    +1 for me too. There wasn't a plan to delete the website and the address list once February was over, was there? I was going to keep dipping into it whenever I felt like writing a letter. People are certainly welcome to keep writing to me afterwards!
    "What are moon-letters?" asked the hobbit full of excitement. He loved maps, as I have told you before; and he also loved runes and letters, and cunning handwriting, though when he wrote himself it was a bit thin and spidery.

    +1 again also for me. Hope InCoWriMo goes on for more months. I guess that would make it InCoWriMoMo.
    Works for me, although I don't have an actual Momo.

    Sounds like a great idea. I wasn't planning to stop either, primarily for those who are also wanting to write.

    I'm against the idea of pushing INCOWRIMO further than the end of march max.If you do so, there wont be anything special when february 2014 will come. To turn this into a full year event is like asking christmas to be everyday , get the point?

    I would also delete the mailing list on INCOWRIMO at the end of the month.

    Maybe you have a point. But I would argue that the point of InCoWriMo is to encourage MORE postcards and letters to be sent; it is not supposed to stay contained. But I think more hidden address access would be a good idea.

    I've been thinking about this, too--something like InCoWriMo for the rest of the year, but without the "one letter per day" quota. Let's save that for February of each year. I really like the idea of a permanent correspondence forum. Just be sure to hide those addresses from search engines, or otherwise figure out a way to keep them non-public, and that'd be good.

    I am tempted to write both of you in April to see what you will do. I double-dog dare you to carry out these egregious acts of blasphemy. :what::banghead:

    You should have them post up videos as evidence too.

    Back to topic for a moment, I cast my vote in favor of maintaining a regular spot for the discussion of correspondence, against on-going challenges, and in favor of keeping addresses in a walled garden with member-only access.

    Remember: Fountain pens don't write letters. People with fountain pens write letters.

    Or...maybe the challenges from month to month could change. So February would be "write one letter a day" month. Maybe another month could be something like, "pick a favorite quote of yours and mention it somewhere in a letter" month. Maybe another month could involve talking about the latest book we've read, or our favorite book. Or another month could be "handwrite at least one Facebook (or Twitter or Google+) status per day, photograph it, and show it off on your timeline or profile" month. So challenges of some kind could still be there, or maybe writing prompts or themes of some kind. Quotas or limits don't have to be the only kinds of challenges that can be involved with something like this.
