Maryn Takes a Bow

Maryn · Nov 19, 2010

Besides spending way too much time here at AW, I help writers (mostly teens) at other sites when I can. I give the referral link to AW to the ones who seem open to learning how to write better, or market their work, or avoid scams. (Which is not many, to be frank. Maybe fifteen percent. The rest are either open only to praise or so hopelessly bad with written language that I just don't see it happening.)

I don't know that it's a major accomplishment, but I hit 100 referrals today. If even a quarter of them give Mac as little as five bucks, that's $125 for AW, which is cool.

Maryn, bowing [uh-oh, my hat fell off]

That's a good reminder. I haven't chipped in lately.

I think we should all bow to you.

Only carefully, so we don't bump heads.

SP, bruised.

Maryn · Nov 19, 2010

There's a witticism lurking, about one of us skewering the other with demon horns, but I can't quite make it work. So let's pretend I did and it was hilariously brilliant.

I'll donate $30 if scarletpeaches will use an avatar of Carrot Top for a day.

Oh, wait. I'd have to look at the damn thing.

I'll donate $30 if scarletpeaches promises to never use an avatar of Carrot Top.

Are you accusing one of us of being on the demonic side?

Well I've never heard the like!

SP, horny.

That would be great if it sparkled.

scarletpeaches · Nov 19, 2010

I hate you.

Silver King · Nov 19, 2010

Maryn, I'd bet that's a record.

(I used to think those referrals were given to members who got into trouble and were written up and sent to the principal's office.)

I bet you say that to all the boys.

Haggis · Nov 19, 2010

Congrats, Maryn. That's impressive.

Haggis, wondering how to check his own referrals count

In your user profile / Statistics.

Caitlin Black · Nov 19, 2010

You don't want me referring people from elsewhere on the Internet. Those other people are filthy.

Congrats Maryn!

Congratufabulations!

Ordinarily I'd make a joke about bowing and 'going down'.
But I don't seem able to come up with the punchline.

Sorry

I lurve you.

Snowstorm · Nov 19, 2010

Well, well done, Maryn!

Snowstorm, awed by Maryn (as usual).

MacAllister · Nov 19, 2010

Maryn, I've just looked. That is, in fact, a record--and by quite a comfortable margin.

You rock, woman!

(This is how she's managed to avoid the shock collar all these years, in spite of my best efforts to sweet-talk her into it.)

Caitlin Black · Nov 19, 2010

*I* never get offered the shock collar... *sniff*

Perhaps it's because I'm a rascal with no sense of justice?

You have three. Only ninety-seven more to go before you catch up to Maryn, so get busy.

Caitlin Black · Nov 19, 2010

Or perhaps it's because I just used the word "rascal"...

Be careful what you wish for . . .

Caitlin Black · Nov 19, 2010

Eh, I'll never be offered Modship. This is my way of coming to terms with my distinct indistinctness.

Caitlin Black · Nov 19, 2010

Maryn for President! (Er, Mod...)

*Stares wistfully into the middle-distance*

*sighs*

Those were the days.

Shadow_Ferret · Nov 19, 2010

Wait...

we're supposed to refer people here? I thought we were supposed to keep it our little secret.
