Membership of Real Toads
I often receive queries as to what membership of Real Toads entails.
First and foremost, being a member of this site, as opposed to being a follower, means that a blog poet has committed themselves to actively participating in and contributing to this site. This can take the form of responding to the prompts and challenges, reviewing and commenting on the writing of other members, supporting new writers, and joining in discussions.

Several members have indicated that they would like to contribute a regular post to Real Toads and these appear on a two weekly basis. If at any time that member feels their idea has run its course, they may opt out, and the opportunity will be given to another member who has a new idea to share.
Having said this, we acknowledge that every member is a poet by choice and not profession, thus time is often limited by other factors. No member should feel compelled to do everything - all we ask is consistent contribution. If it has been noted that a member's interest in the site has waned, his or her membership will be offered to someone else without prior notice, since we have limited membership to 25 people.
If a poet is interested in becoming a member at this time, it should be noted that there are few spaces available. Therefore, it would be advisable to become a Follower of the Blog and get actively involved, because preference will be given to people who support the endeavours of Real Toads.
The purpose of this site is to encourage writers and stimulate interest in poetry and poets. We gladly welcome visitors and followers to participate in any prompts and all that is on offer here on a daily basis. We are here to write and share.
My thanks go out to all the wonderful people who have brought the idea of Real Toads to life.
