My lj is broken - waaaah! I would reply to comments if I could...

I have lost all ability to reply to comments in my own lj - there's just no reply button anymore. I shall cross my fingers and hold my thumbs it comes back soon, because I wanted to reply to comments!

Also, my style has gone... gappy. I use an old theme, XColibur, because when they changed it I didn't like how much bigger and more like a child writing in crayon they made the menus - and I didn't want the drop-downs, I liked having everything in two neat horizontal lines in the menu bar. But now my menu bar is all gappy. I the links are still there, but they've gone invisible and seem to have been shrunk... it may be that my old-fangled days are catching up with me. If you see how that might work... *headdesk*

I'm going to have to work instead... with my fingers crossed and my thumbs held. Typing may be tricky. Also there is no incentive to comment to this post if I'm saying that I can't write back - well, if that ever was an incentive... it's all about my sparkling conversation, I know... *g*

Here, better have some lads in lieu of... well, anything really.Eeep - that was bracing! My image posting pop-up has gone all awry too, and was missing the post button. I took a blind leap of faith that I wasn't about to delete the internet, and pressed the spot that it looked like a button had once been...

Is anyone else having odd things, or is it just me...?

Hi Kiashi - thank you so much for dropping into my lj, and what an amazing comment to receive! It makes me happy whenever I hear that someone's enjoyed my stories, but the idea that they've helped someone through bad times as well is just... well, if nothing else did, then it would make every story I've ever written more worthwhile. People can be so awful to each other that I can barely believe it, but knowing that we can help each other through it, even when we don't know that we're helping each other, is such encouragement for life, I think. And a reminder that there are reasons for doing everything that we do with love and passion, even when they don't seem to be clear at all. So thank you for reminding me what writing, and writing Pros, is all about. *g*

I think we've communicated over at A03 a bit as well - I'm always a bit thrown by A03, because I think of it as a story archive rather than somewhere for discussions, but really there's no reason it can't be both when needed. And your comments there are always much appreciated, even when I haven't replied... *g* June/July are always my months of heavy work commitments, but things are lightening up again now (though I've also just arranged to move house at the end of August!) so I shall try to carry on posting my old stories to A03 now. And hopefully - hopefully get back to writing some new ones... *g*

I hope things are much better for you now, and that you're finding new friends in your world - it's never easy to do, but I shall have faith that they're out there for us all. Thank you...
