Virtual Writing Group Administration Thread

@Sophia1 @Flax @Adge @Appleblossom @Shaz51 @HenryX 

Is there anyone I am forgetting? 
Here is a thread to discuss any issues or problems so that we can keep the other thread just for the stories and pictures. Hope that this is acceptable.

 

Love,

Meggle

Re: Virtual Writing Group Administration Thread

Sounds like a very proactive idea @Oaktree ! 

 

Also, thanks for reminding me to head over to the writing thread. I haven't been there in a while now. I think the last time I was there, a girl was going into some fantasy place 🙂

Wonderful @Oaktree 

 

Talk about on the ball and organised..

What a relief....

 

Yes our dear quiet Little Bee @Exoplanet whom we all love ...

Our thread would not be the same without her...

Our little Bee has rescued many blanks or gaps in stories just out of the blue as she buzzes away out of sight.

 

Thank you so much for doing this dear Vanessa

Re: Virtual Writing Group Administration Thread

Hello @Appleblossom @Exoplanet @Adge @Oaktree @Shaz51 @HenryX 

 

I have deleted original response to you all here...

I needed to vent and have said what I needed to..

 

I do not have the need for the venting to remain...

Moving forward now..

At the same time thank you 🙏 to those who supported me at a time where I felt very vulnerable..

Much appreciated my friends. 

Re: Virtual Writing Group Administration Thread

Oh @Sophia1 

I am so sorry you did not deserve whatever happened. It makes me wonder who it is we cannot trust. Look after yourself hun.

Much love and hugs

Re: Virtual Writing Group Administration Thread

Dear @Sophia1 

Heart

Sorry to hear of your personal and family health issues.

Heart

Regarding admin of creative writing thread.  I think this is a wise adjunct that @Oaktree set up.

Heart

Regarding sense of being exposed to deliberate hurt on the forum.  It has happened a few times for me.   Not many times, but enough for me to request that general forum statements of safety be relevant and true to the online environment. There are risks.

 

It can be very disturbing.

 

Gentle Hand reaching out.

 

Regarding deleterious posts being liked, sometimes people who are very manipulative can prey on the goodwill of others and unwitting draw others into acts of collusion.  Apparently there is a form of politeness theory that touches on some of these issues.

 

I have had too much going on personally to put a lot of energy into the thread.  I am sorry, but I still love the idea and believe it has beneficial aspects for the forum generally.  An important part of spontaneous imaginative play is ... no pressure ...

Cheers All

Apple

 

 

Re: Virtual Writing Group Administration Thread

I'm sorry this has happened to you @Sophia1 It happened to me too.

Perhaps it was the Same Post - Which then Disappeared (was Deleted).

There were very personal references, which I found hurtful & not necessary - I said nothing, at the time.

All the Best to you HeartSmiley Happy
