I believe Medium should have a separate platform for creative writers of poetry, short stories, fiction etc. These pieces tend to get lost in the sea of other stories and articles.
I joined Medium to improve my writing skills. I believe we all should have a space to share what we would like to write about (with or without MPP). However, I don't think it all belong in the same space.
I reached out to Ev Williams about this very issue. Perhaps one day there will be a platform strictly for creatives. Or perhaps you could create it Thomas, why wait for Ev, thoughts?
