Pissed Off Cynics 2: Cynic Harder!

Since our old thread got locked I figured I'd put up a new one. But really I think we should just figure out a way to organize outside of the nanowrimo boards, in some glorious land of waving green electrons where we can bitch about whatever we want, however we want, and where the Edit buttons are plentiful. Maybe a facebook group or something? I like Google+ better, but I don't know that it has the capability for such a thing.

Suggestions? Further rants?

I was looking through Facebook earlier to see if anyone had already made one. I'd be up for it, but when it comes to message board pals I've found that a lot of people don't want to do the Facebook groups because they prefer to remain relatively anonymous. Still, I'd be down.

If they'd even let me in. I did a cheer for Shem on one of the other threads, so there's a chance I'm blacklisted.

I totally agree. Wholeheartedly. The thread was a place I came to for laughs, fine sarcasm (it's like a nice merlot, but better), and the safety in realizing that I was not alone in the things that frustrated me. Whenever I was stuck in my novel, a nice jaunt to the PoC's thread was just what I needed to find the snarky attitude I needed to keep me going.

So, snarky attituders unite! Let's ditch the drama and get back to what is important: quality writing.

I am by no means a programmer or anything like that, but I did find some free software on the web to create our own forum. In the meantime, I would be amenable to a FB page. I don't have any experience with G+, but would be willing to learn if it's what everyone else would pick.

I'm down with G+ or maybe a Yahoo! Group? A livejournal comm? Something? Bueller?

If we all made the same circle on Google+ we could just post to it. The cynic's thread was the reason I kept using this forum so much during the writing. But I don't need to deal with the championing of bad logic and emotionally-driven perceptions.

My Google+ name is Lily Alice.

Or someone could just make a Google+ page and only people from here could circle and use it. I'm on my kindle fire so I can't easily do it.

I'll give it a shot. I haven't played with G+ much, but it'll give me something to do for now.

Google+ has a pretty cool groups option. Do you think we should do something like that? If we do, I need your email addresses. If you send me it in NaNo, I can invite you to the group.

FYI It is REALLY easy to create a group in G+. I made it restricted access only, so you have to let me know if you want in. I'll be checking my messages here at least twice a day

I'd do G+ but being a pissed off cynic with a nosy Mom and tons of past, present, and future students on FB, I won't be joining you over there. Ok so maybe I'm inconsistent. You got a problem with that? I do agree that it would be great to have a way we can continue to communicate, 'cause this was fun.

Plus, I'm counting on zenken to help me keep up my exercise regime.

Because I am really (really) bored, I also created a FB page... LOL I might just need a life...

I don't do Facebook. But no one on Google+ can see anything you do unless you allow them to, anyway, by having them in a circle that you're posting go.

Posting TO. Anyway, yay. Thanks Darbrashelle.

Okay, I feel like an idiot, but how do I post in the google+ group? There doesn't appear to be a button for making a new topic or replying to an existing one anywhere.

Bwahaha. I noticed that too. And then I noticed that I had navigated outside Google+ and was in the dreaded Google territory. So, I will soon be deleting that and have made a new group in google+ for reals this time. If you ask, I'll mail you my name so you can add yourself to my circle. I'm so full of FAIL today I all I can do is laugh at me.

Alright if you google+ this is it: https://plus.google.com/110123525617930153819

Hey you guys, one who knows of which you speak through another experience and just wanted to pop in, empathize and say- well, what I would like to say is perhaps best left unsaid. How about this instead - fuck em if they can't take a joke.

Socialgo is a good social network making deal where you can use your nano nicknames and keep going. There's a free version that's awesome. If someone makes one, post here.

Somehow I expected Bruce Willis, Alan Rickman and Jeremy Irons to show up in here.

Ever go back and watch Die Hard? It's still pretty good, in my opinion. Big hair, pagers, fire hoses and all.
