Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

I'm sorry, guys....

I'm sorry, guys....

I thought this was the right place for me, but it seems I was wrong. I thought it was strengthening me, improving me, but it was poisoning me from the start. This post is the nail on my coffin lid. Farewell, my friends. 

-Scylla

Haha, gotcha! I'm not actually leaving — I didn't mean anything I said up there — quite the opposite, actually. I'm going to stay here, even if everyone else falls around me. My ship of inspiration remains firmly anchored to the Chatterbox's peaceful harbour. You're not quite rid of me yet — expect a lengthy post on my Elementi book soon, my faithful fans (that's you,  Esthelle, Leafpool, Leeli and whoever else reads it. Thank you, all of you)! 

Every day I sit on the sofa, bored out of my wits, I'm so grateful for this wonderful, slightly ridiculous community of authors and artists. Thank you so much. You people are the water to my roots. And I've made two metaphors —two metaphors — in this post alone. And I thought I was a bad poet... 

Well, enough about my poetry skills. I'm not sure as of what to say now, so......

See you around!

(Post-script: Webmaster, please attend to the issue of lag as soon as you are able. I lost several good pieces due to disconnection from the server. Thanks in advance. —S)

Please don't have a heart attack! It would probably be fatal. I can't promise that my box of surprises will be completely sealed in the future, however..... :D

Oh, my gosh you gave me a heart attack! That was terrifying! Anways, I'm SO glad you're staying! I'm one of your Elementi book fans, although I don't post much on there. It's wonderful! Oh, and admins and webmasters? Can you PLEASE attend to this lag? It takes a long time to get to a thread on the CB now! 

 

We're still not sure what's wrong. ~Admin

Yay!

Also...

Metaphors! Yay!

You, Scylla, are the binding of our book, and the CB is the rain on my crops!

Thank goodness you aren't leaving! And what is the Elementi Chronicals? I've seen you mention them before, but I don't know where they are. I'd like to read them!

I found and read the Elementi Chronicals! Great job, Scylla, they are incredible! You are a spectacular writer!

It's a book I'm writing in BaB. It's one of the main losses of posts fur to the unresponsive server. I'm glad this post was received so well! I was somewhat worried that you guys wouldn't be happy in staying.

You seriously terrifed me up there. My goodness, I think I almost fainted. (Ugh. I'm so gullible. These things get me literally every single time!)

Anyway, I'm really, really, happy that you're staying. *virtual hug*

Thank you! I could've made it a lot more convincing, though... Maybe adding a post date, and links to CaC and creating a new comment. But I didn't; maybe I will next time. Hehehe.
