THE A.S.C./A.S.C.E. Drinking Game
Contributed by Ruth G
* Please do not archive this!
In keeping with the great tradition of 'Star Trek' drinking games I
decided that those of us on the creative writing news groups need our
own!
Disclaimers: Excessive use of alcohol is a BAD thing. It may result in
impaired judgment, tragic circumstances and frequent urination It is
recommended that non-intoxicating beverages replace alcohol whenever
possible in the "a.s.c./a.s.c.e. Drinking Game". And remember, fans
don't let fans write drunk.

A serious comment sparked by a hilariously funny post! (Thanks, Ruth!)
When I read that one, my immediate thought was, "Do I resemble that
remark?"
I hope not. I try not to. But truth be told, I probably do. I know
there are times when I have too much going on (job, spouse, volunteer
work, and a really hot fan-fic just BEGGING me to finish it), that I
may let my mail slide. I keep meaning to get back to it, and I usually
do -- but I'm sure I've missed a few.
So I just want to take this opportunity to offer my apologies to anyone
who has ever taken the time to send me feedback and not received a
response. It was a slight truly unintended -- I appreciated every word
(even the "I liked it, but ..." ones! :-D).
Sincerely,
Carolyn R. Fulton

(snort, chuckle) Aww, shucks, Ruth--at least give us credit. Macedon
needed me to kosh Chak over the head anyway, and all I did was refuse to
waste a perfectly good near-death experience when we'd already done all
the important ground work--and when Janeway would have looked a right fool
*not* getting a bit wired over the event. <BG> And unlike some writers
who shall remain nameless, we only "near-deathed" the poor SOB *once,* in
one story. Near-death, like salt, is a seasoning, dammit.

Errk. Same. "Real Life" has been giving me a run for my money right now,
and I'm behind on my "thank you's." Among other things. My appologies
too, if you've written and I haven't gotten back yet. I *do* have the
letters on file, and I do intend to respond to them. (Carolyn, thanks for
the sensible approach to appologizing!)

Okay, I'm behind the times as usual but:
WHEN YOU...
...are a newbie to the Net, and you go looking for fanfic, and what you
find is a place where all varieties of stories are welcome, the talent is
thick on the keyboard, the sex is hot, the angst is good, and everyone is
as wonderful and warm as you all are...
...I suggest a trip to the cellar for that case of reserve. You've got a
lot of reading ahead of you! (Uh-oh, I think I'm on my last bottle...)
WHEN YOU...
...log on to a.s.c. and find a story by jess that you weren't
expecting--it's definitely time for some spiked coffee with something
sweet on top.
WHEN YOU...
...struggle with your word processor to create something coherent, and it
becomes a morass of uncertainty, and a lovely soul named Macedon comes
along to donate hours of his free (ha!) time to helping you fix it, BUY
THAT MAN A DRINK! Something good.
WHEN YOU...
...struggle with your word processor to create something coherent, and it
becomes a morass of uncertainty, and your wonderful, sweet friends let you
call them and moan about it and they tell you it doesn't suck and to get
over it, mix them a really fine margarita with a chaser of cointreau and
drink up together. (You know who you are, girls.)

LOL! Well, I rarely have NOTHING to say....
But I'm really not very good at the parody or skit form. Never have
been. I enjoy them, just can't write them. <G>

Umm, I think I need to chime in on this one, too, folks. I *know* that I
space out on email sometimes. Reality is so damned *busy*, most of the time.
But if in fact I have failed to acknowledge any of my respondents, *please*
accept this unworthy one's most humble and abject apologies. It is very much
appreciated when anyone takes the time to actually write me -- I will simply
have to do better in the future.
Phew. Said it... Now let's see, where'd I leave that hunny-pot? ;-)
