Work is a little slow during the summer, so I've been spending my time in a very productive way: writing things I meant to write a year ago and reading through posts that pile up on my to-read list during the school year.

I spent a very enjoyable morning reading through your folder (including rereading some posts I've read in the past). Thank you for sharing Lucy with us :) She is wonderfully layered and nuanced in a captivatingly real way.

Just a note that this folder occasionally deals with mature themes. The next post in "The Weather in New York," soon-to-be posted, is for mature eyes only.

Hey everyone!

As you may know, Lucy is currently in the slammer. If your character would like to visit her, please feel free to PM or IM me and I'd be happy to work something out.

If your character would like to send her mail, you can also PM or IM me, or you should also feel free to go ahead and post the letter directly in the thread In Dragon's Gate Gaol.

As always, thanks for reading and thanks for playing. I love writing Lucy's story, and none of it could have happened without the interaction with other characters and the support of other players!

As of the events in the most recent post in In Dragon's Gate Gaol, Lucy is no longer being allowed visitors, through traditional means, at Dragon's Gate gaol. That means today, Tuesday, a traditional visiting day, anyone who came to see her was turned away.

The guards would not say why she was being denied visitors. If pressed, they would not even confirm whether she was still being held in Dragon's Gate gaol.

Lovely :)

I know that for much of my life I have been a disappointment to you and dad. But I never realized what a disappointment I was to myself. I am not a disappointment anymore. I am living a life that I never knew I could live, a life I never imagined. And it is a beautiful life. It is a difficult life and it is a beautiful life and I won't ever give it up.

Thank you so much. Looking forward to reading about the opening of Lucy's gallery and the whereabouts of her ghost.

Lucy Mitford

Date: 2015-07-31 20:29 EST
Hey everyone!

Just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated in Lucy?s gallery opening event! While I had designs on having Lucy explicitly interact with everyone who attended, it quickly became clear that wouldn?t be possible. I was really touched and surprised by how many people posted their character?s attendance. I read and enjoyed each and every post, and I hope you had fun writing about it and imagining your character in the setting.

Thank you so very much!

The thread remains open and if you haven?t had a chance to post and would still like to do so, you are more than welcome, whenever the spirit moves you.

In the near future, I?ll be posting an open thread for the general goings-on at the gallery. If you have any interest or ideas involving the gallery you should feel free to drop me a PM. I am always open to collaboration!

Blep

Date: 2015-07-31 23:46 EST
Aw dude, the gallery opening was awesome! I'm really stoked that you're making some very imaginative examples for how Rhy'Din's artistic community operates, and it's an honor to create alongside you!

Nope

I totally agree with Zofie-mun. Thanks to you for being awesome and allowing us to let our misfits get a tiny taste of Lucy's world!

Just a quick note that the most recent post in The Ghost and Miss Mitford is a response to the playable Come One, Come All from the fantastic folks over at Crossroads Carnivale, and is cross-posted from there.

It likely would have taken place maybe a month ago, so we're being a bit creative with the time. Forgive me for writing slowly.

Special thanks to Dair's player who helped me with the writing of this one, and again to the players at Crossroads Carnivale for giving me such a great setting to work with.

Jack Scot

Just the other day, I found myself wondering where Reginald had gotten to. Wonderful, wonderful and more wonderful.

Josette Wheeler

I adore Lucy! It was well worth the wait! (For Reginald as well!)

Blep

Date: 2016-01-23 16:33 EST
So, we're snowed in, here, and I saw that Lucy's Ghost had posted. A biiig heap of stir-crazy died on the vine seeing that. True to form, the post gets into all those dark, sticky places and Jeepers Creepers you have me so worried for Lucy's well-being. Well done!

Lucy Mitford

Date: 2016-01-24 17:56 EST
Aw, thank you! So glad that little post helped entertain you!

I'll try to pick up the pace on Lucy's story, but no guarantees. I'm a terribly slow writer these days. Thank you for sticking with it.

Ducii

Thank you so much, Duci!

And with this most recent post, I wanted to thank everyone who took the time to talk to me or respond to my status message with some help with my writer's block. It helped so much to have people listen to my frustration, and I tried everything you guys suggested. I still feel a little stuck, but it helps to know I'm in a supportive community of writers. Thank you!

Reading it makes me ache in the most beautiful of ways and I look forward to the next issue faithfully. Thank you so much for writing and sharing this story, it's very inspiring like a great song: it just moves you.

Lucy Mitford

Thank you so much Ketch and Charlie for your kind words. And Thorn and Jewell, I'm thrilled the story is touching you too!

