[identity profile] liars-dance.livejournal.com posting in [community profile] rugbytackle
Just the briefest of notes to let you know that I am standing down as mod for the comm. Unfortunately, fallout following the recent yahoo group issue has reminded me that sometimes even this fandom is not a pleasant place to be, no matter how much I want it to be otherwise. Furthermore, as I have decided that I will no longer be posting any fics publicly, to remain as moderator of [livejournal.com profile] rugbytackle seems to be an increasingly hypocritical thing for me to do. I'll update the community info accordingly.

Be reassured that [livejournal.com profile] moldava will still be be here so you will not even notice I'm gone ;) Thanks for your support over the last eighteen months or so and long live the Vigbean love!

Soraidh...

Oh no, I can't imagine Rugbytackle without you - you are one of the VigBean writers who has got me into reading English VigBean! I feel a sharp regret that you're leaving this community, both as a mod and a writer, especially the latter one, would you mind telling us why you have to decide not to post any fics publicly? Is that mean you are going to stop writing VigBean things anymore?

Uh. Wow.

What?

Did I have something to do with this? I don't recall a single thing. If I did, sorry? I guess?

There's enough RL drama going on for me right now so I'm not going to ask what happened. &hearts you muchly and I think that if you think the decision is a right one for you, then it's a good decision to take. Will still be seeing you in your journal so squee for that =)

No idea what's gone on, but sorry it's made you feel the need to do this. You've given a lot of time and effort to both the comm and the VigBean fandom in general, not the least of which is the beautiful layouts you create! I'm glad you're still writing though. That would be the worst consequence, that you stopped altogether! *shudders at that thought... again!*

Hugs and strength to both you and Moldova.

So sorry to read about your decision. I hope the selfishness and thoughtlessness of a few won't put you off writing altogether. I've been enjoying your work so much and still have stories of yours to catch up with - they're so good that I ration them carefully, to make them last longer.

Best, from Miss Marshy

No clue what happened but if it was bad enough to get you to quite modding and quit posting your stories in public then I'm sorry for it. [hugz]

Would it be okay if I refriended your journal? E-mail me at tigerdragonfaery@hotmail.com if you need to speak with me. I am going to miss your fics terribley.

Thank you so much for everything you have done for [livejournal.com profile] rugbytackle this place won't be the same without you. Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] moldava for carrying on.

This is very sad to read, your name has always been associated with Rugbytackle.
I tend to go through life in a dream, so the yahoo group fallout slipped by without me noticing it. I’m sorry that it caused you grief and caused this action on your part. However it’s reassuring to read that you will still be writing Vig/Bean just not posting it outside of your own locked journal.

I hemmed and hawed about the yahoo group possibility of being 'closed' and in the end I saw it for what it was; a good idea. It held a special place in my heart simply because it was the first place I could find quality MorBean (Sorry - my own phrase); but as time progressed it slowed then, honestly, I thought it had 'died'. Either way, I want to thank you for making it a comfortable and welcoming home.

And I'm delighted you'll still post on your LJ - Love your work - very bad commenter... but *blushes* still love your work.

We will miss you very much as moderator!

That said, I think you have given this so much thought that I'm sure you are doing what you should. I'm looking forward to reading your future stories as much as re-reading the old!

And thanks to Moldava for continuing on as mod - *wolf whistles & applause*

I understand your decision and I would like to thank you for the work you have done :) As for the RPS and public domain thing: I am thinking about going the same route in the long run *hugs you*

I'm arriving late to this, but I just wanted to thank you for all the hard work you have put in as a moderator in the past. The issues around the Yahoo group have pretty much gone over my head, but I am sorry if you have been hurt by things, which have happened. You are one of my very favourite VigBean writers and I am so pleased that you will continue to write in the future.

I'm a bit late to this, but I just want to say that you've done such a wonderful job as moderator (for example, this is the best layout we've ever had). I'll miss seeing you around the comm, but I'm very glad you'll still be posting your fics in your LJ at least. You've written some of my most fave fics (Tuscan honey, anyone? ;) and I'll always be a huge fan. Thanks again so much for all the hard work you put into the comm. *massive hugs*

Um., not sure what the Yahoo Group thing was . . . but I respect your decision entirely, if it's right for you.

I'll miss you here, but hope to see your stories at your LJ in the future. I couldn't imagine life now without your writings!

*hugs and farewell from here*

It's been a long road, hasn't it? So many good fics, so many good friends.

VigBean will always occupy a special place in my heart, whether as incarnations of Aragorn and Boromir, or as Professor and graduate student, or as a nearly domesticated couple. And the name liars_dance will always be at the top of the VigBean list.

It seems a torch has been passed, with the closure of karelian's journal and now another of the seminal authors leaving the pitch. Should the voices of Sean and his Viggo ever re-emerge from the fogbank that is my brain, know that the next one's for you.

*hugs*

P.S. I will never forget the four bottles of barley water that materialised because of you!

Here I am, catching up with all the posts made whilst I was away!

I'm so sorry to hear that you've been getting grief over the yahoo group - I can sympathise somewhat having just gone through a totally horrible episode with a forum I've been involved with for ages where it became quite apparant that voicing concerns about the direction it was going - because I actually cared about the place - was totally the wrong thing to do and was only to result in some pretty vicious behaviour on the part of people I truly counted as my friends. Hence a major flist cut!

Chuffed that you're still going to be writing. There are a very few writers whose work I don't think I could survive without, and you're right up there with brigantine.

Big squishes to you and Niki!
