How do you think the AH perceives you?

The crazy old lady yammering on the top of Mount Batshit.

You'll be the easiest to sum up my thoughts on:

Kind, funny, and embracing.

... you're not allowed to do that to me when I'm not expecting it.

I suddenly want to take up mountain climbing...

What is AH?

What is AH?

The Authors' Hangout, this forum.

 

[questquilya]

Thank you. Gotta love acronyms.

 

[Statius]

Hard to say how people here see me. Hopefully funny most of the time. Hopefully supportive. Probably a little off during an actual discussion as my brain 'skips' thoughts and much of what I post here ends up incomplete because I won't see it right away.

Good luck climbing mount batshit!

The inspiration for this topic came from @iwatchus 's thread.

How annoying to not link to the thread. I have no idea what you’re talking about.

What is your idea of how the AH sees you? Do you think you're one who fits in, who gets along with most people, or do you believe you are the odd one?

I believe everyone thinks the sun shines out of my ass, and I’m the be all end all for all the wisdom and knowledge. I’m also always honest and have no sense of humor. That what you wanted to hear?

Honestly, I’ve been pretty passive lately, I suppose there’s hordes of new people who don’t have any idea who I am. Sometimes there’s people who say something like “you all hate me” or something, and I’m like… who are you? It’s easy to imagine “everyone else” as some kind of monolithic hive mind, but it isn’t so. I don’t think people think about me much at all, same as it is the other way around.

Do you think you bring positive or negative energy to the forum?

Positive, when I’m around. Sunshine is positive. See above for details.

Finally, does it matter to you how the AH sees you? Does it bother you?

Generally, I don’t like being misunderstood, but also, jos on lusikalla annettu ei voi kauhalla ottaa, with some people you just can’t win.

Could it be just because they're bigger than regular chicken eggs? So it'd be like putting in 50-80% more eggs, if you put in the same count

Duck eggs are the same size as medium to extra large chicken eggs. They have a more intense flavor though, and supposedly can lead to fluffier scrambled eggs.

I definitely do not fit in. Surprise! : D

More people here do not like me than do, because people generally do not like blunt truth, or sometimes even subtle truth, if that truth does not support their little fantasy world. Now I'm never out to purposely burn anyone's treehouse but I'm just not going to perpetuate any lies that happen to protect it. So the truth of that truth is that I'm only out to get you if your ego convinces you that I am. ; )

I'm sure that it will shock no one when I say, "not in the slightest."

The most common depiction folks have of me (if they even have one) is probably some fat-ass thunder-thighed white trash trailer park tramp with jowls, a chain smoker's rasp, dressed in primary colors, tacky pink and green eye shadow and cheesy fishhook earrings in the shape of tumbling casino dice, and a squawky cockatoo on my shoulder that I teach to cuss out all the neighbors. I also bet that that imaginary depiction is on a few imaginary dart boards.

Nahh, I'm just having fun. I'm under no illusion that anyone ever thinks that much of me, or much of anyone else in that way that deeply.

Actually, you all probably think that I look like Taylor Swift with a boob job, because hey, ALL the horndogs here dream that every girl online looks like Taylor Swift with a boob job. : P

Not EVERY horndog... Some of us have different tastes. ( Not a horndog, fyi).

That actually sounds like a pretty cool gives no fucks character. You should work them into a story somewhere.

 

[Statius]

Oh, I'm an outsider. Fine with that. Kind of always put myself there no matter where in life.

 

[AwkwardlySet]

What is AH?

A loud sigh of pleasure.

 

[old_prof]

I honestly have no idea what people think about me. It's true IRL, even more so here. This has been my first real venture into an on-line community where I did not feel like a total outsider.

I expect people know I have flashpoint topics that I struggle not to argue about. I think many here know what they are.

I hope people realize I care about people, all of you, even the ones I routinely lock horns with. I get angry when people put each other down. I worry about people who are struggling. I hope my presence helps to calm some of that, but I doubt it.

I'm new here but I think of you as the person who has the thread in the Story Feedback Forum offering direct honesty (along with AwkwardMD). One day when I think I'm a good enough writer to be worth the time of such feedback, I may even gather the courage to ask it, but I like the openness and willingness to do so.

 

[NaughteeDragon]

I believe I come off as supportive and helpful or pretentious AF.
I try to be helpful when I can, but I’m also slightly in love with my own ideas and want to share them. My interaction with FrancesScott a couple of weeks ago reminded me that I occasionally need to just keep my fucking mouth shut sometimes.

 

[pink_silk_glove]

I get angry when people put each other down.

Funny that I've been put down and personally attacked as much as anyone here and I don't recall the last time that anyone ran to my defense. ; P

I recall reading somewhere they have a higher fat content than chicken eggs.

I'll add that you seem to be very appreciative of hyperbole.

I rarely, if ever, run to anyone's defense in these. It does not help. I have DM'd people doing it to ask them to calm down or back off a bit. I have no idea if I have done it for you or not. In general, I think of you as being able to defend yourself quite well, so less likely than people who come off as more vulnerable at the moment.

Beats me. I don't bake.
