I'm not taking a side. I'm just going to point out some things I noticed months ago and why I didn't read Stormy stuff in detail until now.

1. Every single one of you comma splice in exactly the same way. You put a comma where a new sentence should begin or should use a semicolon.

2. Every single one of you post 9-10 words on average in almost every sentence.

3. Every single one of you goof up when using an ellipsis.

4. Every single one of you hard return a paragraph to separate ideas.

5. Every single post is written in expository form, usually past tense.

6. No posts from any character contain any dialogged format, "like this."

7. All posts are written at about a high school graduate level of writing.

8. The characters were beyond dynamic. They were as if they were different people and their monikers all were possessive Stormy's something or other and changed so frequently it was as if they were fabricated.

9. Nobody writes with someone else as the focus of all their posts unless it is to be critical. I can't think of any other poster that does this. Not even to suck up to Susan I/S.

10. Your characters have been in more than one place at a time and the story changes. For example in one post they see you on a computer and in the next post they borrowed your phone.

11. Life is pain. Anyone who says otherwise is selling something.

I guess I have to respect an analytical mind, regardless of your fashion choices. ; )

I haven't heard someone refer to an ellipsis in many years.

You forgot one:

12. The word "stormy" is almost never capitalized.

(Edited to remove the ellipsis because of misuse.)

I don't capitalize my moniler and I am no troll. LOL. Now everyone will be on me.

LOL. I'm not a troll, just a humble goddess who doesn't want to draw attention to herself. My moniker means good goddess in Latin in case you didn't get the goddess reference

LOL Love it!

Somehow e.e. cummings was able to make even a name poetic with simple typography.

bona-dea's-sil , etc. Then it WOULD matter that NONE of the puppets capitalized the moniker

Yeah, I don't have a whole family posting here who supposedly live in different areas but have the same IP address, not to mention the same writing style down to the same grammar mistakes.

lol :)

Except today the username is now capitalized. I had also noticed it wasn't before now, because I have grammatically anal moments.

My board name is not capitalised because... HEY! WHY isn't my board name capitalized? And who put that *&^%ing 'z' there? >:oD

Because you have to press an extra key to capitalize-in my case two extra keys-and I am lazy.That is the real reason for me although being modest and humble sounds better.

And also a little intimidating that you'll be looking at my words with the same analytical yet alluring brainz.
I <3 geekery like that.

I smelled a rat early on. It was all just too much and didn't add up.

The pro Catholic agenda got old real fast! And then all the relatives and their posts -- didn't make sense.

One person, but all these different posts.

MiB did a great job of pointing out specifically how many of our styles differ greatly.

P.S. MiB, one of my beta readers is an excommunicated Seventh Day Adventist. She's loving the book and the parallels to her own wacky religion.

I thought you'd like that.

That's exactly what I thought! No *doctor* writes that poorly, i.e. stormy's husband.

Shannon ;o)

If you ever see someone sucking up to me would you please let me know? All I ever see is people bitching at me :)

You're fabulous! Wonderful! You do an outstanding job!

I used to be a board mod, and I *know* that it's all too frequently not happy-making work. In fact, "work" is a good way to describe it. So my non-existant hat is off to you!

You have my respect, esteem, admiration, and a whole lot of other SAT words. But raptor said it way better than I ever could. ;o)

To someone by the name of "Bona Dea" I would think trolling around came quite naturally!

Huh?

Stony is under arrest. And you, Man in Black, do you mean "you" or "your"?

Seriously dude, get a life.

Do you even know what this thread is about?
