Literotica Guru

[sweetnpetite]

Lit is big. There are many forums here I never frequent, with regulars that are probably gurus in their own right there. (For instance, who's Catalina/Francisco that Perdita mentioned? I have no idea.)

I also think that being a guru is one rather particular thing. There are many people here that I respect. Some I'd call gurus, who with integrity and knowledge mark their presence. Others I'd instead call muses, whose sheer enhusiasm and energy are their foremost traits. Of course, a guru can be spunky and a muse can be wise too, but those are the primary way I see them.

Examples of Gurus in my hood (foremost AH and the poetry board):
Doc M, Lauren Hynde, Colly, Og, WickedEve...

And muses:
Lou, Sweetnpetite, pop, Echoes, shereads, sweetssubsarahh...


There are more to add to those two lists.

I like that I much prefer to be a muse.

I agree that there is another category besides guru, and I almost posted to that effect. People who are important, loved, ect but not quite up there with people like og, doc and dita. I never would have put myself in the 'guru group' w/ those folks, but I love that you put me in the 'muse' group.

The main person i was thinking of when I started the post was, of course, Perdita. But I also just remembered, Lee from Bearlee. Does anybody not know him? He may not post a lot on the AH, but he's defiatly at the top of the food chain around here.

ps. ogg, I just saw your post. I didn't intend for anyone's feelings to be hurt. It's not quite like those 'sexy women of lit' posts where eventually everyboy is named at least for politeness sake. I think we all know that some here are veteran posters that we all look up to and respect in a special way. If your not a guru, that's ok. It doesn't mean you are stupid or hated or anything negative. If this were a real contest of some sort, I would refuse the nomination. I'm not a guru, I just talk too much However, I am flattered to be mentioned. I do see your point, and I sincerely hope that no one is sad or hurt from not being on this list.

to all, gurus as well as all the beautiful, perverse 'common folk' who make this place great

Og, it's always like that, there will always be someone forgotten, however long they make the list. I just see it as examples of people who have been around long and gained respect. No need for anyone to get hurt.

Besides, you are all gurus to little me.

Flattery will get you everywhere, Randi.

I've thought about it and my gurus can't be listed here, for one very good reason. It would be too hard to explain why I think they are gurus.

A guru is a personal thing and each gives something of themself to the community. I like to think that I could list a special "guru-like" characteristic in all of the people I have come to know in lurking and through posting. So take heart, if you're not named, you may be on my list anyway.
