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 …

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?

@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.

Sounds interesting – will look it up

Squidge replied to the topic FAQ: Requesting and Giving Critique in the forum Critiques 7 years, 7 months ago
Can I add something extra to this list, Jules?
By all means, give examples of how differently something could be written when you give feedback – sometimes seeing the work written differently helps you as the author to understand what difference that kind of change could make to your story. But don’t be tempted to completely rewrite the whole…[Read more]

Squidge replied to the topic Getting an Agent. in the forum Blogs 7 years, 7 months ago
My agent experience is somewhat limited, but I’d add that it’s not the end of the world if you don’t get one.
Although I worked with an agent for two/three years, when she decided not to work with me any further (bearing in mind that nothing was signed between us in all that time) it gave me the freedom to strike out on my own. Course, I…[Read more]

Aw, well – maybe we’ll have to go together next year if they do one! What is a Golden Egg workshop?! Sounds very children’s author, too!

One day conference. Like a mini-York, but only for children’s authors!!
Called Wolves and Apples, it’s being held in Leicester. If any of you want to go, I can put you up in Loughborough and be travel buddies, cos I’ve just booked my ticket.

Squidge replied to the topic Den of Writers – Forum Feedback in the forum Admin and Technical 7 years, 7 months ago
You’re not the only one, Ath – I’m finding it hard too. I think Jules said there’s about three different ways to access some info, and problem is I can’t remember which way I did it! I think I’ve not got stuck into my head the various ‘levels’ within this site – perhaps I need to draw up a visual map for myself to help navigate! A flow chart of…[Read more]
