I could persuade the Inkshares team to devote someone to provide at least monthly updates on what’s happening.
