SRP Absence and abandonments.

[babygurll1968]

To my co-writers..due to another loss in my family in less than 2 weeks and an upcoming sad anniversary..my thread replies will be sporadic for the week coming up...I thank each of you for understanding and baering with me...

You mean as a sticky?
I had the same thought about this thread and Veroe's Thread and Writer's Appreciation thread. They should both be stickies!

That’s exactly what I mean. I don’t mind waiting no matter how long it takes, but if they are on Lit posting every day or every two three days, they have no excuse for not posting.
The members that bother me the most, are the walkway from the threads without a word. I despise rudeness and to me these members are the worst. I think we should all band together and post their names, if they’re still in the forum posting.

 

[yeishia]

I agree if people read the stickies

 

[Cobra2004]

I’m sure not every member will read it, but the chance that most would read it, would be much higher if they can see the title.

 

[yeishia]

I am lucky no one had done that to me yet

 

[Cobra2004]

I wish I could say the same that was why I posted here.

I would totally disagree with you there. Some people put a lot of time, effort and thought into their posts and they have a certain level of quality they like to keep things at.

Posting on lit in lounges, or in general threads takes much less focus and concentration.

I know I went through a time period recently in which I could not muster a post of my normal quality to save my life due to RL circumstances, but I was still able to post in social threads. The key is communication and respect for the fact that writing is an artistic process, which sometimes does not follow rules of logic. There are so many ways to inspire, or chase away the muse.

Blanket statements are a dangerous thing when you are referring to something so dynamic as human creativity. Some people write in a vacuum, Others in an emotional tornado, and others somewhere in between.

I’m not saying I’m right I understand what you are saying, but communicating with members that have no respect for you is futile, I don’t think they know the meaning of the words respect and responsibility.

Hi all and I'm delighted to see this thread being used.

On my own absence, thank you to those that pm'd ( you know who you are) and sent ecards, ( you also know and thank you dearly), and left me offlines most mornings. It meant the world.
I'm back, but with a difference to my time as my family, namely my Mother needs me more than before as she's utterly heart broken to have lost both her parents in the space of 8 months. So it means, I'm having to drop a couple of threads after much thought and deliberation. I've already pm'd the partners concerned, offering my sincere apologies, but there is simply not enough hours in the day now for me to have the private time I need to be here on Lit and post in the amount of threads Im in, while maintaining some kind of decent quality. Choosing wasn't easy, trust me, and I really dont like the feeling inside that I have.

I do offer them my thanks for the time they gave me in their writing, and I hope they find more threads to explore and enjoy as much as I enjoyed mine with them.

*******

As for the above debate ( if that's the right word to use) I'm delighted Apollion that you appreciate this thread and will use it, and those that agree with why I felt it was needed.
I didn't post it as a means of contact between partners who might be absent in threads, as I do agree partners deserve the courtesy of a pm, but the thread was also , as stated in my first post, here for 'friends' also. And please dont say 'surely you'd pm a friend.' I have many here I consider friends onsite, but my personal soul communication is via onsite threads, not pm or otherwise, so this thread complimented that method communication for me.

I also would disagree that while a member maybe online on Lit, that they should be able to continue their srp posts..That's so unfair!
No one should elicit posts just because one sees a partner posting somewhere else.
I agree with J, (firmhanded_daddy) here..While we all take our threads very seriously,..some of us can spend hours on each post, if not longer if posts are prepared when one has the privacy to sit and write when kids aren't around....myself included.
I dont just toss out post after post, I put great thought into each and try my best to return the courtesy of my partners efforts in doing so.
I also, in the past days, have just wanted company. Just to talk to someone that wasn't family, and connected to what was going on here at home..I sometimes just wanted to read, just to hang out. I couldn't have posted one word in a srp thread for anyone. So I think its unfair to expect posts, when the partner concerned might not be in the right frame of mind, or in the right mood, or simply want to. That kind of pressure goes against the enjoyment one gets in roleplaying and takes the fun out of it.

