Should we have a hashtag so we can all find and share tweets and guide people here?

Hope you are able to get it up and running at a new venue Athelstone. Took me ages to figure out where my room could be! I reckon all of us must have a few e-mail contacts with other Cloudies, that when pulled together would cover the majority of those that signed up for the challenge. Perhaps messages could be passed on. Good luck with getting it…[Read more]

Can’t believe the cloud simply doesn’t exist any more… Calling myself a Dennie doesn’t have quite the same ring to it. So what DO we call ourselves here? Suggestions welcome…
-
Yes, it is very sad, but we can’t say we weren’t warned. How about DENizens?
-
Denizens
-
Although I also like Den-dwellers
-
Denizens 🙂
-
Denizens!
-
I like Denizens. Den Dwellers is rather good too 🙂
And yes that sudden complete failure was a bit of a shock!
-

-
Denofians is my suggestion, but TBH I prefer denizen.
-
Q: What do we call ourselves here?
A: Anything as long as it’s polite -
Denizens. Although, I might be more of a denlet than an izen. 😉
-
I was thinking denizens too.
-
Not ‘Dense’ then?
-
Denizens – I like. And @sandradavies – just look at the folks already here. Definitely not dense in any way, shape or form! 😉
-
Dentists? Maybe not …
-
Sorry Squidge – I’m editing :-(, but a quick look at the OED suggests ‘dendrite’ -‘crystalline growth , or ‘denatant’ – the migration of fish. I rather like denominator …

-
Denizens perfect 😀

Ach. There goes a chunk of our collective history. At least we have a den-shaped future. Group hug?

@debi – hello lovely editrix! Sorry I shan’t see you at York this year, but I’ll be thinking of you all from afar xx
-
We’ll be raising a glass or three to absent friends. xx
-
Can I please join the absent friends group? Will be thinking of you.
-
Will be strange I imagine, not to have cloudie badges on display…
-
Everyone here has automatic membership. Mind you, if we have a separate drink for each of you … Hmmm.

Ha! Point taken. I will assume nothing and you can all shout at me if I say something you definitely do know about.

You do all know about ShortStops, run by the wonderful Tania Hershman, don’t you? https://shortstops.info/ The regular emails she sends out list all the events and comps in one place.

Has the Word Cloud disappeared for anyone else? I just get a blank page.
-
Me too – a ‘This site isn’t working’ notice. Both Cloud and YWP Has happened before and come back … fingers crossed.
-
I just have a white blank page and no messages at all on the screen.
-
I have a blank white page, too.

Hello, lovely Den Dwellers. Thanks so much for inviting me here. I’m neck-deep in prep for York and reading for the Costas (largest ever entry this year), as well as trying to sort out the new platform for the course. I’ll make sure I find time to hang out here whenever I can. So good to know this place exists. xx
-
Wonderful to see you here, Debi.
-
I’m feeling quite emosh TBH. What a great space.
-
Having just kicked off a competition on the Cloud – and the Cloud currently lying on its back contemplating its maker, I hope this isn’t the only place (apart from the Townhouse, obviously)
-
You’re a total legend for starting a new comp. No idea what lies in wait for the Cloud. Sigh.
-
It’s not looking good at the moment.
-

-
Yay! Hello, Debi.

*waves*

-
Hi! And welcome!
-
Hi Debi 🙂
-
Very swish here. What a star you are.
-
Welcome, Debi! So nice to see you here.
-
Delighted to be here. The resilience of writers, eh?

-
Welcome 😁
-
Thanks! Such a warm welcome from people.

This has been a really encouraging thread for someone whose still battering at the agents’ doors. I am definitely one for bloody minded perseverance, so I’ve got that one ticked, and am always striving to improve my craft. I’ll take a look at those podcasts Philippa, they sound excellent.
I’ve just finished Mark Forsythe’s Elements of Eloquence…[Read more] -
