The Long Dark
Well, this is it. I've gone.
Can We Talk? has been handed over to the most reliable of my mods, Al, and he will keep things going. I'll abandon this LJ account and unf-lock the f-locked pages. After that, it's over.
The Creepy Crew is responsible for this: it's what they wanted, and I refuse to be their plaything any more. Those of you who refuse to ( Read more... ) -
Lights out
I've decided to quit fanfiction ( Read more... ) -
Truth
Still not the searchlight voice of the enquiring mind
Give it aid and comfort. It is not the enemy
Though it tears down walls - revealing who knows what?
A percussion of skeletons to rattle and remind us of our faults.
The truth points to itself with a ghostly hand
Howling in the sounds of souls who might have seen better days
But never lived them.

One day at a time
It's a very slow process, but I'm starting to feel better. Blessed normality and finding more distractions is definitely doing me good. Last night Richard and I went to dinner with the neighbours who have come to us for dinner a few times.
Shirley did a lovely chicken dinner served with a lovely white wine. Richard and I provided dessert. It was ( Read more... ) -

Sifting and sorting
I haven't been able to face the computer for a week.
Just walking past the spare room would speed up my heart rate. I've been shaking, crying, nauseous. Why? It's not because I didn't know what I'd find here, but because I knew exactly what I'd find here - or so I thought. Kind people are offering support, not to oppose anyone, but to let me know ( Read more... ) -
An Open Letter to Everyone
Well, it's come to this: I'm out of the Tolkien fandom on LJ and associated fansites.
This means I won't be posting stories anywhere except fanfiction.net and my own blogs, and will not take part in the contests or challenges I usually participate in. I've left of my own accord, not because of the people behind all the wank, but because everybody ( Read more... ) -
Cool Runnings
Well it's all sorted out now.
I've had a few more nominations to add to the list, which I'm pleased about.
Good times! :D
BTW I'm going to f-lock some of the earlier posts to help keep the better vibes going. -
Honesty: the best policy
I must confess I didn't see this coming. Not at all. The responses I've had have astounded me. In fact, the most astounding is, "How would you feel if Marta excluded someone you liked from the MEFAs?"
I'd accept her right to run her stuff as she so desires. If she wants to ban me from this year's MEFAs, I won't object. If I've voted for someone she ( Read more... )
