It's like an alternative universe or something! Will that wear off after a bit? LOL!

I think i may be a lone voice LOL

I found it quite addictive at first, especially as i was on here with a great R/L friend, however that wore of and now i often disappear for months at a time without any withdrawal symptoms. Yes the people can be great but i find those i grow close to i start chatting with outside of Lit so the relationships are not dependent on Lit time. Plus in all honesty i am just far to busy in R/L normally to get much time on here.

But i know there are a large group of lit addicts so really it depends on you.

Well, I am learning quickly that the potential for off-site contacts on a more personal level is high! I like both. I am in a time of transition and do not know what the future holds for me, so I enjoy all my options while they are available!

Thanks to all who give their input here.

There is a part of me that wants to start a friendly place for newcomers! With recommendations on threads that are welcoming and friendly as well as posters and mods who are.

Please add your recommendations here all...it's hard to get a start here at Lit when you are new. It is so VAST...and there are lots of places that are NOT friendly. But you know.....I have found in The Playground...that even the roughest of trolls can be nice at times.

That's the value of The Playground...play!

I am glad to that you like it here poppy and I hope you stay a bit. It is always nice when we can grow as a community. Sometimes it takes fresh ideas and thoughts to do that.

I think that everyone will find the "What made you smile" and the Drunken Druid's threads most welcoming. Especially for new people. The game threads are good for getting one's post count up for an av as well.

Heh...

It'll wear off, I'm told... Much the same way that heroin addiction wears off...

 

[BlackWolf65]

LOL, it might *looks at own postcount* well theres your answer for me anyway....

Geez!!!

And I thought *I* was a post slut!

Quite often people come here in search of something because of a lack of the same thing in R/L... I'm trying to be as delicate as possible...

One of the first places I made a lot of good friends was in the Happily Married/Sexually Unfulfilled thread. As well as Playgrounders and Proud Of It. Those two are, IMHO, two of the best threads in Lit...

Well, I suppose you are right in your delicate approach...I am here toying with ideas and imaginings that I am too...what's the word....shy to act out in real life. But I have found that in practicing other things online, I gain courage and self-confidence to explore more things in RL. I love the internet for that.

You wouldn't believe how tenacious I have become ways dealing with difficult people online! I get such a chuckle out of that!

Thanks for the recommendations everyone. I hope some brand newcomers take a peak at this thread! It is becoming very helpful!

What I was missing in r/l was a black wolf as a friend.

Hi, Poppy. This is a great place.

Oh, now that was really, *really* nice, cc...

And the sentiment is returned - you were one of my first real friends here...

You know, I would never have had the courage to approach DF in R/L had I not been given the opportunity to get to know her quite well here first... Our R/L meeting just seemed a natural thing to do...

I probably would still be wallowing in a failed marriage, had I not been given so much encouragement and support by the people I met here... People I knew would be here for me no matter what the outcome of that final confrontation might have been...

And I would never have had the opportunity to meet such incredibly giving, caring, and loving people had I not stumbled into the discussion boards here.

I believe that *everything* happens for a reason. Call it whatever you like; Karma, fate, destiny, whatever... I honestly believe that I found this place for a reason. And to put it simply, I was brought here because I needed to find it.

In many ways, this place has saved me...

I think what you seek from a place like Lit determines how much time you spend here, for many it has become a place where they have discovered new parts to themselves, found others who really understand, made amazing friends, explored themselves and some have met the love in their life here. I just think sometimes as much as a person may need this place depending where they are in their life they should not become so addicted that it becomes their life.


I was not missing anything in my R/L, in fact i have so much going on there that here is more of a zone out place. I am lucky to be emotionally and sexually fufiled in a long term relationship with an amazing man there is nothing sexually we do not talk about and try if we wish to. I came here to explore the idea of erotic writing and talk openly with other people who, like myself are sexually explorative. I am lucky enough to have meet some great new friends but lit is an extremely tiny part of my life.

