I do want the idea improved on, and i didn't suggest it to push any buttons at all. I have no problem with the idea being improved on, but the point of the idea was for it to remain generally the same thing, not to convert it to something people have done before. |
I'm glad to hear that. I'm sorry for having misjudged your intentions.  |

We don't always agree -- in fact, sometimes we vociferously disagree -- but we are never snide. We never intentionally write crapfic. We never intentionally push each others' buttons just to see what kind of shit we can stir.
There are so many other places on the Web where people dig at each other and exalt crapfic. I sincerely hope OSA won't be allowed to turn into a haven for that sort of behavior. |
I must confess that my reply this morning came out without further thoughts than what the post it was answering to really inspired.
I apologize for giving in to the impulse of a moment, but since I count myself to some of the members of OSA when it first started (thanks to Scribe's invitation) I think I have the right to expect from everyone, especially the newcomers, that we keep the civil tone we are used to and keep the banter friendly and witty between peers.
I cherish the space we have in this forum too much to engage in futile discussions, so, for the sake of civility : Peace & Love 
Nevertheless, I do beg the new members of the board to adjust their style of expression to the usual communication of the board, since I still believe we are here among adults sharing a common space on the net discussing a fandom we love and much more.
Have a great weekend,
C.

Its sad that the site owner had to come in here and chastise and rather ironic that it was because of a lack of pleasantness. Who would ever have thought that OSA would lose the one aspect that sets it above every other archive - its sheer outlandish fun and cameraderie? Still, the forum is a big enough space that those of us who cannot be friendly can avoid each other.

You misunderstood me, I meant that you shouldnt have had to bother, we should have known better. You've never had reason before to check us for being uncivil.

Fair enough. Please folks, just remember that sometimes the best way to get an idea across is to by being helpful? And newbies...we are trying to help when we offer our opinions. Please remember that this is a writer's support community. Healthy debate is key. If someone opposes your idea its not because they're being nasty, they're trying to be helpful. Of course delivery also helps but generally we're a friendly bunch here.
Except on days when the Site Owner is PMSing and has a muther of a headache and generally hates everybody  |

Would you prefer chocolate, booze, or nekkid elves, m'lady? Those three things sometimes help.  |

Could be a test from an evil and deranged Daddy (Thranduil) I luv him but it's easy to make him into anything because we all know Sues will beleive anythin involving Legolas
