Brookeira, please dont
Brookeira, please dont leave.
I don't just want you to stay for the reason most people brought up on your thread that was closed for comments: That if you leave, you might be the last straw, that things will get worse. I want you to stay for a less...political reason. (Yes, I'm going to call this CB Politics.) I want you to stay for one big reason: you. Y-O-U. Allow me to elaborate.
You're a sensational CBer...where do I begin?
You're an amazing writer. I don't think anybody can argue with that. I am on pins and needles reading your awesome True Name CB Story...you're so good at plot-weaving, at building the characters, at showing the story, not just telling the story. (No pressure, no pressure at all...but you simply MUST keep posting on that story OR ELSE I AM GOING TO DIE OF SUSPENSE. Once again, no pressure. *smiley face*) By that, I don't just mean you're good at visual description. I just mean that the story and the world is seeming to come alive. Keep up your writing, Brookeira.
When you make a mistake (we all do), the awesome thing is that you're aware of it. You own up to whatever you say that you believe might have been too harsh. That's a hard thing to do, and something I really admire about you. In fact, it reminds me of a quote on a magnet I got from DaVinci's house Clos de Luce in France: "Seek advice from the one who corrects himself." I have trouble owning up things sometimes. But I'm working on it. I'm trying to do what you do. I follow DaVinci's wisdom.
You're creative. You bring so many cool, new ideas to the CB (not talking about Political ideas...no Politics on this thread) such as in your writing, which I've already said is really, really good. The idea of the whole True Name thing is creative. The Chrome-Loth RP is creative. (I know this because although I am not in it, I am reading it.) I love how you came up with the characteristics of the different clans.
You care about the CB so much. At least, that's the impression you give, and it's a very strong impression, so I'm going to guess that the CB means a lot to you. You really seem to care about the CBers, and how our community fits together.
You're a good person, Brookeira. I really hope you don't leave the CB.
Whatever happens, I'm going to be here. For the CB. For my Ski Lodge. For everyone. For you, Brookeira.
Sincerely Yours,
Owlgirl

I agree, Owlgirl.
Brookeira, you are one of the stars on here in my eyes. I really admire you, for the sake of more then your writing. THere is so much I look up to in you...and In my eyes...you are probably one of my favirite people.
I don't want to have favorites, but it is a thing that comes naturally. There is this certain group of people I think I would thrive with in real life, and we just work together so well.
I also really dont like naming favorites and the one person I don't really respect.....Because then everyone will try to be in my book.
Either that or everybody will hate me....I wouldn't be surprised, of course. And sorry about my post on Sombody's thread...It was really random, inconsiderate....and made no sense whatsoever. Also I definitely overexaggerated hating that person. I don't dislike them THAT much, but just don't like some things they have said.
Also if anybody reads this and thinks that it is them, it's not. Just trust me.
Even the person I dislike is lovely....
Brookeira....do you have Camp Nano?

Also, you cannot leave because you must keep reading my Ski Lodge. *smiles*

Aw, thanks! I feel warm and happy.
(BTW, I'm not leaving. Darn, I should really make a thread stating that!)
@Katydid: I do have a Camp Nano! I'm Poison and Cupcakes.
I'm so flattered, though... I can't thank you enough. I really needed this at the moment, what with going through the Hades-scape known as puberty and hormones.
Really, I think you two (Katydid and Owlgirl) are probably some of the genuinely nicest people on the CB... you're both so creative and full of life. Your kindness has really helped shape the CB into a better place.
So once again, thank you so much!

Aw Brookeira, that makes me feel warm and happy.
I saw that the Admins closed your thread asking if you should leave or not, and I really had some things to say, so I made a new thread with my reply...sorry if that annoyed you Admins.

Exactly. Brookeira, I see you as one of the people who makes the CB what it is, and holds it together. Your RPs are so amazing and creative, and I can't think of the CB without you. When I think of the Chatterbox, one of the first people I think of is you. I don't think that you are controlling; you just have strong opinions. Like me, and like everyone else on the CB. I really hope you don't leave, because if you do, the CB would really miss you. None of us want you to leave, and I hope you don't, either. I agree with what Owlgirl said about you not trying to hide from your mistakes. You stand up and admit that you made a mistake, and that is something that I really admire. Please do not leave, Brookeira, because we love you. And we'll be here for you, no matter what.

Brookeira, please don't! Thank you, Owlgirl, for saying this. You are an amazing writer, and every time I read something you wrote, I think, Wow, I wish I could be like that. That is true good writing. But you are also more than that. You are human, honest, and kind. You seem like a friend to everyone. You truly love the CB, and want what's best for it. I really love your outgoing personality, your kindness, and the importance that every one of your comments has. You nevr post just for the sake of posting. When I first came on the CB, you were one of my idols, and you remain one to this day. I was SO happy when you came back. Please, please, do not leave again? I wish I knew you in real life.
*hugs*
Please?

I'm so glad you're staying, Brookeira! I don't correspond with you very often, but I feel your impact on CB none the less. You are really, truly sparkling-- that seems the best way to describe it. You are like the crystal-star at the heart of the Chatterbox-- thank you so much for all that you do! :)

Oh, pheuph, you're staying! YAAAAAAY!*hugs*
