Edgar Allan Poe fan club

Information

We shiver with delight at the tintinnabulation of The Bells. We swoon For Annie and sigh for Annabel Lee. We are drunk on Amontillado as we laugh at the Angel of the Odd or Why the Little Frenchman Wears is Hand in a Sling. We are mesmerized by one of the greatest American writers in history.....forevermore.

Comment by Arabella Porter on February 15, 2013 at 10:17pm: I see, I was just making sure that if anyone wanted to post a discussion, they could do so. I'm rather new at creating groups, you see. It causes me to get a tad bit paranoid about if I'm doing things correctly. :3 Sorry.

Comment by Arabella Porter on February 15, 2013 at 7:02pm: I'm just making sure that everything is all set. Is there an "+ add a discussion" button on the bottom of the discussions box at all? I'd like all members to be able to post discussions. ^^
