Many happy returns, dear Merry!! I hope you had a beautiful day over in England

First post here. Y'all live in some very interesting places that I'd love to visit someday. I was raised in Louisiana (nowhere interesting really) and have been in SC Pennsylvania for the last seven years. We aren't too terribly far from Gettysburg and live in a tiny mountain village that I love. I...

I guess I should have started here rather than the where we live thread, but I never do things in the right order, lol. Anyway, hi, I'm Holli or QC or Corbeau or whatever you want to call me, really. Louisiana native, transplanted to PA (and I do not miss LA summers though the winters here are too ...

Gosh, I love everyones pictures!! It seems this winter we've all been quite lucky with snow in the northern hemisphere.

Magda, I simply love the landscape of the moors!

Everyone lives in such interesting places all over the world! This is so fun to browse your photos! I live in New Hampshire, which is in the northeastern United States. Nothing too special to say about my town, but we have lots of nice parks, trails, and forests around us. 2016-11-01 16.08.28.jpg R...

Ahh! I LOVE this! Nothing is TOO dramatic for my liking. :rofl Margaret in jail. Now THERE’S a first (I think. I can’t recall any convict Margaret fics, haha.) Yes, I definitely like the idea of Mr. Hale finding out about their escapades to some extent. As far as Fred, I had planned on his name bei...

Very happy to have you Violet and Kaybell!!! :party And other new members, that I have missed since last time I checked this thread. It's so lovely to get new members, especially when they want to be active participants :loveeyes I am one of our non-native speakers :wave Mainly reader, but I have wr...

It is very beautiful, where you come from, Kaybell!! I love almond trees :heart I had a little almond tree once, but either it died or I must have planted it and left it in the garden where I lived at the time. We don't have the best climate for almond trees anyway. The trees near your house must sp...

Another angsty scenario could be this: They do figure out their feelings for each other and agree to get married (as they have already managed to have sex and the misunderstandings are sort of cleared away), with or without the involvement of Fred or Mr. Hale. Though I do like the idea of Mr. Hale c...

Merry, thank you so much for your card!! I think it came on Friday so I am shamefully late in thanking you. I managed to decipher the cursive after several attempts. The stamps are so nice and I love the Donkeys :heart I am really enjoying this whole Christmas cards exchange. I am not great at sendi...

I've had some inspiration to start working on an old one-shot lying on my harddrive and have started turning it into a Christmas story. So if I can maintain the flow, there might be another story to add to this collection. No promises yet, I might scrap the whole idea again tomorrow. But I felt a li...

For the history nuts among us, this is a pair of doco videos about the SS Great Britain, a steam passenger liner that first sailed in 1845 (life and times of the passengers and crew). Thank you for sharing this Daisy!! Those early steam ships were fascinating. The ones with paddle wheels must have ...

Exciting news!!!

I am very excited to be here! :) So exciting that you have joined the gang, Nicole! Your comments on AO3 are always so encouraging, detailed and lovely! :heart And it's so cool to hear that you also write stories!! Would love to check them out once the page is back up! :blush Just like Rox I was wo...

I love Merry's "SomeoneCalledMeSebastien" too - you both have this deeply personal piece of poetry behind your nicknames. :love Yes! my own username gives me chills sometimes :) remembering those days, those amazing days of deeply strange music and writing fanfic all through the night wit...

What a great thread! :) It's been so interesting reading about your different processes and how you first started writing – and, of course, being German and therefore another one of us writing in English as a foreign language, it is particularly interesting to see/hear/read how you're working aroun...

Can't wait for this!! I will listen live if I don't forget it, as I do most things. I am gonna make a reminder on my phone ASAP

Joining in the fun from London! … But not the London you think. I live in London, Canada! (Shout-out to my fellow Canadian, Mimosa!) London, Canada is a city about two hours from Canada’s largest city, Toronto. I work in Toronto, and travel there about once per month. I think you all would love thi...

Thank you guys for sharing your adventures with us! The pictures are just lovely! It is so special, when you meet with people that just instantly feel like family. And really sweet that you let us share in your experience. I love that you played music together too!!
