TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 I think that works. Is that the Facebook message? Are you officially starting the fund now? That's the campaign description. And yeah….I had a few minutes, so I thought I'd get it up and running before I could talk myself out of it tomorrow. 2

Because if so I'll start digging into the family bank account and see how much we can spare. 3

I haven't seen anything in the site rules prohibiting it….though I'm still nervous. 2

You could always PM an admin to see if it's permissible. And in the meantime, you could PM or email the link to me and other interested parties so we'll know where to find it. 1

Anyone know the best one to pose this question to?
+Slowswift Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 Which one should I ask? Anyone know the best one to pose this question to? My money's on Chaos. 2
Kobold King he/him Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) Yeah, probably Chaos. (Though if you email it to me now, I can bookmark it while it's still fresh in my mind to do so. ) Edited July 31, 2015 by Kobold King 1
Haelbarde he/him Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 As far as I can tell, there's likely no problem putting it here: Coming from the site rules, the 11th paragraph: Don't advertise your stuff (unless of course it's in General Discussion). Post your stuff in the correct forums, and stay on-topic. Common sense stuff, here. And General Discussion is where we are. But it doesn't hurt to check with an admin/Chaos. Also, if you're concerned about the result of posting a link on Facebook, maybe wait and see how it goes without doing so? If it's a publicly listed campaign, and you've shared the link here, maybe enough people will chip in so you won't need to. 1

And I'm going to wait before putting it on Facebook. I don't think I'll be yelled at, but....

I am going to tell you a story about a guy you may have heard of: So Jesus walks into a house where the woman of the house anoints him with really expensive oil and washes his feet, washing feet being in vogue during biblical times. Judas Iscariot, recognizing that the oil was expensive, snarks, "Whiiiiiine, the money that was used to buy that oil would have been better used to help the poooooor." To which our Lord and Saviour replies, "Shut your face, Judas, you traitorous punk" The moral of the story is to not feel bad. It's totes in the Bible. Edited August 1, 2015 by Orlion 5

Orlion Blight he/him Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 And that is why I keep the His Holiness Orlion Translation a close secret... at least until I can secure merchandising rights! 2
Delightful Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 Twi, I know people aren't always so nice as I'd like to believe but - if someone thinks your pug fund is a waste of money, isn't it more likely they would just ignore it rather than sending you hate mail? And just adjust the security settings of that post so your parents can't see it. *hug*
Voidus Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 Are you taking a poll for naming suggestions? Because I have many many names to suggest.No, they aren't just Epics from my list that no one has used yet! How dare you accuse me of such a thing?
Haelbarde he/him Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) In case I forget, if you were taking naming suggestions, my suggestion would be base the name around an Aon from Elantris. List of potentially relevant Aons: Ala - Beauty/Handsomeness Ena - Kindness Eshe - Gift/Endowment iad - Trust/Reliable ial - Helpfulness, Aid Mea - Thoughtfulness, Caringness Omi - Love A name containing 'eshe' or 'ial' would make reference to the origins of the pug, while the others would reference qualities of the pug.

Delightful Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 I need a punching bag. Someone influential but not very present in my life has a low opinion of me, partly by my own fault and partly because this person sees the worst in the individual circumstances when we've actually interacted, and then extrapolates that as a general rule. Ie, sees me sniffling. *Delightful is always sick and she isn't capable of finding a dr or taking medication* And now every time I turn around it seems like this person is making up negative crap about me - out of nowhere -and then believing it. And I just REALLY need a punching bag and a good cry. How do you deal with people like that???? 5
Quiver he/him Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 This will be inchoerent. Sorry. Been having a panic attack all morning, so coherency kind of dropped down the list of storming priorities. So, I'm pretty sure by now everyone knows about my OCD, and obsession with cleaning things and concern's that things-that-touch-things-that-were-places are dirty and to be avoided. Of course, when I say everyone, I mean everyone who isn't a member of my imediate family because really, why would they know or care about something like that? So, my family. Last night, one of them happened to stand on something that I am very uncomfortable with, in terms of "cleanliness". In their bare feet. They then proceeded to walk across all the floors in the house. This was veyr late at night, too late for me to be able to wash the floors out -or more accurately, get someone else to do so, since again, I can't touch the mop because it's dirty- which meant that then I had to walk over the floors. And, of course, since this is late at night I was ready for bed, so I was walking over the dirty floors in my bare feet, and then had to get into my bed, and... Basically, I've spent this morning flipping out because I want to have my bed burnt, all the floors in the house washed, and want to go to the shower and start scrubbing until my skin starts coming off. Sorry. I'm not really... expecting any replies to that or anything. But I'd rather freak out online than keep freaking out "inside", especially since I've been spending the day thinking about it, and getting... really frustrated. Sorry... 7

By the sounds of it, it's something you only have to put up irregularly, and it's not impossible that eventually that'll fade to never. However, that doesn't help with dealing with it in the moment.
