Two of the categories for JPF awards are Storytelling and Spoken Word. Is it possible to create a forum for these artists?

We used to have a rule that at least 10 people who had need of a new board had to agree to use it regularly to get action going. The exception was the chapter boards which we had trouble ever getting people to use most of the time. So if you know people who do that specifically and would use the board, I would consider it. However we simply don't have enough new posters to pull that off anymore unless you go find them. Also, we don't, as you've noticed, have specific boards for any of the other 100+ genres we've recognized in the awards. So to start with that one, we might be then faced with 10 more requests for genre specific. Historically, we tried to keep people mixing and working together. I know on the Lyric boards, for a time, people used to put the intended genre for the lyrics, same with the mp3 board, but as traffic fell off for mass social media, that stopped as well. Is there something about your genres that require a separate place to post the words or the performances than the mp3, lyric and video boards? I am always open to trying something, but you might currently be the only nominee in those genres posting here. In the past prior to Facebook we used to have a much larger daily post count and needed back then 3 lyric boards just to keep lyrics from falling off the first page of 50 the same day. Those days are long gone sadly, but if you think you know folks looking to use the space actively, I welcome more participation.
