I've pretty much changed my mind about wanting to be involved with this, actually. Good luck, Thomp.

(That "good luck" not sarcastic BTW, hope that you can sway the mods.)

why don't you just colonize an underused board?
― sarahel, Wednesday, 14 July 2010 18:48 (thirteen years ago) link
Oh goody! I see at least one poster who I've never seen posting on ILB but who has all of sudden felt the need to police the board, which coincidentally involves having a go at Kate!!

To be fair, my reaction was exactly the same, he just beat me to it.

so wait, what happened to the board? i need it right now. let's make this happen, dudes!

I don't know. Why not give whatever-it-is its own thread here, and writer types can just colonise that nook on ILB in the meantime?
― Ismael Klata, Friday, 23 July 2010 22:17 (thirteen years ago) link
dear homosexual ii, the idea was tabled because of issues w/r/t whether the board oughta be public or not/ whether ilx was an appropriate home for it
― thomp, Friday, 23 July 2010 22:32 (thirteen years ago) link
well i think the answer to both of those is yes

Are we going to do this? ILX makeover in session

Hasn't been too long since somebody started yet another writing thread on ILB, soon submerged, like previous(one guy came back long enough to report that he and another poster had taken their discussion offsite). Nothing against starting a board, but better not to expect very much (ditto constructive/any feedback on your ilx posts overall).

A certain recently-retired ilxor offered to give me feedback on something after I gave him about 2 pages of feedback on something of his (at a delay of around 2 or 3 days). He put it off 2 weeks running then never got back to me. That was about 3 months ago. I haven't written anything since. The lesson here is not to depend on anybody for feedback
― imago, Sunday, 4 March 2018 00:04 (six years ago) link
I don't even really blame him tbh, he was clearly busier than me and giving feedback can be much more daunting than receiving it. but it can't be relied upon. I need to get on with writing
― imago, Sunday, 4 March 2018 00:13 (six years ago) link
I have a question
Is that deadnaming or what

Ask, accept, but don't depend. There's a reason teachers are paid to do this sort of thing. It's work.

maybe he doesn't thrive in the long forms. just be glad we get his pithy remarks and witty wordplay.

Too kind even at that tbh

The board actually already exists, 77-style. It's just that no-one's been invited to it. If enough people post here and put their hands up I'll happily invite them. Going to keep it private though I think.
― Matt DC, Sunday, 4 March 2018 17:18 (six years ago) link
why private?

are there any people you'll unhappily invite

I returned to the 3.5 chapters I wrote a few months ago and found that (with a couple of minor tweaks) I really liked them, which was a nice surprise as I've been in a sort of stymied hibernation for ages, doubting whether this is anything at all. I guess I'll proceed
