Just a typical AH thread - nothing to see here

[lovecraft68]

I'll just say as a whole, you're all my favorite people to spend time with when I'm trying to avoid doing anything important, meaningful or productive.

 

[LexxRuthless]

As usual, I'm trying to get inspired to write.

Doesn't seem to be working.

See, this is why we need a "hug" emoji response. I want to send love and support your way, but if I use the response, it might seem like I'm happy you're struggling. So, to you.
(Also need "thinking" and "blush" responses...)

I would NEVER name a character in MY stories after me.

You make an interesting point I just realized. I have never used my name in a story, either my first or unusual middle name. What I use for my "me" avatar and MMC is "Steve", which was a name several people called me in my 20s, "'cause you look like a Steve!" Really!

Another reason I love you people:

I've spilled more seed to some of y'alls stories than a farmer planting crops.

 

[AchtungNight]

Thx y’all for being nice and accommodating while I am here. Hope you will enjoy my work on Lit in the future.

Wait, you're the guy that keeps feeling compelled to send me feedbacks saying "I gave that story five stars because it coaxed three loads from these old balls?"

I'm not kidding, they've sent me that several times

Well, in fainess, the third load is mostly dust and air.

Well, in fainess, the third load is mostly dust and air.

Until that's the first load don't worry about it.

I'd like to thank all of you for providing a largely friendly and entertaining environment. I'm a relative newcomer and correspondingly quiet but when I decided to have a whiny day last week, the support, both public and private, was surprising, encouraging and heart warming.

So thank you.

I was positive I'd have that story finished this week and then it made that left turn.

 

[EmilyMiller]

I find everyone here fascinating to observe and interact with and appreciate the private interactions I've had as I'm much more comfortable behind the scenes.

How Spock is that ?

Some of you have even weaseled your way into my mind as good character fodder as far as personalities.

I demand a royalty.

Look for things to say something nice about.

 

[Winter_Fare]

I really enjoyed the Barbie Movie.

 

[Rob_Royale]

Well I've been writing and participating here for just about a year now and you've all been very supportive, encouraging and welcoming of the new guy. It's been much appreciated. Thanks very much.

Alright, wise guy, you asked for it.

We have posted back and forth a lot over the years, you and I. Mostly, we've seen eye to eye. Sometimes we've clashed, sometimes we have been baffled by each other

But there is no one here who has, through explanation and example, taught me more about writing.

Thank you.

I've got just the story for you:

Allison the Aardvark

947 words, so it's a quick read, and a dad joke groan at the end, for the young-uns.

Allison the Aardvark

[...deep sigh...]

Now that was fun. Six stars.

 

[Cagivagurl]

I feel this is needed.

Please feel free to post pleasant things and to compliment your fellow Lit inhabitants.

Wonderful idea....
It's Sunday in the Antipodes, awoke to sunshine streaming in through the bedroom window...
Meeting friends for brunch...
plugged in my phone, and headphones cycling down to meet my friends and my favourite song played from my playlist...
It is truly a wonderful day

You are very kind. Thanks.

This reminds me of the penultimate line of E.B. White's Charlotte's Web: "It is not often that someone comes along who is a true friend and a good writer."

I'll second this. Even with the occasional hiccups, I've felt very welcome here.

On a different note, I'm approaching the end of a story I thought would be very grim throughout because of its premise but which has taken a surprisingly sweet turn unexpectedly. It's a good way to end the day.

 

[ElectricBlue]

I misread that, thinking, I don't have a story with that title. Although I do have a story with a spider.

Carry on .

Just found the hippie love-fest over here.
Musta been some good weed to mellow everyone out like this.
