Is the AH nothing more than the GB?

[damppanties]

Sigh. I expected something more original from Charley.

Meta discussion is not action. If you want a higher ratio of authorly threads, one of two options are available:

* Censor the non-authorly discussions.
* Create, and put some effort into maintaining momentum of writing related discussion.

Every time I've seen this "why oh why are there not more writer threads" discussions, I tend to look at those complaining and see if I can remember them doing any more to change that than the rest of us. Can't say that I see it.

You make me want to kiss your orchid.

Now my petals are all aflutter

 

[Stella_Omega]

Now my petals are all aflutter

You see? we do have important discussions here!

 

[shereads]

Hooray! We haven't had one of these 'What Happened to the Old Authors Hangout" threads in ever so long.

Next, can we have a debate about the propriety of penis photos as AVs?

 

[Byron In Exile]

Nonsense. The political threads on the AH are exactly the same as the political threads on the GB.

Well, not exactly. There are subtle differences. Imagine that political threads on the AH are like a field, and you see a barbed-wire fence in the distance. And near the fence is a large oak tree. Next to the oak tree is a shrubbery, possibly a juniper or something like that. Then, off to your left, is a road, on which a 1978 Chevrolet Caprice drives by. About halfway between yourself and the fence lies a dead rabbit. Now, political threads on the GB are much the same, but the fence posts are stone instead of wood, and on one of the wires of the fence is what appears to be a shred of cloth, as if someone had gone over the fence or between the wires of the fence in great haste, having just committed an exceptionally brutal rape or series of gruesome murders, for example. In place of the oak tree is a small grove of aspens. There is no shrubbery, but instead, a large rock shaped like an alien spacecraft, and the land rises off to the west of it. No Caprice is seen on the road, but a 1968 Impala, which is being pursued by an old Ford pickup truck mostly the color of rust. The reason for the pursuit is unknown, and there is no dead rabbit.

These are the differences I see between the two boards' political threads.

This includes transport, you should enter Min's contest. That is fascinating. Are you Charley's alt?

You almost got it right, Byron.

In the GB, you murdered the rabbit by flaming it to death. The the AH picks it up and makes rabbit stew

This really wasn't a 'good old days in the AH' thread. It was the rant of a woman whose writerly research inquiry was turned into a burlesque.

 

[Byron In Exile]

And then I thought, what the hell is the GB? And I haven't looked yet, but I will, and even before I look, I have considered 'nuking' it and seeing who is left standing after the radiation dissipates.

But the more I skimmed through the thread, the more I thought of the Avatar of Charlieh, (I hate you if you are a guy) I wanted to glom onto....ah, never mind, you wouldn't understand anyway.

And I am not sure I can devote the time, but I love an interesting diversion and I may make a rather large splash in the GB pond should you be interested and have a wager on the results.

Bet on me. I never lose at anything.

Jesus, I never expected so many responses to it.

 

[CharleyH]

Hmm, you have me thinking. lol

 

[CharleyH]

Do I have an Alt?

 

[gauchecritic]

Do I have an Alt?

Ooops. I meant The Importance of Being Earnest.

 

[Liar]

Do I have an Alt?

Yes. I'm your alt.

 

[CharleyH]

Ooops. I meant The Importance of Being Earnest.

As an aside? I have always enjoyed The Platters.

 

[CharleyH]

Yes. I'm your alt.

You're a dreaded squirrel - you must be!

 

[cantdog]

*snerk*

Sometimes I wonder if those who complain about "not enough writing" threads just want an excuse to not be writing? They're rather talk ABOUT writing than actually sit down and WRITE!?

The writer will come here for research purposes, and get help. Many a time. You've seen it too. Then go back to writing.

Besides, Charley does write. She makes money at it.

 

[Guest]

Yes. I'm your alt.

this makes more sense than the easter bunny and chocolate eggs

 

[CharleyH]

Off to bed all -big kisses and sweet dreams to you all.

 

[CharleyH]

this makes more sense than the easter bunny and chocolate eggs

You think that makes sense? LOL Night, Chile pepper!

 

[The_Fool]

I want to continue to be a parasite in the AH...

Can I please?

 

[CharleyH]

Thanks Cant. Dream sweet, tonight.

Hear my mighty squeak.

Thanks. It's just my own personal perspective, of course.

What's "Min's contest," what might I win were I to participate, and do I have to be Charley's alt?
