When EL Met Joe Wordsworth.

[English Lady]

Hey people of the AH. I'm an oldie. I pop in once in a blue baboon when the nostalgia takes me then bugger off again.

I'm nice. Ask anyone.

Anyways, a couple of weeks ago (well, 11 days actually) I travelled all the way to Mississippi for a weekend to meet my bestest friend for the first time ever face to face.

Yep, the title gives it away, that best friend is Joe Wordsworth.

I just thought I'd come and share with you guys. We're at around 13 years of friendship (coming up on) and we met here, on the AH back in the day.

He argued everything with everyone. I followed around, admiring his butt and trying to soothe troubled waters.

Nothing has changed

He didn't have a clue about it, either. A mutual friend arranged it all. His face when I walked into his birthday party was a picture. I'll never forget it.

Had to come back and let you know...even if you don't even know who we are.

(old people do this kind of stuff you know)

EL, (FLYINGTACKLEHUGGS)

Long time no hear. I wish you had put out a few words about your trip. I would have been in Mississippi in less than eight hours.

Maybe Joe will stop by after a bit.

Good seeing you again.

By the way, how's the writing going?

Ah yes, and Rumply has moved to Arizona to be closer to the kids now that the Wife Unit is gone and he finally lost the battle with his eye. I think I have his new phone number around here somewhere. I owe him a call.

TX! *huggles*

Heeeey!

It was very hush hush, the trip and I had like a day and a lil' bit there. It was a huge adventure. I'll be back

I dunno about Joe, he's a busy fella. Butcha know, I just had to tell you guys all about the meet up.

This lil' place brought me a great gift. Joe is the bestest friend a girl can have

The writing is going. I need to, as always, do more of it. But yes, I'm still at it!

How're you?

 

[jomar]

Hey EL, nice to see you. I remember Joe, enjoyed some back and forth.

Glad to hear all is well and you had a great surprise visit!

 

[sr71plt]

I remember you both. I'm glad you managed to meet.

Hey there! Nice to see you

All is well and it was a brill visit. Years in the making in one way and weeks in another (I only knew I was going about 3 weeks before it happened)

Great adventure.

I'm about as fine as a Dirty Old Man gets. One of my non-erotic stories here at Lit got my foot in the door with a mainstream publisher. I now write under four different pen names for the same group. I still dump a story or two here on Lit from time to time. It is now my fun writing.

I feel older every day with all the new people around. Me, HP, and Ogg are still roaming the halls. I'm trying to remember who else was around you might know.

Hey, thank you

I'm so glad there are still familiar faces (well, names) here

Aw, that's amazing. Congratulations on all the pen names. I have only ever managed one. I don't think I could do more. I'd forget who I am

LOL Three of the four are in different categories and the forth is Young Adult, it helps keep me straight. Not to mention an editor who carries a whip and chair. She keeps me well in line.

God Bless the editors!

Welcome Back, EL

It was lovely to see the pics too.

Welcome Back, EL

It was lovely to see the pics too.

Aww, thanks. It was a joyful occasion!

 

[SEVERUSMAX]

EL! Long time, my friend!

 

[lovecraft68]

Phew! When I saw the title I thought this was going to be about EL James meeting someone who actually understood how to write

That must have been awesome finally meeting someone you've been friends with for that long face to face for the first time.

And of course you have unleashed plot bunnies on all of us, I'm sure

 

[English Lady]

EL! Long time, my friend!

Hello, love!

Hahahaha! It was amazing, such fun to meet my bestie. Something I really was convinced would never happen.

 

[SEVERUSMAX]

I will say this for Joe. We didn't always agree, but he was able to be firm in his beliefs without attacking others for theirs. He would state that he differed with you, and he would say why (and I often disagreed with his analysis), but he was civil and pleasant about it, at least in my experience.

How are things for you? Your publisher any good, in case I finally get brave enough to seek one out?

He is a proper gent. I am biased though.

I have a few. I'd recommend Totally Bound whole-heartedly, Evernight and Tirgearr are new to me but seem good so far too. I'm doing a bit of self publishing these days too.
