Your Creativity Meme

[erfan_starled]

I'm starting a meme.

If you leave your name to this post, I will
1. tell you something I enjoy about your creativity
2. tell you something I appreciate about your communications with me
3. tell you what is most original, unique or special about your lj presence

Edited 080927_1630 I think you have to then go and post it on your lj too...

Oooh, I'll borrow this one from you, if I may :)

[erfan_starled]

Hey hon :)
Of course, take it - that what it's for...
Your creativity 1) What leaps out at me when I ask this question is the way you let your imagination fly in your stories to show luscious characters in language to match - intellectually I know you known the Silm, but reading it's like diving into a world of huge contexts where I never know who will be doing what with whom but there's bound to be feelings, beauty and angst. And lots of scenery which I like, too.
Your commmunications 2) I like that your comments cover all sorts. I love the quotes, the books, and the introduction to Pandemonium which led me into my first SWG foray and with whom I met Moreth.
Original, unique or special about your lj presence 3) You have a friendly presence which I appreciate, and I think book talk and fic talk has been pretty inspiring. Some very happy memories stirred and some good new ideas.
Thanks honey :D

[lethe_lloyd]

Oh, how very kind. :)
I'm also glad I could introduce you to Pandemonium and Moreth, who are both fascinating people and wonderful writers.

I'm playing. ;)

[erfan_starled]

Excellent, Tal :)

Your creativity 1) Your icons!!! *loves* An energy in your story lines - something about characters being very alive.

Your communications 2) I tell you what I love about your entries is the fascinating, forthright and right on the nail entries about life and people that you occasionally put up. I like the to and fro about writing that happens at times *g* There's a feeling I get with you of friendly presence that you convey even when busy. The posts about chaps - don't think I'm meant to be amused but I do read them with fascination. Don't know what that says about me. *g*

Original, unique or special about your lj presence 3) I like the window into a life where intellect (yours) is well-used on various fronts, the way you tell successes, news of what you do, dealing with people.

The posts about chaps - don't think I'm meant to be amused but I do read them with fascination. Don't know what that says about me.
lol, it only says good things, like having a healthy sense of humour. ;)

Thankies for your kind words and for coming up with such a nice, positive meme. I had fun doing it in my own LJ.

*hugs*

Me please!

Binky, great :D

1) Creativity - your characters' lj voices in commenting has to be way up the top there. The vibrant affection and humour and strange imagination of your posts.

What I appreciate about our communications? 2) Well, now, don't take this the wrong way - but your brevity is a really good example to me :| The way you can be so friendly and short!!! I like the atmosphere the hugs and kisses put over too ;) I like the company when I'm posting fics - it's like I know you're there. A good feeling. And your openness - I've liked getting to know a bit about you and talking domestics!

Unique and special and original 3) This one overlaps too much with the other two. Sauron. Your use of reincarnation. Your awful elven children who are so scarily up to mischief so much of the time. Glorfindel's relationship with them. Cirdan's name (still makes me wince. Quite hilarious.) More than that you seem to really like people, a quality of joy in sharing, like the otters who are like that too.

[chaotic_binky]

Thank you Erfan - such lovely comments. I admit, I am a concise sort of person lol

Now let me comment on you!

1. Creativity - You wrote an original fic that had me hooked - Yrhes, that is quite a feat in a mainly LOTR fandom. I like how your characters have faults and are not the kind fluffy elves that one sees so often. I like the intelligence and suspense of your stories and the epic flavour of your tales.

2. I enjoyed talking to you on YIM but you do not seem to be on when I am - probably because I don't sign in until the early hours. I love the thought you put into your comments. They are always good to read, complimentary (we all need that lol) and are always relevant.

3. You wrote Yhres and that was very special. Your turn of phrase and believable characters made a world that was all yours. I have this secret wish that you are picked to write my next Slashy Santa fic as reading your work is like eating good food.

Hugs Binky xxxxxx

Thank you, Binky :) Yes it was nice to chat! I can do crit but am terribly wary of not knowing who wants it and it seems impertinent to offer it. Which is odd, since I value crit myself. Yrhes had the most unexpected reception and what I liked best about it was your drabble response!!!

[weepingnaiad]

Need something positive today.

Please do me? And I'll post it in my LJ, too.

*hugs*

[erfan_starled]

Yes, you need to post it too. Might make you feel good too if people sign up to ask

[weepingnaiad]

*blushes* You are so sweet. I doubt I'll be as good with describing folks as you are, but the offer's out there.

Thank you, hon. Really lovely of you!
*hugs*

I'm not sure it worked that well - perhaps because the info got put up on the host's lj not the signees. Right, here goes:

1. tell you something I enjoy about your creativity
Your huge cast of characters - I don't think you leave anyone out which makes your story arc Song of Sunset panoramic.
2. tell you something I appreciate about your communications with me
Your open friendliness and warmth.
3. tell you what is most original, unique or special about your lj presence
The complexity of your stories and how they interweave au with Canon and back again like an intricate dance which is a thing of beauty and fascination.

Heya ~ FYI, I've been pretty wordless these last four weeks, in case you find your comments short? They are sincere, however... :D
