h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hullo old chap. I've resurfaced and not come empty-handed. I made a posting here that you might like. http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/alabaster/F19585?thread=124799&post=2407955#p2407955 How've ye been lately?

Not too bad. Busy.

More later.

Righto. Be seeing you.

Hi again.
I hope I'm not disturbing, but I'd just like to let you know that I wrote this with you in mind. I feel you appreciate the small scribbings I have to offer and perhaps you may want to include this in your collection/compilation/publication affair. I hope I didn't take too long.

A830909 Nicoletta

Brilliant! As beautifully erotic as the first two. Perhaps more so given the darkness, the curtains, her age...

Yes, I have been busy wrapping up the final issue of AggGag (#42 of course!) But a little bird tells me Nicoletta will get her fifteen minutes of fame in sooner rather than never.
I can say no more, but trust me. Let's just pretend for the moment that Agg/Gag still exists and we can talk about how to make a few small improvements to your entry.

I noticed a few small typos such as 'was' for 'as' and few others mostly of the two and three letter word persuasion. The word 'tig' is strange to me; at first I thought you meant 'tag' but you repeated it so now I'm not sure.

I'll let you take a crack at fixing a few of the typo and spacing things (there's a paragraph of the early dialog that should be separated) but 'soon' I will lift it to another page and do some minor edits. I'll definitely let you see it again for your final approval.

I still have an e-mail address for you which I hope will still work, but if not send a new one to me via the link on my homepage.

Glad you liked it, sir.

I will indeed fix those careless erros. "Tig" is tag but British. I just felt like writing it that way. I'll give it all a once over.

My email address is still the same, though getting rather clogged with porn. I should still be able to find your messages as long as you don't title them "Hey baby, look at my pixxx" or "Crazy farm sluts gone wild!"

a presto.

OK, I'll give you a week to fiddle with it.
Then I'll quietly steal it away and play with it myself.
And when I e-mail, it will be to give you a link, pointing to the final version for your approval.
So, look for a subject line that says:
"Corinth, come this way!"
That ought to stand out firmly and proudly.

*fiddling*

It has been hidden by the Moderators .
I hope they have e-mailed you with suggestions on how to avoid further complaints. As I've just posted in the 'friendly girls' thread I'm disappionted that after being visible for two weeks some has hit the Yikes button. And it certainly didn't break any laws in my country. Mildly erotic, but unless you specifically say she was under 18 (16 in most countries) then it not kiddie pron or advocating 'statutory rape'.
Keenly intersted to hear what they've said to you. And eager to support your freedom of speech rights, given that certain laws must be observed and a certain decorum for the kiddies must be maintained on this 'family viewing' website.
H2G2 has a policy that 'you must have parental permission to surf here if you're under 16' so I imagine the age of consent in the UK has been lowered to 16 as it has in most modern countries. But quite honestly having to state her age as being 'more than' whatever they cosndier legal age, is contrary to the artistic purpose of the piece.

OK I'll stop ranting and raving, but keep me in the picture and let me know what's happening with it.
I really wish I'd pinched a copy sooner.

Hello. Yes, saw what they had done after I got your message. I then checke my email and there was a computer generated message there saying "you broke the rules in some way" without really specifying how. I wrote back asking them to do so and received another computer generated message saying that I had not, after all, broken any rules. Odd, no? Alls well that ends well, I suppose...

PS. You may want to make your copy before it happens again.

Ah good. I hope the wisdom which seems to have prevailed will also set a permanent flag on the piece so that it won't happen again. Obviously, anyone can hit a Yikes button at any time, and the Moderators are obliged to hide things until it is resolved by the Italic editorial decision makers.
The right decision has been made this time, but if someone continues to yikes it, the Mods will probably keep hiding it unless a permanent Italics' 'ok' is stamped on it.
I may have to add a disclaimer to my Intro saying it may or may not be there at the link, depending on the weather and the prevailing mood of the moralist masses.
I'll let you know where my copy is when it's ready for your final approval.

Well, my copy just got 'Hidden' too. No e-mail rec'd.

And while they were at they took away my entire homepage.
I did get an email saying that was because someone found a broken link to an old h2g2 picture of 'Marvin'. I have since deleted that link and restored my homepage which so far remains visible.

I also re-posted my copy of your entry with a note to Moderators suggesting this was old news and that it had already passed muster elsewhere. Oh dear, I also included the link to your original at A830909 so yours may disappear again if the evening shift is as keen to monkey wrench the works of honest men as they appear to be...

Hopefully the Editors will soon get this settled once and for all.

Yup, sure enough, A830909 is gone again.

They sent me an email saying they actually read it this time, and they didn't like it. There's no accounting for taste, I suppose. I've posted the text of the email in the nice girls conversation.

What, oh what shall we do?

My copy is gone again as well.

To avoid persecution for 'spamming' I will not repeat my reactions here but invite you to see my comments in the friendly girls thread.

Ditto.
