Oh, thank goodness! I can now rest. **fanning self with hands**

WILL YOU GUYS JUST STOP?!

Ishilove: Vintage Red Moss

He isn't Redmosquito, trust me.

For how long are we going to continue doing this? Just two chapters and hell is about to freeze!

You guys (Brokoto and Efe) are giving me cardiac arrest. Why is it that anytime I try to solve one problem another one springs up? I'm getting tired.

Yellow_Mosquito: I have read meaning into this statement of yours and I will make sure WHYTE also understands

I pray she does. When are you gonna reveal your true identity? I need to add your name to the writers' list and people are thinking you're Red.

Yellow_Mosquito: Have you heard of Male Mosquitoes biting and spreading malaria? You know who the culprit is na, not me and not Red-Mosquito

**Buzzes away as he sights Whyte Mosquito coming**

No wonder I don't get on well with female mosquitoes.

Yellow_Mosquito: Dude, you need to teach EFE how to respond to peoples comment, if not na war go dey rage on for here

You need to change your signature, it's gross!

Yellow_Mosquito: I saw that oooooooo

Anything wrong with that? Aren't you my friend?

white mosquito: Larry? Wer frnds? Dint know na. U dint accept my handshake so i assumed wer stil on silent treatment.*dancing atilogun* larry is my frnd o. Iya iya o!

I never regarded you as my enemy. Show me where I've shared vile utterances with you. I'm above that.

white mosquito: Put my name! Put my name! Put my name! * jumping up and down like a mating chihuahua* i want to be famous! Yellow, ya crazy o

I don't fancy you being a writer.

brokoto: come, what is it sef? Upon the apology you still de feel one thing one thing. Are you the only one bearing Efe? What vanity!
Shey its you writers who say that all resemblance to actual persons or events are purely coincedental? Warrisit? Abeg park well Jo. If you don't contribute others will continue. Mecheew!

What did I say about unity? You are complicating issues my brother.

Eze Promoe: [color=crimson]Larry, what happened to "PARADOX OF ABEL"?[/color]

Eze, Paradox is fine, I was planning to update on Sunday but malaria disallowed. I guess that's what happen when you become friend with too many mosquitoes.

sigmundfreud: R.I.P

Goodness! Sig you no try at all o

Ishilove: Would you rather I put TWO nails?

You aren't a capenter na.

Thanks Xsolutions.

Frank, as much as that name is fit for the character, I'll be very glad if you edit it. To make peace reign. Efemena would be updating right after Moss, and the fact that Efe is her name, she has all the right to demand its removal (coincidence or no coincidence). I wouldn't want to lose a writer based on a problem that can easily be solved. I'm very sorry for the inconveniency this request might cause you. I'm very sorry.

Oops! So typos I made there! I meant '...we need to quit...', '...we shouldn't continue talking harshly...'

uj_sizzle: Goodmorning guys



*to self*
darkest ota....
I see...
*buys flashlight*

Morning Sizzle. How was your night?

white mosquito: Since wer all clearing the air. Larry, i neva said red moss was best. Far from it. But if he continues working on critiques he recieves the way he does, he is on the way der. Howeva, inasmuch as i will not flatter or insult, i WILL cal 'it' as i see 'it'.

I don't have any qualm with you.

Efemena_xy: Larry.

As long as my name features in Frank's post, consider my participation withdrawn.

Thank you.

I will talk to him. I'm sorry.

Ishilove: Yes, Larry?

You just put a nail in my coffin

Good morning guys. I'm sure you all had nice dreams. I need to make some inherent corrections about some posts I've read on this thread so far.

1. I think we need to quite biting each other's heads off. We should continue talking harshly to each other. We all have different limits at which we can manage insults. Nobody is anybody's puppet.

2. Contrary to what some people are saying, I'm not trying to make any writer become me. We all have our different writing styles, and that's one things that will never change. Imagine how ridiculous it's going to be if Soyinka tries to become Achebe. Frank's writing style is different from Larry's, but Larry's isn't any better from his. What writers need to watch is their errors. Hell, a professional editor is capable of pointing out fusillades of errors from my Chapter One. The most important thing is to make sure our works are personally and carefully pruned as much as we can.

We should likewise criticize and critique with love and respect. Like someone has rightly said, every writer deserve being criticized but no writer is up for insult. There are many ways we can correct without weilding the hatchets.

When I initially saw that Frank named his Character Efe, I was like "What the hell!" But I later assumed that it could only be a coincidence. Just imagine how it would sound to a serious reader when he notices that a character is sharing a name with one of the writers. He would deem us a bunch of comedians. Please guys, there is an abundance of name to employ rather than using our fellow writers'.

The collaboration isn't a tug of war o. We are only proving that Nairaland writers love each other and can work hand-in-hand to create something interesting. I'm sure that in years to come, this joint work would become one of Nairaland Literature/Writing classics. And, please, nobody should consider anybody the best. We're all best in our own unique ways. A few chapters does not a best writer make. Someone made such error on a writer's thread by trying to emasculate another writer. I pretended not to see it, but at least, that has proven to me enough how such person's mind works (Please I'm naming no name). The reply the writer in question gave earned that writer a lot of my respect. So, dear readers, do not condemn another reader in the bid to praise one. This isn't easy at all, creating a chapter out of other writers' previous chapters. At least, cut us some little slacks. We cannot write and plot alike, it's impossible.

Thanks.

Bless you all.

Ishilove: He resides in darkest Ota
