Do you have an article in want of comments? Is it a poem of some length? Perhaps you penned a recipe with no exotic ingredients? How about a book review on a book no one will ever read but you? Oh, it is a short story with small font? Wait a minute, I . . .

Do you have an article in want of comments? Is it a poem of some length? Perhaps you penned a recipe with no exotic ingredients? How about a book review on a book no one will ever read but you? Oh, it is a short story with small font? Wait a minute, I know, you wrote an obscure political article, didn't you? Maybe you wrote a confessional about your disease, and although you are no doubt suffering, unfortunately the symptoms are dull; no body parts are going to fall away nor is your skin going to scale off.

Do you love this article? I can see you nodding your head. Did you spend some time on it? Wow, two months trying to find the right word to rhyme with purple! Are you afraid that since it doesn't have 'Gather' in the title it will never make the coveted 100 most read list? Actually, I'm telling you right now, it's not going to make it, so project those hopes on a good community college. Do you want at least one person to look at it and say 'hey I read it?' At this point, you feel they don't even have to say they liked it, you just want someone to say they have been there. Well my friends, this group is for your orphan articles! This is the home of 'Little Articles that Have No Comments.'

This group doesn't judge, it doesn't try to give you hints on why your 'Exclusive Interview with your local Channel Two Weatherman' just isn't selling to the community. Besides, you might have a gem on your hands, a little Mark Twain worthy foible that just needs space to sparkle. The truth of the matter was that it grew too fast from the most recent articles page and didn't have a time to build a following. We understand and we want to help.

Here at 'Article Adoption Group' we will give your article a chance to thrive. There will be no competition with point whoring articles because we know your article is in fact, a little, how should I put this, limp in the point department. I beg for popular writers to please join, but be aware that once your clever utterances have reached four comments, then they have to go to make room for other articles. In other words, a rejection e-mail from this group should be celebrated!

So please, if you have articles that are the red headed step children to your dry Gather inspired observations, send them here. Don't let them rot next to an article allegedly written by a cat. Dust them offÂ…let them shine. We can't guarantee they will be commented on, but we won't reject them until they are.
