Coming to this web SiteWelcome to the place where The Muses give you a sneak peak at some of the exciting and worthwhile features that The Muses have in store for you at Electricka's web site. On these pages, The Muses present synopses of new features that may be added to this web site in the future and of existing features that may be augmented or changed in significant ways. about this featureFeature additions and improvements are coming your way from Electricka via ETAF Staff. No promises, but the features cited on this page will give you a glimpse of the future. They are either under serious consideration by ETAF Staff or they're being planned or worked on even now. None of the features in these pages can now be seen at this site, but stay tuned; they may well show up, some sooner, some later. Keep coming back to this page for news about the latest plans and developments. Electricka's web site is brand spanking new. Even the page you're now reading is new. So for the time being we'll just wait 'til the dust settles down before we add anything more to this page. Please bear with us. Thanks for your patience!Works Done, Redone, and overdoneRedos in the arts are bold and risky undertakings. Why attempt to rework, repeat, or outdo the work of a master? Electricka and her cohort muses offer examples of works of art that have been done, redone, and overdone. In each case, they assess how well the redo turned out and ask whether it was wise to attempt it in the first place. As a whole, are redos a good idea or just a waste of talent?
Chat Rooms for ETAF Visitors
PollsThe Muses want to know what visitors think about a variety of subjects ranging from desirable new features to their opinions and preferences about the arts. Visitors are also interested in what other visitors have to say about many of these subjects. Polls about visitor ideas, opinions, and other issues will be taken as circumstances warrant. New polls are added and old polls removed as conditions dictate. Polls appear on the pages where they are relevant. One of the most common places for polls to appear are at discussion groups at Electricka's Forums. Polls are designed to be quick and easy to answer; they are structured in the form of questions that call for simple answers, such as yes/no or a preference number on a scale of one-to-ten. Results are revised instantly when a visitor votes and posted on the fly.
SurveysWe want to get to know you as a group so we can serve you better. Surveys are conducted on specific topics as they are needed. Surveys differ from polls in that they are in greater depth and the results are not published unless and until analysis is done. Depending an their objectives, polls may be directed toward specific visitor populations.
literary terminologyExamples of literary terminology are words like meter, form, sound (rhyme), and figures of speech. Each of these words is generic in that there are particular kinds and types—different meters, forms, sound schemes, and figures of speech. For example, there are poetic forms, narrative forms, and other kinds of forms. One kind of poetic form is rhyming couplets; another is blank verse. All works of literature incorporate different sorts of these technical elements and any particular work can by analyzed and understood by the way it does this. Writing literature is not a haphazard undertaking; a piece of literature is not good or bad by accident, but rather by its proper choice of different elements and how skillfully it incorporates them. For example, different rhyme schemes and meters are appropriate for different purposes; a dirge should not employ a cheerful meter or uplifting sound scheme. In these pages, The Muse Of Literature defines these terms and explores these distinctions.
Technical Aspects of literatureThe feature called Literary Terminology is one aspect of a broader feature which The Muse Of Literature calls Technical Aspects Of Literature.
