In the world of kbin where the stories lie,
and where users let the pesky bots to die,
you can find many different jolly magazines,
to enjoy everything for weeks and weeks.

At this time of the year a celebration arrives.
Christmas comes, postponing weeps and cries.
It tries to close in, into every heart and
soul,
with lots of sweets and candy it fills up the bowls!

But is Christmas truly welcome at kbin’s doors?
you see - one thing is missing on these floors!
We do not have a place for Christmas to stay!
We don’t have a magazine for it, at this day!

Who among us will be the One, the brave soul?
Who will create the magazine, to undo this foul?
Who will save our Christmas in our fediverse?
It needs to belong also in our growing universe!

In Field of Dreams the ghost voice says "If you build it, they will come.", but fails to say "Oh yeah, you have to look after it once you've done that. You're gonna need a ride-on mower."

Like many folks on aggregator sites, I'd create magazines / communities / sub-sites if it didn't mean I then had to manage and moderate them afterwards. (There are many things in life that fit this pattern.)

Rhyme criticism:

  • "-zines" and "weeks" is, well, weak.

  • "Arrives" and "cries" is slightly better, but not by much.

  • "Soul" and "foul" don't rhyme either, despite appearances.

Then again, maybe it's my own accent that's spoiling these?

@palordrolap
oh, the rhymes are quirky, and filled with joy :)

yes, creating a magazine is the easy part, whereas maintaining a magazine is a matter of discipline
