Hallo, folks.

Heater here. First of all, I just want to thank everyone for their good wishes over the last few months, and fling appreciation at those of you who have put up with slow tags and dropped threads since I got back online. As most of you know, I'm using voice recognition software because typing is still impossible. It is finicky and frustrating, but far better than nothing at all.

The software (or Frank as he has been dubbed) presents several problems when it comes to threading, the most significant being that I lose my voice fairly easily. This is why I have been shying away from entrance posts as of late. I've been trying to come up with solutions to this that don't involve unexpectedly hopping offline mid-thread. For the foreseeable future, I think the best thing for me to do is to make a blanket request that anyone interested in tagging pings me before doing so. This also holds for [livejournal.com profile] doc_evil, [livejournal.com profile] turtle_wexler and [livejournal.com profile] princess_thayet, all of whom will hopefully have entrance posts soon.

And this is why I have a new screen name: eccofiore.

However, I ask that it be used sparingly. I'm not up for crackchat yet, and it takes me forever to navigate between windows. Frank hates AIM with a fiery passion. Please, please don't be upset if you ping and it takes me forever to respond, or I go quiet. This in no way means I don't want to talk to you. In fact, it's rather the opposite, and I'll get back around to it eventually.

So! I'm going to give this a try and see how it goes with entrance posts. If you have any questions that don't need an immediate answer, or want to request threads, please e-mail me at: heathermerin at Yahoo.com. Thank you all for everything. I'm so happy to be playing again. :D!

*scolds Frank*

I would very much like a thread for Ingress and Alanna sometime soon. The days you've been playing have been days I wasn't feeling so hot or had work, etc.

Mayhap we could arrange a slowtime?

Oh yes definitely. *glompsback and avows to keep an eagle eye out for Turtle's next entrance post* *or, alternately, make sure all of Mary's entrance posts are Turtle-friendly*



Also the Prince thinks Alanna is a strange name - strange, but beautiful!

... pay no attention to the evil doctor.

Alanna: Er, thank you! *contemplates shaving head, so as to prevent hair climbing*

Dwarves are very upsetting. :(

*hugs* I am so glad to hear from you, Heather! That all sounds pretty sucky, but you seem to be dealing, and dealing is good. Yes.

I, of course, would love to thread with you, but whenever your are too tired/your voice is too scratchitty, I get that. *nodnod*

Be well, mmkay?

[identity profile] puckishly.livejournal.com 2006-05-07 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
If that's wrong?


I don't want to be right. Ever.

There will either be a cartoon style chase across the bar or they will end up drinking buddies. XD

Welcome back!

Alanna will, of course, be invited to Slack's wedding, but considering Danii has access issues too, we can't quite tell you when that is, yet. :)

*snugz* those drabbles for the bach party? Are lovely! And, if you're ever on, and Svava has an entry- she and Alanna should talk, if its just about anything in general. I've missed you!

Oh, my dear.

It is so good to see you back.

Faith and Alanna should talk. Soon.

*HUGS* I hope things just get better--it's good about the voice recognition software. ;)

Yay! *hugs* Welcome back! I... don't really have anyone who knows any of yours, but that's okay! The thought counts, right?
