Once you get enough responses here, you need to start a separate thread for each category -- each with a poll. If you work at it (and even if you don't), you'll get everyone all angsty and divisive about cliques and favoritism and invisibility cloaks and shit like that.

I think that there's many here that could fit pretty much most of those superlatives.

Most of us here really give a shit about our writing, and try to learn and develop our writing skills pretty consistently. Who's the best? I believe that's unanswerable. Many here have their own group of fans. We all write with different styles, about different subjects, and with different goals in mind.

We all flirt, almost without exception...makes absolutely no difference if you're gay or straight, flirting with everyone is accepted practice.

Some of those questions - i.e. "who's the most annoying?" - are sort of like stirring things up with a big stick. I'm willing to bet you'll get no takers for that one.

I shy away from naming any personal favorites, or answering those types of questions, because:

1) everyone's answers are likely to be fairly unique to them,
2) why cause any hurt feelings needlessly when someone is or isn't named to some arbitrary list?
3) I would think it would be more rewarding to stick around, and get to know the denizens of the forum myself, rather than have someone tell me about them. I like to form my own opinions.

Not trying to be hateful, or anything, just a few words of friendly advice, that's all....




But then, I am the most hateful bitch.

Much more to the point than what I said.

I nominate TheEarl for the biggest endowment.

Biggest ego would go to - someone else.

... and then someone will leave in a blaze of wounded fury

The smartest one is no longer with us.

Damn it!

... only to slink back a few days/weeks later and pretend no one saw their fit of pique. If their fit was spectacularly pique-ish, they'll return as an alt.


(We have alt-sniffers here. Just sayin' ...)

I wouldn't put anything past myself at the moment. Forget the stick, though - it would be more of a loaded gun

You're in the wrong thread.

... until someone rumbles them. Then they show a less spectacular fit of pique, vanish for a few days, only to return fresh-faced and bushy-tailed, no hard feelings.

It does make this place a lot more interesting, though

I saw an argument like that on a different side of the Lit Forum...got quite ugly at times

Well then ... I'll just save some time and leave now.

Farewell, cruel AH .... I'm off to watch some more Battlestar Galactica.

Pique-a-Boo! I see you!

... until the next time someone starts a list or doesn't respond to their every post. Then it's pique time again.

This is a really pique-y place at times. It should be dubbed the Author's Pique-out.

I've been known to pitch spectacular hissy fits (I am, after all, from the home of the hissy fit), but no one's ever run me off.

It's way more fun to stick around, and watch them get all pissed off because I didn't leave.

Well, it really wouldn't be the first thread to nominate people here for accolades and whatnot. I'm not touching it because I just don't have the energy, this weekend, to argue about why I picked whom I picked--and I think it'd just devolve into that.

I will say, though, I think some of them are easy to figure out. I'd take a solid guess at me being the "tallest" and I'm sure we could figure out who is the "oldest"--maybe Skip is (he's 72). Some of the ones that require a purely subjective qualifier? Oh, we /can/ answer...

I would say that the "nicest" would be EL. She's surely been the most consistent with being kind and polite and helpful and rather welcoming. I think amicus has been the most annoying--having nothing to do with the truth content of what he's said, only the level of opposition he faces and frustration he causes.

I have a good guess at who's smartest. And I have a magnificent "ego".

Self-confidence is a wonderful thing.

We'll be into the second season dvd's by the time you arrive ... but we'll make a fresh batch of popcorn and save you a comforter to snuggle under.

Wait ... i'm supposed to be in a pique.

(cute puppy, btw)

as long as you put caramel on it, I'm there!

I don't care which season. I just need to be in front of a tv set so I can sleep. It always works wonders. The popcorn is an unexpected bonus - it's the kind of thing that would make me visit again
