I did enjoy the brainstorming sessions when we first started. I've lost a lot of the enthusiasm, though, because I'm finding it more difficult to come up with ideas. You probably noticed that I can barely come up with original ideas anymore. And sometimes when I do, I'm always afraid I'll be shot down in flames. The time change didn't bother me, but I don't know if it bothered others that my dinner time came less than an hour after the session started. And let's face it, I live in a neighborhood of almost all elderly people, and I've had to deal with several emergencies in the past couple of months. My next door neighbor to my left has had a stroke, another neighbor's daughter has cancer and has had paramedics come over at least twice, two have recently passed away, and so forth.

The biggest issue I think in this mess is the one thing every one of us has to deal with: REAL LIFE. Lauren's very busy with the greenhouse right now and is recovering from surgery, Lynn's got college life, and our friends across the pond are having to do this way late into the night on their end. I want to be able to continue this, I really do. I just hope we can work something out on this. ]]> TracyFan4Ever 2010-05-22T01:18:39-00:00 http://irtnp.meianou.com/irtnpforum/index.php?t=rview&goto=2997&th=162#msg_2997 I used to really enjoy the brainstormings. My reasons for no longer going have been discussed with the mods, but before that, I found it a beneficial time for all of us to get together and let loose a little bit. We were (most of the time) able to iron out wrinkles, hunt down plot bunnies, in general, get things done! But lately it seems like only a few people show up and actually participate. These meetings can only work if EVERYONE participates. Lurking in the background doesn't help. And yes, I'm now guilty of that myself.

One reason I am no longer going is the time change. I understand that works for mostly everyone else, and I totally understand that! But it's not convenient for me at all to come at 5 on a Saturday. I don't expect that to change for one person. Majority rules!!!

Anywho, that's my two cents, for what it's worth.]]> Lillehafrue 2010-05-21T22:45:56-00:00 http://irtnp.meianou.com/irtnpforum/index.php?t=rview&goto=2996&th=162#msg_2996 I want to know if brainstorming sessions are doing us any good. I'm of the opinion that most of the players could care less about them. At least two have said they aren't coming to them anymore, and when I put up notices about scheduling the next session, only one or two people respond. The rest don't see it unless I chivvy them. (And, yes, I'm pretty frustrated by that situation.)

So, vote. Do we keep them? Drop them? Change the frequency? If so, how often? Would changing the time or date again be helpful? What needs to be changed to make them easier to come to should we keep them?]]> Tikatu 2010-05-21T20:44:57-00:00 http://irtnp.meianou.com/irtnpforum/index.php?t=rview&goto=2995&th=161#msg_2995 There won't be a brainstorming session this month, mostly because no one except Lauren and Lynn responded. I understand that Rain has been without a computer most of the month, but what about the rest of you?

Again, I ask, are the brainstorming sessions worth it? Should we drop them entirely, or move them to every other month? What do you think?]]> Tikatu 2010-05-21T20:32:11-00:00 http://irtnp.meianou.com/irtnpforum/index.php?t=rview&goto=2994&th=161#msg_2994 starrynebula 2010-05-13T14:59:24-00:00 http://irtnp.meianou.com/irtnpforum/index.php?t=rview&goto=2992&th=161#msg_2992 I won't be able to make it, and probably not to any of the brainstormings from now on.

I voted yes. If you're not going to be home about the time you are due to post, can you leave a post with a mod? I may be gone for a couple weeks.

As long as it's in the beta queue, it's accessible to the mods. You'd have to send a final, beta'd copy back so we'd have it, and we'd be able to post it for you if you can't do it yourself. Just let us know.]]> Tikatu 2010-03-01T19:22:45-00:00 http://irtnp.meianou.com/irtnpforum/index.php?t=rview&goto=2922&th=154#msg_2922 susanmartha 2010-03-01T09:44:24-00:00 http://irtnp.meianou.com/irtnpforum/index.php?t=rview&goto=2912&th=154#msg_2912 I voted yes because I think it will get things moving again on a steadier pace.]]> Lillehafrue 2010-02-28T03:42:50-00:00 http://irtnp.meianou.com/irtnpforum/index.php?t=rview&goto=2910&th=155#msg_2910 ArtisticRainey 2010-02-28T00:58:45-00:00 http://irtnp.meianou.com/irtnpforum/index.php?t=rview&goto=2909&th=56#msg_2909 starrynebula 2010-02-28T00:49:40-00:00 http://irtnp.meianou.com/irtnpforum/index.php?t=rview&goto=2908&th=154#msg_2908 TracyFan4Ever 2010-02-27T23:19:48-00:00 http://irtnp.meianou.com/irtnpforum/index.php?t=rview&goto=2907&th=154#msg_2907 ArtisticRainey 2010-02-27T23:18:13-00:00 http://irtnp.meianou.com/irtnpforum/index.php?t=rview&goto=2906&th=154#msg_2906 ArtisticRainey 2010-02-27T23:17:26-00:00 http://irtnp.meianou.com/irtnpforum/index.php?t=rview&goto=2905&th=56#msg_2905 John is going to get a call from a friend and head to the mainland for a day.

I fried my computer yesterday, and it seems that my hard drive was the culprit. This means I've lost a lot of stuff--though not quite everything because some stuff was backed up on the laptop or online.

I'm looking for any and all transcripts from our brainstorming sessions. I tend to keep those in my files for later reference. I have the last three, thanks to Lauren, and Liz had a log of the October brainstorming that I'll be excerpting for a transcript later on. But beyond that, I've got nothing.

If you happen to hang on to these things, please, send them along via email. Rain and Shirley, I'm appealing to you in particular because you've been here from the beginning.

If you send them, please list which ones you've sent to the thread so we don't necessarily get any duplication.

Thanks so much!
Dianne]]> Tikatu 2009-10-26T16:34:13-00:00 http://irtnp.meianou.com/irtnpforum/index.php?t=rview&goto=2760&th=140#msg_2760 And if we have the house, we need the view from the porch...Glad no one was around when I climbed up there and took it!!!

I'm sending the Crenshaws to the mainland on the 18th to do some shopping among other things. If anyone else wanted to include their character in the trip, let me know.
