Angelight, I'm damned shocked that you're stepping down, though I guess it shouldn't be a surprise. You've been one of the mods here all the time I've been on this board, I just never thought that the whole change thing would affect words. *sighs*
Thanks for everything you've done, for the way you and the other mods have made this forum the joy it is to read and post and participate in all the time I have. This receptive environment has been a huge influence in what led me to believe in myself and my writing to the extent that I do now.
I don't know what I can say to qualify myself for this position at all. I write, I post, I love this forum and I've sat here agonising over how to say it for about 4 hours now.
I guess my qualifications would be that I love writing, and I love reading other peoples writing, writing for me is more important than almost anything else, its a way of clearing your soul, a cathartic thing. Its a way of expressing yourself more permanently than conversation. I've only been writing seriously for about a year and a half, most of the time I've been on bluelight, posting in and reading this forum. I've got a folio an inch thick of my collected stuff, but that to me is really nothing compared to the joy I get out of reading the things that other people write, just looking at the little bits of themselves that people put into their poetry, their writing, and put it here, in this forum for us to read.
There isn't much else I can say but that I'd love to mod this forum.
