Hrm...well...bad joke? The list has been quiet since Rod pulled his
disappearing act. He
used to post weekly themes and challenges and the list was overflowing with fic. Shadow and I being the twisted little bards that we are, came up with the idea of writting a silly fic...just to keep the list amused and get some sort of discussion going. It was not a 'bad joke' nor was it meant to be. It was simply meant to be fun and carefree and a wonderful example of what happens when Shadow and I have too much time on our hands. Just because it didn't have a title or author or part number, doesn't mean that it wasn't fic. Diana Replies: (To the list only because I could not find Kimber's email

Kimber,
There seems to be some kind of misunderstanding concerning this joke. I say
"joke" because that was how it was identified to me.
Yes, I did express my displeasure, of Riley, once again, being made of into
a joke--in the form of what I thought of as a return joke to the
list. And also "privately" to Pat Kelly.
And if I recall--I am uncomfortable quoting private emails on a list but I
think my wording to shadowlander when he asked me about my "private"
email to Pat Kelly was -- I didn't like the "joke" but there was
nothing I could or would do about it.
As for your writing--I'm sorry you feel like you want to stop writing over
the comment "bad joke." As I have told you both privately and on
the list that I think you are a wonderful writer that I enjoy greatly! And
after Ivy Gort, (Brigit Healy) was literally in tears for a week after taking
something you said on the list out of context and a little too personally, I
should have been more careful about my wording. (BTW: you
Faith fans will be happy to know that Ivy is trying to start to write again--by
finishing her Faith story Time-Travel.)
So, let me be the first to offer you a public apology about my bad joke
comment.... And go back to the lurking.
