"Only then, regale my eyes" - A New Challenge for Newsvine's Creative Community

From ashes

should fly a Phoenix:

that rare bird better for the burn.

No, I want fame, fortune, fabulousness!!!!

(Or is that too much to ask for? =)

Now js, I ask you, what was your reason for asking?

It was a legitimate question and I am at a loss, here.

And, since the issue has been raised by jsbach, before I post any graphics, if there are any legitimate objections, I will close the article and forget it.

All I did was ask a question and because of that question, you are threatening to delete your article? Why? Why would you do that to those who wish to participate? This makes no sense!

I thought this was started by you to have fun with people and to enjoy something different other than the heated discussions of late involving politics. I saw the other article on the photographs and I was having the best of time watching everyone come up with a caption to match the photo.

What I can do is to give you my word that I will not come back or address you again. Would that help? I will be more than happy to do that. But, whatever you do, please don't take this away from others.

js (susan)

A Mac - you are doing it again.

There is no negative connotation to JS' question, she simply asked what this was about as she did not understand; all it deserved was a straightforward answer, like

"It doesn't lead to anywhere other than the author's desktop if he/she so chooses as per my article. I own the images - the graphic, created for this article only, will not be used again except (possibly) by the author of the text."

You had originally said "my objective in this challenge is to "push" authors into "pushing themselves" by offering a "prize" of sorts and bragging rights" - but this isn't clear

This is not the first time - why do you assume that the person (jsbach) is being negative? There is no negativity in her comment. Your reaction is uncalled for

I'm going to wait for a response from jsbach - I have a definite reason for doing so.

What reason could you possibly have to hurt someone this way?

To Lucy and to the others here, I am truly sorry I caused this disruption.

Mac, You have my word I will leave. Don't delete your article because of me.

Hey, again I know I am late to this discussion...

I don't know if this is part of the question... but this is a good opportunity for practice...

but my question is ... if someone like Lkessler, wanted to create a portfolio to show in getting a job or something, so long as all parties involved are given due credit (as you have on your cover art) would that be ok????

My porfolio is so old... I will have to dust... er off.

-On hold, ok I'll wait and check back soon.

Mac, this could be an entry:

There's always a troll under a bridge over troubled waters!

kidding

But, if a diversion/distraction/troll is afoot, I'll possibly just stand pat and see if "group" pressure can flush out a culprit. That's where I am right now.

Dude, good catch. I have run into this particular poster on some other threads in the past and I must say I did think like you just did.

Notice how you asked for a reason and all you got was that it is a legitimate question but yet no reason. Evasive, ain't it.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!! *Squeals with utter delight!*

A. Mac,

I absolutely LOVE it! The image is so perfect IMHO. I am a hopeless romantic as well as a sappy softee so it just fits!

Thanks for your time and inspiration.

See you later AMac - fun and interesting challenges.

very good,I like it as well, congratulations ProudAmerican.

Thanks for all the challenges, the ones I tried were fun, and I enjoyed reading the contributions of the other ones. Hope your business that you will be taking care of goes well and fast.

Dude,

Don't let them get to ya. As it stands, everyone knows that your original question: "why did she ask that question?" still remains unanswered by her or by her apologists like eriq. If there is no reason for someone asking a question, the only conclusion is that they are trolling or they got a million monkeys on keyboards to do that for them.

I totally get your point about she following you from one thread to here. That's what trolls are good at. They just want to antagonize you. It's a good thing you recognized it and called it right away and nipped it in the bud.

Excuse me if I am out of place, but as the conversation is on a public message board and has caused confusion well , the innuendo of copyright and publishment seem to be the question .

Well people if you post it on a message board, it is auto timed ,dated with ur name , it becomes open to the public, don't write anything you done want others to use. Once it is on line ,hey it is viewed by the world. If you write for profit, make sure only your publicist sees your works until published and stay off message boards.

Dont be so vain as to think everything you write has a monetary value, the value is in the worth of self, one has put into it. Me - I have copyrights and published works nothing big, poetry is a hard item to sell, BUT - I have donated my works to scholarships for the past 35 years, if one can profit from something I have felt the joy in sharring with them than bless them, it blesses me .

Yes it can get legal and scare the tar outta you, but the fact is in the inital Topic, AMac ,you expressed your goal of this being a project for those whom wanted to do it for the fun of writing, A Grand Plan, I do hope you stay encouraged .smiles StarSmilesUSA
