Ahh!! First thing in my mailbox and THIS is what I see? What does this
mean for the list? When our petty squabling can force great writers of the
list it's a sign that something must be done on a personal level, lest we
be <gasp> moderated!

I wouldn't exactly call myself a "great" writer, but 
thanks for the compliment. I just like to write, and 
it is nice that you guys like to read it... ^^ hugs

I have just received a LOT of really mean mail from a 
couple of people on the list and I am just really sick of 
it. That's why I am leaving for awhile. The list is 
supposed to be FUN not stressful/painful.

sigh

I will be back in a couple of weeks, I just need to relax 
without certain individuals breathing down my neck.

I didn't mean to say that everyone was being an ass, just a 
few people. I overreacted a bit, I apologize. I just 
think that there was WAY too much public critisim that 
turned into bashing. I must admit I participated a few 
times, and that bothers me because I think I have only 
sent maybe 3 "I hated this story" messages in the 
entire 1-year+ that I have been on this list. In the 
past three weeks I have just received some really 
unecessary mail from people, and I can't handle it 
anymore because I end up lashing back. I apologize for 
anything I have said that was untoward, I am just all 
f***** up at the moment and I had some jerk STALKING 
me and I am living 8000 miles away from everyone I 
know and care about. Not to mention that I am studying 
24 hours a day.

Just let me take two weeks and hopefully people will have 
posted some more cool fics like "Hiroshi and D are Dead", 
"Lemon Sherbert", "Y.C.D.T.O.T", "Chasing the Wind", 
"Moonlight and Cherrypie" and other great stuff that 
has been out lately. Maybe Willmore will even finally 
start working on the main R2096 story again. Hey! I 
can dream...

I need to catch up on my backlog too... maybe I will 
finally read your story Panda-chan ^^ I promise I will 
someday... ^^

If you remember, please send me a copy of your stories to 
mdp102@york.ac.uk

hugs and thanks...
