Yes! Thanks!
Indeed, indeed!! Thanks!
Welcome back. Having fun holding court in the Pics forum?
I didn’t feel too welcome in the Authors hangout (when I first “arrived”)Welcome back. Having fun holding court in the Pics forum?
I may have posted a picture that ruffled someone’s feathers (not having read the forum rules, it was a massive mistake on my behalf) and I did stop coming here for a while!
I thought the “verification photo” response you’d posted was one of the heartiest laughs I’ve had on the forum. Big mic drop on that oneI didn’t feel too welcome in the Authors hangout (when I first “arrived”)
But of course I continued writing and posting stories, I even completed a couple of writing challenges!
I’ve definitely been enjoying posting in the pics forum, I know, however, that it is not everyone’s cup of tea. My thread has now turned into a perfect mix of smart conversation, with good energy, and a littleeee touch of late-night, adults-only fun.
Yeah, I have visited your thread occasionally. More so when it was new. It seems quite busy, more than I usually feel like skimming. But I'm glad you found a corner of the forums that felt welcoming.I didn’t feel too welcome in the Authors hangout

I would like to worm my little self back into the more ‘educated’ side of lit
as much as it is fun over on the dark side, writing, learning and curiosity is more the reason I came here in the first place… what do you think? Welcomed with open arms? Or a burning stake?

I imagine you might find both. Metaphorically speaking, anyway. Most of the people here take some degree of pains to maintain anonymity, and your relative openness is possibly disconcerting and perhaps alarming. But that's no reason not to participate in any of the threads here. Anyway, 50% of them quickly devolve into either pun riffs or circular firing squads.I would like to worm my little self back into the more ‘educated’ side of lit
That was me. We are generally a bit paranoid here, as this place attracts all kinds of creeps along with the rest of us - healthy perverts.He was adamant I was a fake, I was more adamant to prove him wrong
I completely understand! I now have more of an overall understanding of how the ‘politics’ of Lit works! I have had my fair share of run ins with some of said ‘creeps’, here too. But luckily the ones that harassed the most were quickly removed by mods and the help of other users so it’s good to know that at least some things are monitored!That was me.

I am glad you went out of your way to create a proof. It's good to know that there are women of your age frequenting this place. Also, if only you were able to see the sheer look of stunned surprise on my face when I saw the proof... It would totally make it worth the effort.
Anyway, as others have stated, there is absolutely no reason to feel unwelcome here. New faces are always appreciated, and your openness and directness are only a plus.
as much as I am transparent as to who I am, I do have certain things I don’t share and keep to myself but I’d like people to feel they can trust me here!
Until you find someone: Self-editing for authors
You’re an angel, thankyou!
I've never used editors myself, so I can't point you towards any specific person. I am generally a guy who likes to be taught to fish rather than to be given one.I’m also looking to find someone that could potentially help edit a new story? I did have a peruse of the editors forum but… I’m not sure how to post there or where to find people who have the time on their hands to give a helping hand! So if anyone ( or yourself ) could point me in the right direction? That would be super super handy!
You got Stacnashed, an infamous vigilante critic.He was adamant I was a fake, I was more adamant to prove him wrong
I did get indeed get Stacnashed but that was on a story of mine. He added me to a his list of “ worst stories on lit.” Interesting and very bored dude I’m guessing. But the person that didn’t believe my authenticity was awkardleyset, with some light hearted humour and a picture it was very quickly set straight that I am indeed who I say I am
I've had a lot of fun writing and developing my stories on here, I read one of your and would love to read more. Keep at it!I would like to worm my little self back into the more ‘educated’ side of lit
Dudette, actually. I thought she was the one who doubted it was your pic, but you could be right, ASet has his momentsI did get indeed get Stacnashed but that was on a story of mine.

I did hear down the grapevine that she may have been a woman! Does she still frequent the site or has she since been removed? My newest two stories ( challenge stories ) weren’t criticised the same way (thankfully) so I’m assuming she’s been sent off into the ether?Dudette, actually. I thought she was the one who doubted it was your pic, but you could be right, ASet has his moments
She got banned from the Forums, but is still reviewing stories - not at the same rate as she did during her initial period in the AH, but her lists are still growing. Some of the newer AH members (like yourself) have started threads asking, "Who is this person who reviewed my story?"
