There.

Kaitie was feeling all alone amidst a pack of baying thriller and mystery writers. But we shall not be overrun, we of the middle-anxiety-to-confusion-ratio scribes. Though we live in a haze of making an exciting muddle of scenarios that we hope are in some way believable, we sometimes feel on the fringe of bolder plots that imperil the world, or even the universe. And we know that whodunnit is sometimes less of a quandary than whydunnit or how much it deserved to be dun. So we are marginalized in our shades-of-grey commitment, but we are strong. And we are eloquent. Sometimes.

So, here I am to stand with you, Kaitie.

Oh man. This just had me rolling. We shall stand hand in hand above this crowd of mystery-writing miscreants and bask in our superiority!

I mean uh...uh...I probably shouldn't call the people with in-depth knowledge of how to plan a murder miscreants, huh?

Quick, Perks! Say something writerly!

I suppose an objective third party would have to read our respective WIPs to judge who's lumpier in the id.

This is getting tricky.

Eeeek! There she is. God, how you startled me. Don't sneak up on people like that.

I see now why they wanted to know if I was afraid of you. You're quite looming and toothsome.


(P.S. Hi, heyjude. I don't know if we've ever interacted on these boards. Don't mind me. I'm an idiot. But I've heard you are a very good writer.)

I had something for this...
Which was... what? It was either for me to make a completely unsubstantiated claim or to make Kaitie feel less alone.

I'm not sure, Perks. That OP had like 50 words in it, or something. Some of them were multi-syllablallic, too! I didn't get much past the "Kaitie was..." part, actually.

you had him at "There". But you lost him at "feeling"...which really is a damn shame.

He likes feeling stuff... and stuff.

Wow lol...this makes me sound all kinds of pathetic, doesn't it?
