I'm alive...figurtively

[rara_avis89]

Hi everyone. *waves*

Yes, I'm still alive, although most of you have probably forgotten who this person on lj is anymore, lol. It hardly feels like half a year, and I don't even know where the time has flown.

Well, I'm back on LJ temporarily, although I don't know how long I'll be staying. Going back to university has really been a trying journey

I respect your work with TM so much that I want to definitely offer my help. I'm not sure what I can do but I will try helping in any way I can. TM was my foray into the Ridione fandom. =)

Okay I just realized how ridiculously pompous that sounded. I apologize, that wasn't my intention! The ordering of the phrases got mixed up! :[ I really ought to stop writing these things in the middle of the night...

In any case, just to rephrase...I would love to offer my own in any way. I love your work so much and thought the flamer an absolute piece of turd for having written something so hateful. I'm in college right now so I know how fast work can pile up and agree with Star that that should be your concentration right now. ;] A rest doesn't necessarily mean you've stopped writing. You've simply taken a sabbatical.

Hey! Awesome, I'm so happy someone volunteered to help. Are you usually free? Can I send you what I've written for ch 13 so far and we'll go from there? Like I said before, I have an idea of where I want to take the plotwork but it's just a huge, tangled web right now and theres ideas that need fleshing out and characterization work etc. Get back to me when you can!

[rara_avis89]

Btw, did I tell you how much I LOVE AND ADORE YOUR ICON!!!!!

*squees and completely fangirls it*

HOLYSH*T but its HOTTT!

I'm happy that you are okay and didn't disappear for another reason... :)

As much as I enjoy your fanfiction, I think you should definitely put your school first. I definitely encourage putting your education above things. (but don't think we won't miss reading your updates, either :P).

Um, I have time, but really I could just give you opinions and such. If you ever need help with ideas, don't hesitate to ask. I'm not a good writer, but I definitely get ideas.

Hope you had a nice weekend and thanks for adding me! -Starz

[rara_avis89]

Yup, I'm alright. Well...as good as can be with all the shitload of schoolwork, lol. One year away in the work force and it's so hard to get back into the rhythme of school again. But I'm slowly adjusting. The initial shock of how much work a PhD was just really took me by surprise, is all.

Anyways, thank-you for offering to help as well! Right now, I really need help with the writing aspects of TM, but if I ever need ideas, I will definitely ask!

*hugs*

First of all, wb!

Second: if I were you, I would friend-lock my entries anyway. A friend of mine over here got reported by an anonymous piece of shit because of a post she had written. You can naver know what kind of assholes view your journal, and for it I rec you lock all of your entries. You can put it as a question of privacy.

As for the whole fuss about NC-17 stuff, I think it started out from some stupid parent offended by the NC-17 material posted on LJ. Not to be too acrid, but what the fuck do parents do instead of keeping an eye on their brats? You can't blame others if yout kids go read/view adult stuff when you don't do anything to prevent it.

One thing is pedophilia, a completely different matter is the fandom. Okay, but ignorant and hypocritical people populate the whole world, so I'm not so astonished.

Hope to see more of you!

[rara_avis89]

Thanks for the advice. Yeah, I've noticed that there are a lot of weird, vindictive strangers lurking LJ, especially with all the new 'rules' that have been put in.

I'm probably going to go f-lock sometime in the future, although I'd still like to avoid the hassle.

*sigh* Oh LJ, why why?!?!

I agree about the parents thing though. Oh well...what can you do...

[pinkwands]

hello my darling! I've missed you! *big cuddles* if I had the time I would love to help with TM only because I adore you but atm I'm so swamped. ♥ email me though if you do need a prod or what have you and I will be happy to :D *bigger cuddles*

[rara_avis89]

*hugs*

ZOMG another person I've missed like crazy!

And yes, my first thoughts jumped to you, when I was thinking of asking for help, since you're practically famous for all the fics that you write, hun! But I knew you'd be busy w/ your own stuff, so don't worry about it.

And I'll definitely be emailing you if I need a prod in the right direction.

*huggles*

[pinkwands]

*hugs back* Yes email me with any cookies lol I want to be first so I can go ner ner to everyone else haha :D

[chanteur_dombre]

You're back!! Yay!!

I wondered where you're got to. Don't be a stranger, OK?

[rara_avis89]

WAHHH! Another familiar face! er...screen name!

*hugs*

It's good to be back.
