Buncha perverts...
This whole writing experience has been weird and wonderful.
As most of you probably know, I had never written any fiction, ever, really, until Dark Muse hit me like a ton of bricks two days before SB's birthday in April, 2004. Just a little over a year ago.
Now, though I suffer from bouts of "everything I write is the same" type self criticism (Did you realize that Possession really IS Arena, after all, and also, that Arena is just the Dark Muse scenario sneaking up on you slowly, with a big, bloody sword? Stupid brain.), I can't imagine NOT writing, even though there are days when I really, really do wish for the brain-ectomy.
Anyway, that's the weirdness.
The wonderfulness is y'all.
Thoughtful comments that cause me to rethink where my plots are going. People who are enjoying my story so much that they come up with their own ideas about plot and character. Long, delighted feedback and short supportive comments (or squeeful ones). People who beg for more.
And I believe my favorite quote to come out of this experience to date was![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
angiepen's comment on the last chapter of Possession:
That has been running around my head all weekend. Just one of those funny, glowy things.
I call myself an attention whore, but there are reasons I've become so addicted to it!
The Husband once, a long time ago, referred to my friends on LJ as "your loyal perverts." I hope you are not offended that I have come to think of you all very fondly under that title.
And last, but not least, thank you so much,alpha_strike for your help with the naming problem. I didn't go with Seekay, but rather Seejay, much to my own amusement - and her's. :)

Re: Various
Palace has its ups and downs, intensity-wise. But yeah, you can't really dictate when the crunch periods come. I haven't posted anything in Palace in a few days, but there've been times when I ate, slept and breathed Palace for a week or two. If you have kids and all then you probably wouldn't want to get involved on a regular basis. Although because Palace is what it is, we have an option for people to come in and just play a client as a one-shot thing. Come in, make an appointment, do a PWP, and wander off again. :) Practically speaking, you post in the chat com here (http://www.livejournal.com/community/palace_rpg/) and say you want to play a client. I definitely understand if you're too busy with your own stuff and your husband and kids, though.
And I've been reading Arena, around chatting with Raven. I'm on "Last." Good stuff so far. And actually, I'm not all that sorry I didn't read it before, 'cause now I have this huge slew of stuff to wade into. [beam]
No, an excess of politeness is never bad, although it can be rather bemusing at times. What's bad is when folks get all sniffy when someone friends them without asking, or posts a comment without being on The List. I've seen it happen. I just never imagined the attitude was quite so prevalent as shown in Isis's survey. Here's a link to it, if you're interested:
