Lauren's Lair: Here be dragons...

[Sephirah]

You don't need a plot twist. You only need a story that relates to the person telling it as it relates to the reader. When someone understands the author, they understand their work. It's like Sarah with her photography. When you see what makes someone tick, it all makes sense.

All right, just attach my garbage here please, so we can get this over with ) It's dinnertime at my place. Please, no need for all that praise and adoration.

*hugs*

There's my iron maiden. <3

There's every need for the praise and adoration. You are too hard on yourself.

Damn the wind is really whipping around these parts.

[Sephirah]

I don't see an option to insert something outside of staff privilege. I might be missing something. I have your work though, Whisper. Would be more than willing to email

[Alana Ashleigh]

I hope you bought 58 loo rolls Lauren. It's an emergency you know.

Joking aside, spare a thought for poor Tills in her new home. I think the West Coast of Scotland is where it will be worst. Our American chums will probably laugh as it's only 90mph winds but for us, that's extreme!

I've lived in the Midwest my entire life. I don't bat an eye at 40-50 mph winds. I've been a few derechos, and a microburst. That's the closest I've ever been to seeing 90 mph winds. Stay safe, Lauren.

I never knew what a derecho was until looking into the weather you folks have, Alana. It sounds utterly wild. Like the atmosphere just decides to throw a hissy fit.

It is calm where I am now. Bright skies, birds singing.. I am a little bit disappointed haha.

[Stottie Girl]

Still here. I haven't been blown off to OZ. Was well wild last night. My roof is still on! Other than my garden plants being a bit smashed up it looks like I've escaped unscathed. Glorious sunny day this morning. Still a bit breesey but I think that's the last of the storms for spring hopefully.

[Sephirah]

Haha I knew it. Charlie Dimmock. Green fingered goddess.

Not so much now Lauren. Have you seen her lately? yikes!!

Yes I have green fingers, I do like gardening. I am an old fart!

No haha. Not since she was bullying Alan Titchmarsh probably 20 years ago.

Anyone who can do gardening stuff is quite amazing. If you are an old fart, Sarah, then we could create a symphony of rear end emanations.

And that is the oddest compliment I've ever received and I think I love you more for it ha ha! You're as weird as me!

If it is okay with the two of you, I would love to read 'Silent Hill.'
Happy Easter!

It's a supernatural horror based on a video game Anni! Probably not for the faint hearted! But I too would like to take a peep one day.

If Lauren is impressed (and she is excellent at writing) then it must be good! No pressure though Careless Whisper (Do you prefer Whisper). I would probably be too scared to put anything I had written out there.

[Sephirah]

While looking through my documents, I found a story that I had been working on. And literally do not remember writing it. I swear my brain is composed of 67% cabbage, 23% sawdust and 10% rodent droppings. And since I normally use the quick reply function rather than the full post box. I completely missed the giant, emboldened "Click or drag files here to attach them."

*facepalm*

The file won't attach in .rtf format. Changing it to plain text makes it go extremely weird.

You might need to use a hosting site like we do for photos. Something like Google Docs if you have a Google account.

[Sephirah]

It's all good. I had to convert it to a .doc file so SMF would accept it.

This is Whisper's Silent Hill short story. It is in Russian so you'll likely need a translator. I use Deepl 🔗 [Link: deepl.com/en/translator/]. It seems to be rather good.

She is an amazing writer.

So what you you folks do, send Dave back across the pond?  Because it is blowing like crazy here now.  The wind is a constant roar, and gusts are making the house shake, rattle, and roll.

Oof! Stay safe, Kathy. I mean maybe there was some kind of collective anti-rain dance, I can't possibly confirm nor deny such a thing...

Yeah stay safe Kathy! Dave's still sniffing around up here, it is still a bit blowy. Because of the Jetstream you usually send your weather over here to be fair. We often get the remanants of your hurricanes.
