This is a topic that deserves a thread of its own, and it’s all about Mat.

Aunty Mat sent me my first ever piece of fan mail, and it was through her that I found out about the AH.

She’s always been my number one motivator when it comes to writing, and she probably doesn’t know it but I always value her opinion more than anyone else’s.

More than that, Mat has always been a fantastic friend. She saw me through some pretty dark times, and always, always told me the truth – even if it hurt. She’s non-judgemental, a very stabilising influence, a wonderful listener, a gifted giver of advice, and probably one of the most understated people in the AH.

There’s part of me that feels sad that I can’t phone her during my lunch breaks to ask for advice, and there’s another part of me that feels sad that she’s having too much fun at the moment to add her wealth of creative talent to Lit.

But… at the end of the day I have to say I’m over the moon that Mat’s found the happiness she deserves. I can’t think of anyone who deserves it more, and I’m busting a gut for Mat and Min to come back to civilisation so I can meet them properly :)

Anyway, here's to the happy couple :rose:
 
Ooooooooooo -- it's a "Let's Embarrass Mat" thread. :nana:

Love you, you skanky OLD twat. :D
 
OK, I think this is the time to leave the house and go do the shopping.

I'll comment later, when I've stopped blushing.

:kiss:
 
And congratulations and thanks for your work on the Bournemouth meet.

Even if you can't go back to that hotel ever again...

Blush away, but it needed to be said ;) :kiss:

*snickers* Very true.

Mat -you're a star! Without your determination and help I would never have gotten to the bournemouth meet at all - you're a sweetheart, and a wonderful roomie and chauffeur. (We took some lovely sceneic routes, didn't we? ;) )

I'm so glad you've nested with a good, decent bird. It makes me smile to think of you two lovebirds together. :rose:
 
My Queen:

To meet you was a thing worth treasuring...so happy two of my favorite Lit-sters are happy together...

:kiss:
 
Mat, Mat, Mat...what more can be said?

Plenty.

A perfect stranger who became a port in many a storm from across a vast ocean and always made me feel like she was close by.
A woman, though small in stature is large in heart and spirit and abundantly well stocked in love.
A friend who made me smile many a day and was there to console when I wasn't myself.
A friend who showed me what courage and strength are and what is inside of each of us.
One of many that I carry with me through my life's journey, one that I treasure and one that makes me joyful to have been allowed to have her in my life.

Cheers mate. :heart:
 
I'm glad to see this thread, even if it does embarass the hell out of you, Mat. :)

Mat is one of the kindest, most generous people I have ever known. On more than occasion she's sent me a note of encouragement or support. Her loving heart is an inspiration for all of us, and I know I, for one, am better for knowing her.
 
Fortunate to have met her in person (we got into gurlfren mode immediately) and hope to remain some kind of friend for a long, long time. A rare find (woo-woo-woo-lucky goosey!)

Perdita :heart:
 
Mat,
I don't have a lot of witty anecdotes, but:
It is and has been a pleasure meeting and being befriended but you. You are a refreshing respite from the turmoil of everyday life. Thank you for being who and all you are. It has been my pleasure to be associated with you and hope to continue it for a long and happy future.
*Grizzly Bear Hugs* :kiss:

The polite part of me wants to apologize for so keeping this loverly woman from you all, but I'd be lying if'n I said I was sorry. :p

I'll try to keep the selfishness to a minimum, though. I suppose I can share. *sigh* ;)


And Mat, my love, my heart, my life, quit blushing. It's all true. You'd best start believing how exceptional you are. :heart:
 
As one of those privileged to have met the little lady, I'd like to add my good wishes. And Mat, I'm sorry I sat on your coat!

For once, I really am lost for words. No, honestly. I really am.

But I'll try and find some........

I'm touched beyond measure by Scheh's thread (you are so going to get it young lady, when I get back.... :rolleyes: ), and the comments and wonderfully complimentary comments from the rest of you....well...you've unwomaned me.

I have much to be thankful for, to Colly for persuading me first of all to post my stories, and then Lucky for persuading me to get my arse into the AH and join in. The rest, as they say, is history. I've had more fun than anyone's had a right to have, I've met the most wonderful people, on line and in real life, and through those people, the love of my life.

My darling Min.....your sentiments are echoed.....my love, my heart, my life.

:heart:

(I'm still blushing. And those of you who have met me, know how easily I do that.)
 
Colly advised me that if I want a model for sex scenes in those lesbian porn stories where the use of vulgar terms is not appropriate I should read the works of Matriarch.
