Observations On The Vocal Pride Community

Introduction

I was wondering what to write about and thought I would look through the Vocal Communities. My usual posts are Poets and Fiction for creative works, then I do Beat, Confessions and Writers and after that Chapters, Art and various others.

I have posted in all forty eight Vocal communities and even the forty ninth Vocal community.

These are my baker's dozen so far in Pride

My Observations

Pride is the most undersubscribed community on Vocal which is a surprise to me, and there is barely a two to one ratio of stories to subscribers. I thought I had written a piece on the numbers in Vocal Communities but I cannot find it.

There are five creators who I see regularly posting there, so are they the only ones making up the numbers?

These are their Pride stories on their home pages:

Their combined ration is significantly more that two to one.

There are a lot of people supportive of the community, but I am surprised at how few contributors and stories there are, although if we look at how society is with people who do not fit media norms, maybe it is not surprising. Many of those issues are raised in the main book that I am reading at the moment:

When you think of Oscar Wilde, Alan Turing and the way women are treated since biblical times, although the Greeks seemed fine with letting someone love who they wanted to love, that may make people reticent to post in the community.

If you haven't posted there, please join one of Oneg's frequent challenges and help us swell the numbers.

Conclusion

Thank you for reading, and although this is not directly about PRIDE it is about the Vocal Pride community so I think that it does belong there.
