Seeking female writers

[EmilyMiller]

I think it's time for you to change your account name, Em.

EmilyMillerDomme has a certain ring to it, don't you think? Keep the glasses, obviously, and look severe .

Funnily enough. I recently talked to Laurel about dropping the “Sub” as it has caused me nothing but grief from “real” submissives. It is entirely doable. The problem is that your old username is then available and there are some people here who dislike me enough to co-opt it. If I could change and it have EMS not used by someone else, I probably would. Though I’d change it just to EmilyMiller, I’m an even more occasional domme than sub.

I suppose I sort of see their point (though not how they go about making it). Some people are submissive across their whole life. They only live to please. As is probably evident, that’s not me. I just like being restrained / disciplined on occasion (less now than historically). And I do switch with guys, if never (to date) with a girl.

Worth asking Laurel if she could place a permanent block on anyone else using EMS, if you gave it away.

I'm sorry to hear there are fucktards giving you grief - I'd not realised that. You've become a personality here in the AH, though, worth keeping. Just stay away from those other forums, you know, the ones where your IQ drops to your shoe size as soon as you go there.

Speaking of creepers, got a couple of real ones in this thread.

I know. I steer clear. I still have the scars.

I know I'm jumping on someone who is already down (and gone), but Jackhawk could have simply put a profile in the Personals forum and not offered any false pretexts. Of course, with Lit it's extremely difficult to figure out where most of us are located. "The Left Coast" is pretty vague; as for "Closer than you think . . ." My favorite is "Heart Attack and Vine." Okay, the Tom Waits song is set in Los Angeles, but it's more about a state of mind than an actual place.

I'm not talking about the Op.

Didn't Mystery Science Theater 3000 have this once? Or they should have. Somebody on another thread brought up that show.

"Sylvia?" "Emotions are for ethnic people." "There's a rabbit in there!"

 

[EmilyMiller]

You do love being mysterious don’t you, hun?

Not sure if I’m meant to be in need of protection, need to be protected against, am totally irrelevant to the comment, or just too plain naive to understand what is going on. Just how you like it I guess .

Okay, I see that now. Still, I stand by my own comment, even if misplaced.

With the laugh track, it's obviously a satire. I just noticed: Larry Enfield, BBC Comedy. Sorry, I'm not up on British TV shows. And they say the English don't have a sense of humor. It started out so seriously, a Monty Python gimmick.

 

[EmilyMiller]

With the laugh track, it's obviously a satire. Looks too old to be Monte Python, however. Sorry, I'm not up on British TV shows.

Harry Enfield. Quite Pythonesque in this case, if not in general. I actually don’t know much of his stuff, but the people I knew in London loved this clip. They had a mission to “educate the dumb yank”.

I know, I just saw that. Our comments crossed in the Lit programming. (I sort of did that with lovecraft68 too.) I even mentioned Monte Python. I suppose Enfield was one of their influences?

No he’s much more recent. It’s a fake “old” clip.

He had me fooled. I thought it was truly older, and truly serious too - until the laugh track starts around the "what half-baked drivel" comment. Those short films that Mystery Science Theater 3000 attacks are old and serious, and watching those has made me more gullible than usual. (I'm already pretty gullible.)

 

[SimonDoom]

Hang on a second. Was that just LC and KD agreeing about something?

It’s the end of times people. Prepare for the apocalypse.

OP:

This thread went off the rails, as they so often do here, but my advice to you is to do some homework and find female authors whose work you enjoy, build a rapport with them, and then propose a collaboration. You're more likely to get a productive response than by making a general, cold-call offer. My two cents.

Sound advice; I even told him that, yesterday I think. But we are probably too late. He's already "lit out for the Territory ahead of the rest."

I reckon you're right.

 

[gunhilltrain]

You might as well show the whole thing. I forgot how good the acting and the script is in this.

My principle, which I try, not always successfully, to follow, is to construe another person's social media communication in the most positive and reasonable way that the words and circumstances permit. I don't assume people are douchebags. I don't think the OP's original post was outrageous. It was perhaps not fully thought out. It's not how I would go about things. I think there's another way that the OP could try to achieve his aim, but I suspect he's gone and it's too late for any further suggestions to do any good.

I was making a joke by over-extending the metaphor .

The OP's post # 7 upped the ante pretty quickly, though. That's where he showed his colours with this sentence:

possibly assisting them with getting started, as well as to possibly identify a woman that could string together more than two sentences or might be willing to try.

I'm surprised more didn't bite at that - three slices of sanctimonious offence in one sentence. It didn't go well from that point on.

Most dropped out at that point.
