Kuma2.net is no longer accepting submissions or updating the literature sections of the site. As promised, the archive will continue and includes all of the stories and poetry from 1998 to 2009. All of your favorites are still here. If you are a new visitor to Kuma, there is plenty for you to discover. From time to time, we will post events and interesting tidbits on the blog--and anything that appears there is automatically sent to both our Facebook and MySpace pages. In this excerpt from Sippin On Ink, Martina talks about why we created Kuma: This text will be replaced by the flash music player. Hopefully, we've accomplished what we set out to do. It's been a great 10 years and--whether you are a writer or a reader--we are beyond honored that you shared your stories, time, and talents with us. Keep writing! -Tawanna & Martina
