Digital Redlining
Vocal likes to think of itself as one of the most politically correct and family friendly websites on the internet. It can point to its' highly developed and detailed censorship program, and the strictness with which it enforces the policies described therein as evidence of this. Despite this view however Vocal has a serious, very non-PC problem in its own backyard. It sits at the very foundation upon which the entire site is built, the so called writing "communities" where authors are forced to submit anything they wish to have published on this site. Simply put these communities are a form of digital discrimination. Their sole function is to exclude works which do not "fit" with their value and beliefs. To keep out anything different or threatening. To ensure only that which aligns with how they want to be viewed by the outside world is allowed to see the light of day. No author can opt out, as I surely would were it possible, and choose not to submit to a community. You can not publish here without choosing a community to publish in first. In addition to forcing all authors to submit to a community, within each community lies a dropdown containing a set of search keywords, among which you must choose at least one. Again, you cannot opt out and chooose none, and worse yet, you cannot asign your own key words as search terms. They are fixed for each community, and as far as I can tell unchanging. They also happen to be very, very restrictive and have very limited applications. Certainly this is the case for the topics I tend to write about, and/or in the style and genre in which I write. I take it as as point of great pride that the majority of what I write does not fit neatly into any one box. In fact I tend to view anything I write which fits neatly into a community here or has obvious keywords within a given community with a healthy dose of skepticism. Generally speaking those works are my weakest.

Our universe relatives
Once upon a time, in a universe filled with infinite possibilities, the creation of the material world was intricately woven into the very fabric of space itself.
