Yes, there are more than one or two brilliant writers out there. They don't hang around in the Lounge, so you'll never see just how brilliant they are.
*grumbles and slaps her head* I knew you would take some part of that the wrong way, and it wasn't meant to be. All I meant is that for me to go and lose myself in your writing ability would send me running so far away from our story that you would never get a reply. And I kind of figured you wanted a reply post...
In any case, I appreciate all the help you have been giving me, more than you realise. So thank you Marauder13 *hugs tightly*Oh Anam Cara, I know full well that there are more, I am on the search for them. But as I don't have the time to sit and read every single SRP story currently in progress, I was asking for some guidance to find them. Sorry if my words came off brute or misleading.Yes, there are more than one or two brilliant writers out there. They don't hang around in the Lounge, so you'll never see just how brilliant they are.
If I could Rider, I would give you a little smack for thatI definitely understand the intimidation factor with several of the writers here Shy. So many are just so talented, it's a little overwhelming at times. I find anything written by Gaia's_Child is usually wonderful. Sallythescorpian is a talented writer who uses shorter but not less wonderful posts if long posts are intimidating.
If I could also pimp an old favorite of mine, written by Luciandevine and Ladythunder, called An Auction From Hell. It was the first one I really read when I started coming here, and I can still go back and reread it and find it enjoyable.
If you want to totally avoid intimidating posts or talented writers I'm sure you could always dredge through what I've written as well
God, I swore I wouldn't say anything self depricating or reference my work. Oh well, I'm still a work in progress I suppose.
Edited for linkage.
. I would never dredge through your work! You have no idea how excited I am for Dark Temptation to kick off again so that I can write with you! You are still interested in being a turned vampy, right? *fingers crossed* In any case, if you stepped back and looked at the quality of co-writers you attract, then you would see how great your words are. Great writers like Gaia's_Child or Sally wouldn't waste their time on half-arsed writers. So, you must give yourself some credit. If not, I will continue to do so until you hear my words 
In any case, I will have a look at that story, thank you for recommending it. *hugs gently*That is exactly what I mean Ahren, thank you. Popularity tends to win in threads like these, and while it doesn't diminish the talent of the popular writers, it can do so for the quieter ones. And it is those quieter ones I am in search for. Not only that, people who wish to start out look at threads like these and think 'my god, I need to write like that to be any good'...and that simply isn't the case. That was all I was trying to say.
Hmmmm...very true. But your standards are great anyway, so I see no problem there. But there are MANY stories and you are only one man. Hmmm...*ponders briefly*...you should start a book club...
Marauder to be fair to Shy you are fairly intimidating in how awesome you are. You can take that as compliment or insult or both btw
No offense caused here. But sometimes I get worried that I offend people, so my words were more clarification for others. I'm sorry Marauder. But since I am blonde and completely clueless, that sign might come in handy. The one below is perfect!Perhaps I need to put sarcasm tags around my text at times. I am well aware of what she meant with the entire reference to me, and I interpreted it in the manner she delivered it. My reply, when taken literally, would indicate otherwise.
If I have cause any offence with the manner of my reply, I am sorry.
To be honest, I still find it hard to believe that my writing is intimidating to some people. Well, I have learned something new.
