Gentle sobs and an apology for Skein and Beanie respectively

[starrylizard]

Firstly, I was very sorry to hear that Skein forlornhope42 has removed her Gentle series and most of her LJ. I'm not sure of the details of what prompted this, but be sure there are several of us out there who happily read your lovely "Do Not Go Gentle" every single week and we will miss it. Hopefully you will decide to repost sometime soon, even if only as a friends locked thing.

Secondly, I would like to apologise to beaniesheppard. I've heard from others that I have unknowingly offended you via a comment I left in a friends journal. Know that I am not a person who would intentionally offend anyone, and so I was slightly bewildered to learn that I had upset you. I also had no idea that because of this, you were angry at me availing myself of the lovlies you posted. So, if you happen to read this, my apologies. (Or if your friends read this...please pass the message on.)

Awwww, your icon makes me sad. *huggles you* I hope that everything is okay.

Thanks hon.

I'm fine really. It just seems that there are dramas going on in the LJ's around me and they make me slightly sad. My journal is still my happy place though and it will remain so.

I've been bad at reading and responding to people's journals of late. Hope you are well too. (I read something about a date and your ex??)

*huggles back*

Ah, I hate it when that happens. Just remember that no matter what may happen that it will all be alright. *huggles you...is bad with giving advice*

Hehee, well I decided that I didn't really want to go out with the guy and canceled the date. I broke his little heart but meh oh well. *lol* He's a nice guy but not so bright. We haven't gone out in over a year but he still sort of thinks that we are going out.

Oh well that's good I think. I remember the earlier drama when he thought you were still a couple, even though you'd ended it.
Course I'm not good at the advice either. *grins*

I really am fine you know. I'll post something happier later. Just wondering about some of the flist, which is weirdly growing. *blinks* I like it, but I think I miss lots of posts now from the friends I'm so used to chatting to...like you. *hugs just because*

[lightz474.livejournal.com]

Yeah, hopefully the guy understands this time that we arn't a couple. I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't know it.

Ahh that's okay. I have a tendency to post a lot so I totally understand if no one replies. *lol and many hugs*

Beautiful Sheppard icon by the way. ;D

Ya, it's very pretty and made by gforgina.
OK I must get back to work now.
*hugs*

What happened?

Dang it, I was reading that too.

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

What happened?
I'm not entirely certain. As far as I can ascertain from the posts in her journal, some people anonymously reccomended her fic under a post labeled "guilty pleasures" and something about it has upset her. I believe it was something in the wording of the post, but as I haven't seen it, I can't really comment. I only hope she begins reposting again, because I really love following the boys and their lives in Wisteria Cove each week.

Dang it, I was reading that too.
Yes, yes, as I have said in an email to her, I believe she has quite a large following and hopefully we are a good enough inspiration for the fic to go on. *fingers crossed*

Gah. But isn't a guilty pleasure a *good* thing?

I don't even know the other person, but I appy pissed her off too, trying to explain my thoughts on why fannish watermarking was a bad idea. I ended up just dropping it, because it wasn't even my LJ and that's not cool. Kharma, she's a bitch.

But isn't a guilty pleasure a *good* thing?
Um yeah, I would've thought so. I'm delighted over a comment or rec, no matter the context, but I wasn't there and so I won't comment. I just want Gentle back! *sighs*

I don't even know the other person ...why fannish watermarking was a bad idea.
Um, dude, what can I say but ditto. *eyebrow raise*

Thanks for friending me back! I completely forgot to drop you a note when I friended you, sorry! Thanks that you did in return! :)

And I so agree with everything you said about skein. I hope she will return to us soon! I miss her and her story. I know the reasons why she went away and I can understand her, but I hope she'll overcome this and will come back. :(
