Retired

I have been a little quiet here, I know. I am just totally bummed out.

I was the mod on three Yahoo sites for Slash, but had to resign last night. Not only has RL kicked in, but Yahoo was being a bitch. I couldn't give feedback to fic, had problems posting anything, and a whole load of stuff I should, at least be trying to reply to, ended up in Spam. This all ment I couldn't do the Mod stuff.

I do get notifications of mail, just cannot respond. In fact a whole load of mail today, and The Mistress has made a nice post to say I am no longer a mod, and getting replies. I cannot respond to them. I will just have to try and make a post to say thank you, and leave it at that.

The muse also seems to have disappeared.

But, this you really need to read. I promise, I'm so busy I will be leaving communities. If a reccing comm doesn't rec this story, it is out. This is perfect Spike, and the Original Character is a delight. It is Gen, but hell, a good story is a good story it is by [livejournal.com profile] shapinglight, at the [livejournal.com profile] decade_of_spike community, and the link is Scoop here

Spike is my main character, he is the one I will read. So this story is a must read!

Oh, honeybun, I am so sorry. I post to the Yahoo groups and was saddened at the news, but I know you have to do whatever you have to do.

I hope you can still find time to comment in your journal, as I'd hate to see that go, too. You always leave such wonderful fb for me and I always look forward to reading your lj.

Take care, my darling. You know that I love you.

Thank You, yes I will keep up with LJ, despite it's problems, at least I can read and reply to people. I just don't have time to fight with Yahoo for every post I make. and not being able to reply! Just a drag!

*hugs* Love You!

Sorry to hear RL is being such a sod to you at the moment love. I do hope that things improve on all fronts real soon.

Thank You Sue! Yes, a bit busy, but will try my best to keep up. At least the guilt of not being a good mod on the Yahoo group will help I hope!

Thanks very much for the pimp and so sorry that RL is being such a pain right now.

It was my pleasure, and well deserved! I guess RL has its way!

Hi honey, hope you don't mind me replying. We got your post on the yahoo groups, everyone is sad you have had to leave as a mod.
I sort of feel a bitch, cos it's me that has replaced you. I just got an email asking would I do it, not realising it was you that had left. Sablerose has the same first name as you, and as she is having a hell of a time in rl I thought it was her, but when I spoke to her she said no, it's the other one.
Hope you get your life back on track sometime soon, and if you wanted the mod job back, I would of course step down. Hugs ya and hopes your ok. I think people are doing there best to keep me busy, they know I'm hating this sitng around doing nothing much lark. Val x

Always a pleasure to hear from you Val! It was not just the RL, but also Yahoo being a bitch to me as well. I couldn't even post my fic, cos I couldn't even reply to feedback....also it ended up in Spam.

I am delighted you are able to take over. It really makes me pleased. I'm sure you will do well.

*snuggles you*
don't wander too far away honey...
understand about RL of course.

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/woman_of_/ 2007-09-24 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, I just couldn't do the Mod stuff at all. On LJ it isn't such a problem but with Yahoo being a bitch, then I just had to throw my hands up and give up!

*snuggles You*

*clings to you* I'm no going to let you go too far from me honey *shakes head*

Sorry RL and mail problems are driving you nuts...

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/woman_of_/ 2007-09-24 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
*clings to you too*, not going to far. Will be here. *Loves You*

yes the mail was the problem. I just was getting nowhere with it. But LJ is better, so sticking to it!

Thanks for the rec. And enjoy your retirement!

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/woman_of_/ 2007-09-24 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Glad you enjoyed the rec! I will, yahoo just was not working for me, and bringing me down!

[identity profile] shinodabear.livejournal.com 2007-09-24 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry RL is being its usual self. *hugs* Hope things improve for you, sweetie.

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/woman_of_/ 2007-09-24 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank You! Yes, these things happen I guess! *hugs*

I have been a little quiet here, I know. I am just totally bummed out.

Oh, that's too bad. Hopefully rl lets up at least. Just hang in tight, and remeber that this all passes. Sometimes it's down right healthy to take a break from something, even if you enjoy it (e.g. fic/ LJ), so that it stays fresh and your ability to find enjoyment in it remains. *hugs*

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/woman_of_/ 2007-09-25 02:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Very true, sometimes pays to take a little break. Keep things fresh.

*hugs*

sorry you feel so bummed lovely *hugs* I certainly understand the struggle to balance RL and moding. I know we haven't done much there yet, but are you wanting to step down from rarebtvs? No worries either way sweets. I hope your muse comes back and things get better *squishes*

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/woman_of_/ 2007-09-25 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Might be an idea! I just haven't had time to do anything like the tags and memories. I thought it would get better after [livejournal.com profile] writerconuk was done, but totally been unable to do anything.

I think it might get better later, in about a couple of weeks!

[identity profile] mentalme85.livejournal.com 2007-09-27 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
It's just one thing after another sometimes isn't it? *squishes*
Is that a yes to stepping down? Or maybe wait a couple of week and see how things go? We could always find someone to help us out.

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/woman_of_/ 2007-09-27 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I will wait a couple of weeks, and see how things go. It isn't really a busy community, and if I can get a couple of hours on a Sunday, could do all the tags and memories.

*hugs*
