'who's' humour, Mr Dean? Tut. Never mind, I only recently learned it's 'truly' without the 'e.' Congratulations on being better looking than Tom Waits!

It's an entirely empty threat as you don't actually know anything much about me. Same for me about you, although I admit it doesn't stop me speculating kindly.
Your avatar with the ear trumpet amuses me greatly. Please tell me it's you.

I wish I knew what that actually meant. I suspect I would find it most endearing.

Hello, Mr. Great One. ~exerts great self-control not to dissolve into a mess of giggles~ I loved hearing from you! You always leave such entertaining voicemail. All those characters, and everything. Next time, I'm hoping I'll have the chance to be involved in the conversation with you all.

Miss you! Hug your blossom for me? No, not that one! The female person you're engaged to. Share the love, for goodness sake.

Hee.

lol i like a good poke havnt been on much lately but nothing seems to have changed..same old stuff! i enjoy your blogs, you're refreshing. hows the engagement going, any dates set yet?

Love the blog! Sensational!

The comparision you made in your review describes many, many post-apocalyptic stories. Horseback + Radio transmissions are all over the place in the genre and practically staples of it. I don't know if there are other, more specific and damning comparisons to be made, but the type of things you brought up are not enough to accuse somebody of plagiarism.

I've seen a lot of BS accusations get flung in the past (not at me), so I'm a bit sensitive about the issue. To act with more certainty than is warranted by the evidence is a terrible mistake, in my opinion.

I try to stick to the distinctions as outlined in the score drag-down menu, and her stuff, while bad, isn't bad or offensive in the same way a lot of the other stuff I had read recently. Probably should have given a three or a four instead of a five, but I was a bit disheartened by the claims of plagiarism by the other reviewers.

The writing course is going well, but at the moment stalled. I've been writing a ton, just not on that specific assignment. I posted quite a bit more to the Library since we last spoke (I'm particularly proud of 'A Tape' and 'The Emperor's Daughter'), and I've written some much longer piecies inspired by my Bad End series that I might try getting published. I'm also working on a bunch of related stories under a 'Legalized Contractual Slavery' setting (the first chapter of which is somewhere in the forums). Oh, and I just started a fairly elaborate RP piece.

And you think I'm too nice with my reviews? I bomb people pretty hard sometimes. The average is like a 5 or a 6...

Ok, I don't mind if you crack the whip, just don't break anything, especially not the friendship. Although, I do hear that making up can be rather enjoyable...

Tell Miss Blossoms hello for me, please?

~kisses~
