Emily’s NEW positivity and being nice to each other thread

[EmilyMiller]

Late night.

You create that?

 

[Fatdog25]

Not as bad as the ones she bombed me with.

But the weird thing is, I've never seen this many votes per view. About 1 in 12. 240 votes with just over 3K reads. Is that typical in Romance?

Mine has 431 votes on 7.3k reads, if that helps.

No, I found it online. Thought people here might like it.

Cute pussy

Late night.

This could be the wife and her cat. Except that in the middle of the night it's me going to rescue the cat from things like rain and thunder, while the wife complains about me waking her up, and then the two of them snuggle up together.

In a break with thread tradition, imma gonna say something nice about another AHer.

I’ve just written a story about two LEOs. I know nothing about LE, no one in my family is a cop or anything.

In particular I know even less than nothing about guns of any type. I’ve never even held one. I tried to do a bit of research but it’s kinda complicated. Then you get on to rifles .

I happened to mention my dilemma to @Voboy who does know about the area, and he was super patient with my ignorance and stupid questions and helped me to - at least I hope - be semi-convincing on the topic.

Glossing over this area would have really detracted from the story, so his help was invaluable.

Oh and this is my third call-out, but I wanted to add one here (maybe in the hope of others doing likewise).

Thanks

Emily

Aww.

My pleasure.

If you ever get the chance to see Celtic Woman, LIVE in person, you should definitely do it.

Incredibly talented young woman.
Singing, dancing, playing instruments.

Of course, this only increased my massive crush on Tara McNeill though.

I got my daughters tickets for Christmas.
They'd been counting down the days on the calendar.

There's lots of great guides like Armed and Dangerous, The Writer's Guide to Weapons, and Throwing Lead, for writers who are unfamiliar with this area. There is also this handy guide from the NSSF.

I invite you and your significant other, to come stay later this year.
I'll teach you about guns and gun safety.
Well, weapons in general as well.
I grew up around them and hunting.
My daughters could take apart and clean a gun, before they started kindergarten.
My oldest is the back to back to back, reigning and defending Archery Champion in our region.
She shoots barebow and doesn't use modern crossbows.
She shoots old school bows.

That’s very kind of you - but no desire to get to know guns better IRL, just for a story .

The hunters round here have to use bows, which I imagine requires a lot of skill.

Actually have a story idea around this, I might drop you a line as and when I get round to thinking about it.

It certainly does.
She kicks my ass at Archery and absolutely LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVES to remind me about it.

Good job @Voboy

Are you current or former Law Enforcement???

I went through the Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy myself, when I got out of the Navy.

Radical take: not really. You just have a shorter range. Bow hunters do it for the love of the art. There are some enduring debates that make this sort of an interesting field though.

Bows also have less sound than guns. And some people are more adaptable to them.

 

[StillStunned]

So about those redheads...

 

[EmilyMiller]

So about those redheads...

With bows

 

[StillStunned]

With bows

And ribbons.

 

[Seadog777]

So about those redheads...

Redheads!?!?!?

 

[Bamagan]

One redhead in a bow, as requested.

 

[StillStunned]

Redheads!?!?!?

Just as dangerous as guns, but more fun for most of us to talk about.

 

[Seadog777]

Redheads are far more dangerous than guns ever will be, especially when it comes to me.

 

[ShelbyDawn57]

And ribbons.

Redheads in stockings and dressed up like kittens
Hair up in bows and braided with ribbons
Shown in repose with breasts to be seen
These are a few of my favorite things…


Next…

Yeah, I like the happy and bouncy, even if the bouncy is not the usual kind. Even more, really.

 

[StillStunned]

Redhead happy = good
Redhead unhappy = "No survivors lived to tell the tale"

(Although my redhead can leave me pretty wrecked when she's happy too.)
