For all of the latest information, as this competition unfolds, you can check back here each week or check out the official 2016 Pubber of the Year Book.

Lastly, our 200 Poem Challenge is still going strong. Bill has decided, after already reaching the goal of 200 poems, to continue on and try for 400! We also have had some one new take on the challenge, @AmbergrisJane. Let's all show her some love and cheer her on! Here is the full list of participants to date:

@BillTemple1957
@MystresMyna
@Ms_Meg
@MeghanBarnhouse
@Anjalisinha
@AutumnElf555
@TheWizardStyles
@AmbergrisJane

It is still not to late to take on this challenge.  I have to say that it has certainly been a rewarding experience for myself.  It is not about quality so much as it is about quantity and just getting the words out of your head and on paper. It is an amazing journey and you never know where it will take you until you try, so feel free to join us!!  Just be sure to add the tag #200poemchallenge to your book so we can find it.

NEW BUSINESS:

One of the things I would like to do for the Chatter, is to interview some of the members of the Pub.  I was hoping I could get some suggestions from all of you, on who you would like me to do an interview with.  Leave your suggestions in the comments or send them to my by private message.
