Hey Vee just so you know, I've been here thru it all. I'm just playing the game. :)

Glad my impression was correct. Keep playing. You too, Vee. It's an entertaining read for a Sunday afternoon. I keep wondering when planets will collide.

No, I'm done with it. I'm just playing the waiting game now.

Although it does make me wonder how people got the idea I was writing a soap pilot. Never in my life!

Still waiting for your pic John. ;)

No pic from Vee - no pic from me.

P. S. I see you commented on everyone's pic, but haven't posted your own pic... :P

No time to explain now, you didn't get a thing.

Don't rely on me to up any antes if this little "folie" goes moribund. I don't have the wit. :D

Which brings me to your second comment. It's an assumption I could have made. Was I the one who made it (those late night cocktails.. never know)? What I mean is almost every good writer here, and a few who aren't so good, has divulged that aspiration. Speaking as someone who struggles with the written word in two languages, I assumed your posts were from someone who writes and writes well. From there it's not a stretch to believe you could be.

If you aren't maybe you should.

Oh, I'm not waiting on any of us, don't worry.

No, Sylph seemed to think I was writing a soap pilot. Though judging by the last comment maybe I completely misunderstood. I do write, and I had a background in screenwriting and journalism in HS and college, but IMHO I'm a long way from doing it for a living, and if I ever do it won't be for the soaps though I do love them. I love other things more. I'd write for them if I could do it without compromising future ambitions, but I don't think I could in this day and age. I'm just focused on paying the bills and writing and making a portfolio in my free time, so it's strictly menial office jobs and temping for me, I just got out of school.

That's another reason you don't see me doing fanfic like a lot of people here: Do I have enough ideas for the shows to fill one, sure, would I like to, sure, but I wouldn't know where to begin in writing it, for one thing, whether it would be in something like breakdowns or dialogued scenes, whichever way I tried to articulate ideas wouldn't do it justice. Also, I don't want to be able to be tracked professionally back to amateur online fanfic.

I swear to God, people have learned nothing. DTS today is the biggest circle jerk I have ever seen.

yeah, thats the truth. i fnnaly decided to block an obsessivecrasypsychofanlover who almost even made me hate on one of my fave couples. now id like to block one posted thats obsesed wih the beef, but i cant seem to do it yet. i wish they could just get banned...

And I'm not talking about McTavish. I'm talking about the magical Internet scuttlebutt about a certain "unappreciated writer". Isn't this exactly the way Kenny and other posters got scammed? Now we have the same thing, just different screen names and different people getting scammed. You have one unsuspecting poster retelling these little stories to the board, to the same person who gave them the stories in the first place, only under a different name. I don't understand why it hasn't been stopped given what happened the last time.

what exactly happend? because i know we were not to speak of the beef and all and i know summen happend, but what?

  • Member
It's nice to know what people think about you. Even if it isnt nice what they say about you.

What happened?

I don't have a picture, I'm a mongoloid, you see. Remember the guy in Mask? That's me. Well, no, but you're still not getting a picture.

Oy vey. Haven't participated in or read DTS lately, but if it's happening again... pretty sad.

I just want to take the time to thank someone who i didn't always get along with, but brought something to my attention yesterday that the admins are going to try and handle right away.

And Shawn, what's up with you?
