Venus crawls out from under her rock

[Reply #760 on:]

Great! Nice update Venus. Can't wait to read the next part.

Edit: Oh no... Page 20!!!

[Reply #761 on:]

I like this story.  It doesn't need fixing at all. 

[Reply #762 on:]

Quality + Length = Venus

Catching up on updates was so very much fun 

[Reply #763 on:]

Please! Stop drawing it out! I can't see where you're headed! And I get full of confusion, anticipation and suspense when I don't see where things are headed! Those are feelings I haven't felt in a long, long time!

That's a good thing Xanfor.
@ Venus: I surely hope that you have time to add a new part soon. I cannot wait to see how it ends.

Where the freakin hell have you been man?

[Reply #767 on:]

I fell into the dangerous world of reality. I only just survived, you know.

Also, been writing that fanfic you requested of me. I've completely scrapped what's already posted here and started all over again. I couldn't figure out where I was going, see? And unlike Venus's, my writing stinks when I can't see where it's going.

Anyway, I'm hoping to have it done completely by, say... Early March?

(If you have any new character info, lay it on me, girl!  )

pleaseeeeee update.. its such a great story!

[Reply #769 on:]

For the people wanting updates from Venus:

She's a very busy woman.  The last I heard, she was holding down three jobs.

Last week, the ceiling of her bathroom of her apartment crashed onto the floor, also causing extensive water damage to the rest of her apartment.

Plus she has the demanding job of being a cat-mommy to two high-maintainence cats.

I have the feeling that Venus has higher priorities in life at this point.

But her fic is good.  Damned good.

Wow... I had no idea...

Wow.. three jobs?! I have one.. then again I spend 12½ hours a day away from home. I could not cope with another job.. let alone take care of two cats! I'm much impressed!

(Joins Xanfor's Salutes.)

And yes, her fan fic is damn good!

*hops onto the bandwagon saluting*

We'll still be here waiting for more!  Take your time.  (Just don't leave it permanently abandoned, please.  )

That weekend I found the story was one of the best I've had in a long time, though.  Up so late, just reading and reading and reading.  Oh man, I loved it.  Still love it.

[Reply #773 on:]

*salutes because everyone else was doing it* 

[Reply #774 on:]

I'm happy to say that i'm back down to 2 jobs. The third one was just seasonal work for a calender store. Bathroom roof is now fixed, yay! And all the water damage was confined to the bathroom itself, not counting random water spots on the ceilings of other rooms. But thanks for all the support! I promise this story will get finished. I won't leave you hanging forever. When i'm ready with the next update i'll start a new thread since this one doesn't have that much longer to last.

[Reply #775 on:]

I'm sorry that I overinflated the damage, but glad it wasn't as bad as I thought.

You gotta admit, the pics that you placed in off-topic showed a lot of damage.

Take care and we all look forward towards your next installment.

Any idea of what you plan to name your next thread?

[Reply #776 on:]

Am I too late too salute? *salutes anyway*
Yay to Venus's fixed bathroom and well done for being so talented, I mean two jobs and being an author is amazing. I suggest a party to celebrate.

[Reply #777 on:]

I'm planning to make my thread last my whole PEELing life.

What does that have to do with Venus's greatness and amazing talent as a writer?

I'd just like to re-state that Venus's story is the best and I hope to one day reach that sort of standard, because Venus is like my hero on PEEL.

I'm embarressing myself but hey

Wicked story, I look forward to the update.

Something absolutely random.  "Venus has a place to pee again!", maybe? :grin:

Glad you're back down to just the two jobs.  Man, how stressful has that got to be?  I mean, not even the three total, but just the two?  Wow.  (Though I guess if you're used to it, it's not so bad, but still...)

[Reply #780 on:]

oh my gosh! I finally finished this! I had commented on it awhile back, but honestly don't remember reading it before this.. or commenting. But antyways, this is the best fan fic I've ever read! It was so good! They really should make this into a movie. It'd be intresting.    I'm really looking forward to an update. I've been reading a few chapters everyday day for the past week. Breaking it down into sections so I wouldn't finish it too quick, but the sad thing is, now I can't read anymore until you update. Noooooo!

How's about 'Pedro La Loco's Worst Nightmare'?

That's what I was going to name my second thread eventually, but I think you deserve it more. 

[Reply #782 on:]

Pedro, ah now that brings back some memories. Whatever happened to old Pedro? Maybe he gave up and joined the side of right, the Shippin' Side.

[Reply #783 on:]

Venus, good luck on your jobs, house to-do's and your fanfic. Your new thread should be named "Venus crawls out from under her second [or other] rock"

[Reply #784 on:]

Heehee! I should do that. Maybe something like 'Venus gets crushed under her rock'

[Reply #785 on:]

'Venus on the Half-Rock'? 

[Reply #786 on:]

Xanfor, not in a million years. When you do start your new thread, I think you should link to the other parts of the story. I'm sure you've already thought of this though.

Speaking of which, it's time I made myself useful around here, wot wot?

Good. You'll have to repost this in her new thread if she doesn't.  Your job never ends, does it Xanfor?

[Reply #789 on:]

I have absolutely no idea how to link to other posts so i will definately need xanfor to repost that list in my next thread.

EDIT:

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEE!!! I won the Peelie! Why didn't anyone tell me! Thankfully i already have a speech prepared:

This is a huge honor and i'd just like to thank all of the little people i had to step on to get to where i am today. If it weren't for you, my peons, i wouldn't have bothered to keep working on this monstrosity for over three years. Hopefully i'll have this thing done before i hit the 4 year anniversary. Now go forth and stroke my ego. Come oooon i said doooo it!

[Reply #790 on:]

You deserve this award, our dear Venus.  For the toil, the suffering, the dates that you cancelled when inspiration hit you and you spent the night writing and rewriting.

In addition to your PEELie, I think that the winner gets a Big Mac meal with a large Coke.

That's all the ass-kissing you'll get from me.

BTW, seriously, you deserve winning.

[Reply #791 on:]

*hands over shiny awards* Here's your collection of many awards...and here's your cookie with chocolate chips. Congrats on the PEELie Venus. Glad to know you stepped on Xanfor along with me... Ok, maybe not, but whatever. You deserved it. Shiny has to suck it up now. I'm sure that since Shiny's not visited the Shippy thread it a while, there's some denial there.

[Reply #792 on:]

Congrats on usurping me Venus!  Where I had gotten lazy and hardly updated last year, you continued to update at a pseudo-regular pace.  Also, where I gave little to no ship, you harbored more ship than the standard... well... harbor.  Cheers, and keep writing.

[Reply #793 on:]

Yay Venus!



Congratulations; you deserve it. 

[Reply #794 on:]

HA! In your face everyone who didn't win a Peelie, and that includes you Fazeshift!

[Reply #795 on:]

Congratulations Venus, I'm glad you won the award because in my opinion, you deserved it. The best fanfictionist was definatly yours from the beginning, and I hope that one day I can write well enough to compete at your level.

[Reply #796 on:]

See? When I handed the award over, I borrowed it from Officer 1BDI over there. I wonder if it can go to 21 pages?

[Reply #797 on:]

Let's see if we can make page 21.

As for Venus and her PEELie, I won 'Sassiest PEELer'.

But I bow my head in reverence to Venus - she worked hard to deserve hers. 

[Reply #798 on:]

Yes... Let's see.....

[Reply #799 on:]

One... more... try...
