The mods have decided to take the month of February off from posting topics to the community. We have been working non-stop in one community or another posting new topics bi-weekly or monthly (depending on the community) for three years, and we're feeling a little burned out. This is our first hiatus, and it's to give us a chance to recharge our creativity. Old topics are always available to be used, and without activity checks being in place we figured this shouldn't put anyone out. Thank you, all of you, for your participation in this community. You guys are the reason we have been inspired to post new writing topics, and we're looking forward to coming back to you in March. See you then. |

Quotes:
I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair. I hate the way you drive my car. I hate it when you stare. I hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind. I hate you so much it makes me sick; it even makes me rhyme. I hate it, I hate the way you're always right. I hate it when you lie. I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry. I hate it that you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call. But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you. Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.