So i say enjoy it and take all it has to offer you.

Hi, Poppy. This is a great place.

Hi ccnyman! I can see what your sentiment implies. I have had some contact with BlackWolf and he is most definitely "good bud" material! And I haven't said it to you, but it is always nice to see you say Good Morning to au man! I don't know why but it makes me feel good. LOL.

I'm glad you like the thread. I had a heck of a time navigating here for a while. I hope it helps others get the best of Lit. Even if the best is everything I say "don't go there"...LOL!

You know, he pops into the Grove almost every morning and does the same thing. I miss it when he doesn't make it in for some reason...

He's been a good friend to both me and to DF... And to everyone else I know who knows him.

And please... You guys are going to make me blush!!

But may I say that you seem to be the kind of person who would be a good and welcome friend, as well...

Hello ImmortaleAmante! Nice to meet you.

Life is so unpredictable, isn't it? I never would guess I'd be communicating as much online as I am. Like BlackWolf, I believe there is a reason for everything and "the Creator" wishes us to live as fully as we are able in each incarnation. I am older now and the world as I know it has become somewhat mundane in my circle of life. I am not sure at my age (43) how to seek changes without making an utter fool of myself in the process...LOL. It's easier to do that somewhat anonymously. I always have good intentions but sometimes I push the limits too far and worry my loved ones....if I do it in "spirit" here more, I am less likely to cause a tizzy.

People in RL sometimes put too many boundaries up and don't know how to shift into a new gear when needed. I've found I can do this in cyberspace and meet others, like me, who are seeking. I RARELY blur the boundaries...but I have in a couple cases after much "getting to know you" time.

No regrets so far...so we will see where it all leads. I like the adventure of it all. Sometimes you meet some ones who have malicious agendas, or so it seems, but even those have lessons to offer. I've learned far better who to not engage with when I recognize the signs. I feel sad at times because I understand where those, too, are coming from in ways. But there are plenty others out there to dance that dance with them...I don't have to anymore.

Transitions....I was never so good at them in RL. So here helps!

 

[BlackWolf65]

Like BlackWolf, I believe there is a reason for everything and "the Creator" wishes us to live as fully as we are able in each incarnation.

Well, isn't *that* a welcome reference for me!! I hesitated in my earlier post to use the term Creator, because at times, people may take offense to anything that they may view as being "religious." As it's common knowledge here, I'm not too worried - part of my username is actually my real name - my last name is Black Wolf. I am "moderately traditional" in my spiritual practices - I'm half Northern Cree. I refer to Creator quite often. Nice to see someone else here doing the same!!

I just wanted to wish u a belated welcome to lit and that it will be nice to meet you. You seem like a very nice person who is gonna have fun hear, we are all a fun bunch really..

I love your av too

 

[poppy1963]

Hallo, nax! And thank you for the welcome! I have enjoyed myself thus far here at Lit! In many many ways! Glad you made the effort to reply here!

 

[poppy1963]

To the newcomers! If you enjoy laughter...lol...try the Questions With Jailhouse thread. Jailhouse is a very attractive man (lips...everything) and my selfish goal is to own him lock stock and barrel...He won't submit though...

Others seem to want the same...or maybe not.....lol. But the discussions are quite funny. He is the Handsomest Oracle on the Net in my opinion. Though Absolut does hold close. I've had few contacts with that one however. I would be on overload if I tried to talk to them both!

Anyway...check out that thread. The Oracle is...um..cough...very.....um..choke...wise!

Curious...about my av. What is it that captivates? So many love her!

Just saying good morning to all...

I've already told you that for me, it's the necklace... I wish I had a better view of it... I'd like to reverse engineer that and copy it!

Anke... Hmmm... My eyes are aging right along with the rest of me!! LOL...

I missed that until you pointed it out...

Both you and BWolf are making me blush now. Thanks, both of you.
