Random acts of encouragement

[strangetomato]

 

I just received a very encouraging comment that really made my day, and maybe my whole week. It's funny how that works. Not to say that other comments are of lesser value, because I appreciate it when anyone says anything at all about something I've created, but this was just so random and heartfelt. :) It makes me want to jump back in, full force. Hiatus smiatus... it was a weak one to begin with (and I saw you all LOLing at me because I couldn't really stay away). I'm quite honestly afraid I'm going to mess the whole thing up by mangling up my own plot, but I'm going to just try my best and ask that you to ignore my failings. Well, please do point them out so I can try to fix them, but forgive me if get tangled up.

Booyeah! This week was amazing. First the cultofrances and now this. :D Oh, and this drawing also made my day earlier in the week. It's an embarrassment of riches.

I'm glad you're coming back! You're such a presence in the Sims Community, we'd miss you if you ever ACTUALLY left. :P

Also, the drawing is amazing! When I saw the link I almost thought it was of Coppertone Frances. :P

I'm really curious to what this encouraging comment was. I'm so glad it made you so happy. :D

And it's great that my little (okay, it's not so little now considering that it now has FORTY PEOPLE. O_o) cult made you happy too. It sure is a fun place- and I hope it stays that way come simsecrets. Oh man, I have a feeling there's going to be a bunch of really entertaining ones because of us!

I think that an embarrassment of riches would be more fitting if you were talking about the Frances drawing that she did! :P That one was cute too though.

I'm so excited that you're not going on haitus too. :D

Yay! I'm so glad your hiatus didn't actually last. Don't make that mean that you have to push yourself to update though - it's harder to write when you *have* to, isn't it?

I loved that picture from beyondheroism :)

Don't worry about mangling your plot - if you do that, you can fix it later on and be all *ALTERNATEUNIVERSEGUISE* even though we'll know it's because you stuffed it ;)

I'm so super happy that you're back! Your story is one of the most awesome stories EVER! Yay for no more hiatuses! WOOOOOOO! YEAH! (I'm kinda hyper right now) WOOHOO! STRANGETOWN! YEAH! I can't wait to see more JRO. And even if your plot gets horribly mangled, we'll still love it. Don't worry. Alternate universes are awesome.
*is very happy*

You are loved and appreciated in the community. People really enjoy your story! You were one of the Sims story writers that inspired me to try my own story. <3

This picture reminds me SO MUCH of propaganda from the world wars. I see Ripp wearing a bonnet and an apron and saying "We can do it!" and/or "buy war bonds!"

...Minus, of course, the making-outage in the background. That's somewhat less reminiscent.

Glad to see you back.

*Squee* That drawing was so adorable. It warmed the cockles of my heart.

I am popping in for a bit to say AWESOME. I'm glad that you'll be moving forward again. Haha, I love that you can't stay away. The Sims comm holds little interest for me if you just totally disappeared one day.

I'm glad that I could help make your week a little more awesome. :D

I'm glad you're back. How many times have you went on hiatus again? ~just kidding~

Hmmmm your failings...

You make Ripp say "fuck" too much. Ophelia has a blonde hair, that is unnatural! DO YOU EVER SEE THAT IN REAL LIFE. There are aliens, obviously, because you're cliquey and that's the only kind of story you'll read. You have an alien clique. ALSO ALIENS AREN'T REALISTIC EITHER! You're WAY too obsessed with your characters. There are probably more things I find wrong about your story, but I'm going to make secrets of those!

I think my heart just pitter-patted a bit. Ripp! My favorite. And I'm so glad it made you happy (was a bit afraid I'd come off like random internet stalker), I meant every word.

...I really should make an LJ so I don't have to keep up with this anon poster nonsense..

I'm so ashamed that I could read what Ripp said. I think it only took so long because I'm exhausted.

Yay for things that make you happy! We need more of that!
