@ Hina; Nope. Its always a good idea to teach them sign language young so they can communicate with you better until they can actually vocalize their needs/wants. And we have a large deaf community where we're at so its never a bad thing to know.
@ losing control. Poe is amazing. He's my favorite poet next to Shell Silverstein tbh. Just comment on the contest when you want to enter. :D Ya know you could always finish your entry for the songfic contest and just replace it with my Poe contest.
I'm considering entering your first contest, but I need to write some entries for other contests before I dive into that. I don't know Poe that well, so I would want to do research before I try to write anything
