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

[ShelbyDawn57]

How long ago was this thread hijacked?

Which time? Do you mean today, or the great redhead revolt of about six months ago, or pretty much all those times @onehitwanda stops by with her insurmountable wit and charm?

Ah, so we have a long term problem. What a shame, the original intent was very sweet.

As sidetracked as this thread gets, I think it still serves the intended purpose. At least for me, it the thread I look for when I need a smile.

I feel compelled to point out that @onehitwanda didn't hijack the thread, she commandeered it.

to Commodore Wanda...

to Commodore Wanda...

I thought she was a Rear Admiral. Or a Rear Admirer.

We'd better batten down the hatches before this thread starts shipping water.

Whatever her title, I sure she's in charge...

Rear Admiral (Upper) or Rear Admiral (Lower)?

 

[onehitwanda]

I'll have you bunch of clowns know that I'm a Vice Admiral.

Everyone agrees that my vices are the best.

I far prefer Vidi, vici, veni.

 

[StillStunned]

I far prefer Vidi, vici, veni.

I write lots of E&V, where all you need is vidi, veni.

 

[onehitwanda]

I write lots of E&V, where all you need is vidi, veni.

But vici is so delicious when done slowly, by degrees.

New story idea: Veni, Vidi, Vicky.

Or Vinnie Videos Vicky?
Could be a verb for recording her, or maybe it's a porn company name and they employ Vicky.

She decided to spend her time on more enjoyable things than being targeted by trolls. She's still around, just not active in the AH any more, to our very great loss imo.

Thank you so much Wanda. I agree with you on both counts. Emily’s disappearance is a great loss to all of us — or at least most of us. Personally I miss her so much. On the other hand, I think she needed to get away from here to preserve her sanity. For some reason, she seemed to be a troll magnet. I don’t know if they were from her pre-Lit days or just people on Lit who felt hostility toward her for some unknown reason. Either way, she didn’t deserve the shit they threw at her. I also think she was trying to do too much: writing long multi-part stories, running various threads and responding to those who posted on them, giving advice to anyone who needed it, and seeking out lesbian octopi to lure into her bed. Sometimes the brain just needs a little holiday. Don’t worry, I think I know a couple other places to look for her. One day, maybe she’ll feel comfortable enough to come back to us.

I regret nothing.

Non, rien de rien
Non, je ne regrette rien
Ni le bien qu'on m'a fait
Ni le mal
Tout ça m'est bien égal

As quick witted as you are, I’m surprised you’re not a Fleet Admiral.

Just wanted to put some positivity in here - I hope everyone can find something to smile at today

Plenty! Lots of well-paying work from new clients. A big cuddle from my cat this evening while I was writing. Some decent progress with the next chapter of my sci-fi series "The Dome". All the very positive response to the WIWAW challenge, from writers and readers alike. One of my stories is closing in on 150k views.

And I just found a bottle of fancy Macallan in the back of my whisky cupboard that I'd forgotten about.

I can't tell you how satisfying it is to encounter someone whose apparent concept of "decent progress" is compatible with my own.
