Where'd you go?

You are an ACE - or so you say in your name - so presumably you have been involved in more than three or four conversations here. smiley - erm

Tell me true, were you upset by the comments in the AWW about your short story? If so - I really am sorry about that. The crazy thing is I really like what you wrote - you can convey atmosphere well, and there was an energy, and a vibrancy and a tension in the thing. There are writers who would cut off a limb to be able to write like that.

What I said was intended to be an outsider's view so that you could get a better understanding of where the piece worked and where it didn't. It was a personal reaction, that's all. It is the kind of thing I find useful for my own poems and prose.

So - please clear up the mystery for me - are you an ACE? - have you decided to leave H2G2? - If so, why? - And will you reinstate your entry in the AWW? As I said - it really does have a certain something.

Unlike Peer Review, most of the people who post in the AWW write creative pieces themselves - they know what it is like, and genuinely want to help.

And if it was something I said - then I really am more sorry than I can say.

Ben

Whoa. I don't know what was up. as my name says... I have been having some serious issues lately. Not an excuse, just an explanation. I have worked through most of them, but one of the symptoms of my (fugues? I don't know what to call them) issues is to drink an exorbitant amount of alcohol. I don't remember what was said that upset me, or, looking back, why whatever it was upset me so much that I went all childish. I am not an ACE... a donkey maybe, but not an ACE.

I'll try posting it again if y'all would still like, and if I can find it and didn't hunt it down and delete it from my pc.

Please accept this as my most humble apology for a thoroughly horrible tantrum. I throw them only rarely, and find myself spectaularly embarrassed when I succumb. And then I have been really busy at work, do I haven't spent much time banging on my home pc.

Anyway, before anyone breaks down in tearssmiley - wah, I will leave off this groveling... but allow me to apologize profusely one last time.
