A small observance that I have made, in albeit the limited time I've been posting to moderated archives, is this: ya'll aren't worshipped nearly enough for being the Goddesses that you are.
When I get a chapter back from AnnieTalbot, or Ferporcel, or any of the other Goddesses at OWL, my emails to them of 'Thank you, I appreciate it,' it seems a like paltry thanks for what they do.
When we do our Sat Night Drabbling, (which incidentally has become a ritual for me, and the HIGHLIGHT of my week) and ya'll work overtime into the wee hours, and some nights go way to overlong for my timezone; I am amazed. And you still have time to nudge me about my god-aweful commas. Nevermind the fact that you actually write me about why the changes that you're making are necessary, rather than saying 'You idiot, you should know what an independent clause is.' And if I have a question, you come back with a full citation and a learning experience, for which I am eternally grateful, and a better writing because of it.
You don't get the flowers laid at your feet that you deserve. And if there's anything I can do to make you feel more loved and appreciated I'll gladly do it. Because I have just a tiny inkling about what goes on behind the scenes to make TPP and other moderated archives tick. And honey, it seems like a helluva lot of work.
And if I ever, ever, give you a problem or hassle - smack me. Because I never intend to be 'that guy,' but if it happens. Lemme know. Life is a learning experience, and I can take constructive criticism. You, however, should NEVER have any of your hardwork thrown back in your face. Nobody should ever give you attitude. Ever.