I usually don't expressly point out when bits of my posts are written by other players cause I think it's usually pretty obvious, but I still want to thank the writers of Fin Mackenzie and Jack Scot for writing with me and helping my story evolve. I feel so fortunate to get to write with them and so many of the writers here on this site. I think we're a pretty lucky group of writers, the entire lot of us.

Thank you so much!

And a special thank you to Fin and Ketch for writing with me. If it was not obvious, the most recent post in The Ghost and Miss Mitford was adapted from live play with those two great writers, and I used (and brutally corrupted) much of their great writing to squeeze it into the tiny box of that post. Thank you both so much for writing with me!

And thank you to everyone who is still reading!

Duci thank you so much, especially for reading back into the archive! <3

And Jewell, I too very much love Jack.

Thank you to my many generous writing partners in the most recent scene---FinMack, Benjamin Piers, and Jack Scot. I so appreciate your generosity with your time and creativity. I think it goes without saying, but it bears repeating, the most recent post in the Ghost and Miss Mitford includes the writing and words of all three of them. It is also a Part 1, and Part 2 will be coming shortly with more of their great writing!

Thanks to everyone who is still reading along at my glacial pace :)

Josette Wheeler

This was so moving, the sense of loss was palpable and my heart just ached for both of them. Even if it is for the best, it's hard to watch these two let each other go. Lucy and Reg have such a complex history and their beautifully written and layered connection made this pairing one of my favorites to read in so many ways.

Lucy Mitford

Date: 2016-09-15 18:02 EST
I know I repeat myself a lot, but I really appreciate you guys and everyone who has been reading this!

And thank you to Mesteno and Josette for your kind words. I honestly don't know what to say except thank you!

On an entirely other note, I have distributed icons for anyone who attended Lucy's Endless Summer get party. Please let me know if I missed you!

You are a hell of a writer, Lucy, and the divorce of their connection was so very well described; it radiates with intense hurt. The way you crafted their bond and then dissolved it... Oh man.

Well done. <3

Thank you both! I love the confessions that Senka has received so far. She wants to treat them with such care and consideration that I hope I was able to do her vision justice.

The playable is still open so if anyone has been thinking about submitting one (or another) please do so!

With my most recent post in the Potluck thread, I think I am all caught up. Every post, including gifts, should have been responded to. Please let me know if I missed your character!

Also, the thread remains open, and will remain open, for anyone who still hasn't had a chance to catch up after the holidays. I'm not precious about these things, please jump in and I promise to respond. There was no guest list for this event, just people who know Lucy and whose number she might have in her phone or who might have been reached by word of mouth.

Thank you everyone for making it a fun and challenging little board event. I so enjoy reading and responding to your character's posts. It was a fun thing to do during the quiet parts of the holidays. And I feel like these little interactions, even just on the boards, make Lucy's world that much richer and real.

Thank you again!

Some of you may know that I can be a little obsessive about some pretty strange things. One of those things is dead photo links in my threads. So now that I have my back-up files from polyvore, I've begun systematically replacing the dead links with new ones.

I have already completed all of the polyvore links in my own folder.

I've found a method that's relatively simple and is working well for me. If anyone is interested in finding out what approach I'm taking or is looking for some tips, please feel free to hit me up. I've already figured out some shortcuts that will help you sort and find what you need.

Cross-posting this from DM:

As an interesting side note---I happened to be reading a business article today about another long-time website that was recently sold and announced its imminent shutdown, StyleMePretty. Apparently both Polyvore and StyleMePretty were owned by Oath, Inc. a digital media company. You know what else it owned? Oath owned AIM.

And you know what else it still owns? Tumblr.

Jack Scot has long been an important part of Lucy's story. Although we had not written much over the last couple years as Jack's writer focused on other things, I will always be grateful for the short but precious time I had with her.

She was talented and original. Generous with her time, her creativity, and her writing. I am so saddened by her loss---for her family and friends, and everyone here who had the opportunity to be creative with her and get to know her on any level.

I can think of no better way to honor her than to share one of the last scenes we wrote together. Crow and Ribbons. It's a bit long but I did not want to edit it for obvious reasons. The ending is painful and lovely.

Lucy still has one pale pink ribbon of Jack's magic. Someday, I will find a way to finish this last tendril of Jack's storytelling. But for now, as a writer, I treasure it.

Lirenel

Date: 2018-12-22 16:04 EST
Thank you for posting that. I love seeing these glimpses of Jack in action.

These are the things that help the pain of missing her to fade behind the sweetness of memories.

In time...