Also, being this threads starter, I dont really mind where this thread goes, be it here or in the srp forum..But I put it in the lounge, because I was under the impression after the Lounge forum opened, that all OOC's of one kind or another, were to go here. Simple as that.
I personally believe there should be nothing in the SRP forum, only the Site Rules, and the actual SRP threads. If I had any say, I would have everything OOC moved in here to the lounge including ''Seeking Role Players and Inspiration'' and ''Existing Threads That Need Players - 2010'', and leave the Srp forum for nothing only the Srp threads. It would improve traffic in the lounge, and get rid of the odd OOC that springs up in the middle of Srp posts in the srp forum. I'm not talking about feeling obliged to post in the Lounge if it's not your thing, that's more than fine, but I personally believe, OOC's of any kind should be kept together for organization purposes.. Just my view as a moderator of another srp forum, ..its not a criticism, so dont crowd me..

But thank you. It was cool to see the thread being so well used, and I'm delighted that I got something right seeing as my own Appreciation Thread never quite took off. So use, enjoy, read, offer support to those that needed it when needed. It's nice to be nice, and costs nothing.

Bg, thank you for your message above, and my heart goes out to you again. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time.

 

[Firmhanded_Daddy]

Taking a Hiatus from the social aspect of Lit. I'll do what I can to keep up on posts however.

 

[monique_minx]

Minx wishes to let my good friend Trouble know that he is being ignored...and to my co writers...realizing I am owing in 9 threads currently, I ask for patience please. I am currently 'attempting' to quit smoking for the first time in years and my muse has gone with the incoming withdrawal symptoms.

Just posting this here and in my boudoir so that I make sure most people see it! I'll also post something in my OOC threads where possible, I don't really have the time and patience to PM everyone though...far too many!

Thanks all!

Take your time Jeremy. You were patient with me, so take your time and post as you can.

Take care.

I've been absent due to ill health. My apologies to Maurader13 who is waiting a week or so for a post, and to Mr.Adam as I'm not yet ready to write. Hopefully in a day or two when the symptoms subside and I'm feeling more myself.

As always, my dear friend, take your time to get better and post when the mood finally returns. I have enough to keep me occupied elsewhere

I just hope whatever has struck you passes quickly.


Take care,

marauder13

 

[Alana_]

Thank's M13, I appreciate your message .

I'll talk to you soon hopefully. Take care too.

hugs.

 

[Ausus_girl13]

I will most likely be gone for the next week. I need a break. To my co-writers, please have patience with me.

 

[chronicle_tenko]

Done take all the time you need.

...

well the time has come my friends. I have enjoyed my time on Literotica, but all things must come to an end. I realize that I am leaving several threads out in the open and unresolved, and for that I apologize. However things in my life have shifted and the real world requires my full devotion. I do not see this changing any time in the near future.

To any who desire to continue the threads without me you have my blessing to replace me. To my lovely writing partners I apologize but real life absolutely must come first and it requires my devotion. Thank you for giving me smiles, laughs and Memories.

Sincerely,
J

J I hope everything works out for you. Take care, and maybe we'll/I'll hear from you again.

My best to you.

 

[filthysami]

Real life is demanding my undivided attention, lately, and I have no time for online antics.

My apologies, especially, to fuckmeat - so sorry to leave you hanging.

 

[Alana_]

Apologies to M13 for holding up our threads. I'm just not in the right frame of mind to write yet. Dreadfully sorry.

Talk to you soon M.

 

[Alana_]

Continued apologies to M13 and Mr.Adam for the delay in my posts..I'm getting there I hope.

Take care guys and thank you.

 

[Bsquad]

An open apology to my online co writers, I've been laging considerably in my stories due to real life issues. And unfortuantely those issues are continuing into the forseeable future. I will try to write in the next week, but for the moment I am going to be taking a sabattical from lit for about two weeks or so.

I've gone through a veyr difficult breakup and my mind just isn't coping well, and I am going to need to focus on myself and try to help myself before I can focus on writing.

 

[Luna_Wolf72]

For dragon~it will be a few days before I can focus on our threads outside of a post or two. Personal issues requiring serious downtime as well as visits from my baby mama make the real world a place I need to be in for the next 6 or 7 days.

scarlett~if you decide to add to our thread, I will try to post when I can. See the above for the reasons why.

Am sorry
