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

Hello Jodan, hope all is well with you. I also left a message on the GW site. I guess they don't know what they are missing....

Hi there Haven't heard from you in a while. That might be more because of my slacking off in the UG than anything else though.

Yup.
I was lurking in your thread with jwf and went to your page to find the thread, so I felt inspired and left a message of my own.

GW and h2g2 are very different - they take themselves and their works more seriously there. I don't know if the AWW is active enough for some of their tastes. I was appealing them to help make it active enough for the tastes of some of the serious writers.

Haven't had the chance to see your latest yet... what with the holidays and RL and PR. However, the AWW is always enriched with the presence of new material, so keep on trucking

Well you haven't been the only one slacking off..... Still, I hope my latest entry makes up for it all.

BTW, saw your photograph in the album. Not bad matey, not bad!

Flame

Eh? Photograph? Album?

Can you point me in that direction?

At the moment no, lol. Maybe it wasn't you, maybe somebody else. Forgive me, I'm a blonde!

BTW, are my threads with JWF really worth the following?

Hi Jodan, There seems to be a lot of 'argy bargy' going on over at GW concerning any possible merger with h2g2. It will be interesting to see how it all pans out don't you think?

FOGGY

Yes, it will . I'm impressed with the GW'ers I've dealt with.
Normally, I wouldn't work on this sort of thing because I'm very busy and I don't carry as much influence as I used to, but I'm rather surprised this hasn't been discussed

Jimster warned us today that we might be sticking our noses where they don't belong, but I wouldn't worry too much about the italic warnings. As much as anything else, they just don't want us to appear to be preying on the loss of a site. He also warned us that as h2g2 isn't a fiction site, so we should make sure that any GW'ers traversing across the border shouldn't expect a fiction site like the one they had in Get Writing.

Of course, there's wiggle room there in that h2g2 has developed into the EG and Community, with the Community encompassing the creative writing corner.

(sorry, went on a bit of a rant there, I just need to get my thoughts sorted before I make any replies. Thanks)

Well, being an active member of the creative corner I've always been more than happy. Should by any chance that corner become busier, and need more volunteers over the next few months, I'd be prepared to offer my services to help out.

Anyway, isn't it better to stick your nose somewhere it isn't wanted -rather than look down it?

Foggy

I think it would definitely be good to get more volunteers. I think we need to make it clear that there's an unofficial system where creative writing won't be driven by the front page, but if anyone wants to take advantage of that, then they should be reminded it's volunteer-driven.

Hmm, very true.

Hello there! It's way past my betime but I started on this story this afternoon and just had to get it finished. I might need to adjust it here and there but it's almost there. A3425393.

Merry Christmas Jodan!

Hello! Thanks for reading The Witness. I realize that some people might feel uncomfortable reading such a story. Even so, I'd like to think that perhaps it 'disturbed' you more than 'disgusted' you. But whatever, I'm glad it provoked a strong reaction.

Cheers,

Foggy

You say I say ...

The fact that it could provoke any reaction, especially strong, is always good.
