Why there are going to be tons of old stories soon.

[roxy]

A while ago, I had a quiet and private breakdown...HAH! Yeah,as if!! Anyway, I went nuts just a little and cleared out my memories, and deleted tags and thank goodness, couldn't figure out how to get rid of my stuff on SSA. Now that I'm just a little less insane, I realize that I really don't stink as much as I thought I did, and folks do want to see what else you've written if they like a particular story. So, I'm going to try and replace all those fics--be forewarned, there are going to be lots and lots of stories that you've read before so please just ignore them. My next project is to upload all the icons I have space for. And ask myself why I have to make it difficult for me. Sometimes, I think I'm a little compulsive.

If you mean that you have to reupload them to lj, you can backdate them if you're worried about inundating your friendslist. (If they're still on lj but just not in your tags or memories, that won't show up when you add them).

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Back date them? Is that in the FAQ?

[norwich36.livejournal.com]

In other words, when you go to post, manually change the date to any day before today. Though from the comments below, maybe people won't mind if you just upload them regularly?

Oh! Okay, got you! Simple, just the way I need like it!
*grin* Yes, they have no idea how good they are for my ego!

[clarkscherry.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I can hardly wait!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Heeee!

[treetracer]

Darlin', you gotta check with us before you do that, 'k? We can talk you out of anything. ^_~

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Ack--It's so hard for me to ask for help. I can't use words, it's like I try to use interpretive dance, or smoke signals.

[rosy5000.livejournal.com]

I'm not gonna complain. Gives me an excuse (like I need one) to reread your stories and maybe catch some I missed. :)

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Awww! *hugs*
*hugs some more*

[rosy5000.livejournal.com]

Aww. *hugs back*

BTW... that is one damn distracting icon. *sighs* Kiki's art is like your stories... food for my soul. :)

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

omg, I know! I keep staring at it myself! I think it's a perfect Whitney/Clark artwork, and god knows she's done some stunning ones!

[rosy5000.livejournal.com]

She definitely has. :) There's just something about the peace and calm in that picture that makes you want to bundle them away in a safe place.

I know you had that moment where you said you weren't going to be around for a while and I was kind of freaked out by it, but then you were here and I thought everything was okay. I'm glad you're feeling better!

You are a very good writer--your characters are entertaining, engaging and well-crafted, your plotlines are always gripping and your stories are always page turners!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

I had a really crappy two or three months there, I feel much better and a lot less loony. *G*

[dawnybee.livejournal.com]

thank goodness, couldn't figure out how to get rid of my stuff on SSA.
Thank goodness for real! Oh, man that was close. Next time you feel those feelings well up, just slowly step away from the computer and find some kittens to punch. That should make everything better.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

...and find some kittens to punch.
Omigosh, how is it that you always know the right thing to say? *HUGHUGHUG*

Omigosh, how is it that you always know the right thing to say? *HUGHUGHUG*

:hugs tightly:

My friends credit my black heart and dark soul ;)

[danceswithgary]

Hey, you're welcome to mumble into these old 'ears' if you need some reassurance. Remember, you helped encourage me to de-lurk and that wasn't because your stories suck. *hugs*

Well, sometimes they do but only in the best porny kind of way. *raises eyebrow then snickers*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

*HUUUUUUUUUUUG*
See? This is what's so great about LJ, meeting folks like you! Thank you, love! It feels good to know I had a positive influence!

I had a bit of a breakdown myself a few days ago and turned almost everything in my journal to private entries. I just sat at my computer sniffing and swiping at tears and locking most things. I had to really fight with myself not to lock my fics up, too. Compulsive? Yep, both of us it seems. *hugs*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

*HUGHUG* Oh gosh, don't ever do that, please! How would we suck in the innocent if they can;t get to the good stuff?

I just sat at my computer sniffing and swiping at tears

Geez, yes, i know! I just felt so crushed, and stuff was going on that kind of hurt my feelings, even though I swore nothing on line would bother me. Stir in some RL stuff and the over-whelming feeling that my stories were crap--oy.

We should make a pact to bail each other out of stupid when it happens!

*hugs*

Your stories are very much NOT crap. Not even close. Your stories break me and put me back together again, they draw me in and hold on tight until the end, they make me smile, they make me feel, they make me laugh, and they make me cry. I love reading your stuff. Your journal is one of the first places I go when I check my flist, because I want to see if you've updated whatever story you happen to be working on at the time.

And that was it exactly for me, too. RL overwhelmed and suddenly the things that never bothered me before, bothered me. As much as I love when people read my stories, I write them because I want to write them for me, not for anyone else; with everything else going on, I kinda forgot about that and started getting really down on myself.

We should make a pact to bail each other out of stupid when it happens!

Yes, we definitely should. *holds out pinky finger* Pinky swear that when one of us feels like doing something dumb, we tell the other first so she can talk us out of it?

*holds out pinky*
Yes! The absolute minute! *shakes*
Oh, and I think I fixed the YIM thingy...it's sad to be this old and so techno-booby. On the upside, I really did love my pet brontosaur, Charlotte...
sorry, sorry.

Re: *hugs*

[arianstarr.livejournal.com]

*shakes* Good. :)

lmao *g*

Excellent, I'm glad YIM is fixed!!

Rereading all your stories cannot possibly be a bad thing. But no more deleting, okay? *gives you the puppy eyes* It's writing like yours that helps US through the tough times!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

*clings*
thank you so much for that--you make me happy!

[jakrar.livejournal.com]

*hugs you tight*

...thank goodness, couldn't figure out how to get rid of my stuff on SSA


Thank goodness! So glad you couldn't figure that out!!! Most importantly, you are feeling much better (glad to hear) YAY! Yes I know I'm basically a lurker, but I love your stories and Live No Life really has me going.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I do feel better--I have a much more positive atittude, and less feeling of 'omgodyousuck'.
and I'm so pleased you like Live No Life--thank you! *happygrin*
