Can you describe any other user on Yahoo!





Thank you Persiphone Hellecat and Leheria (sorry if the spellings are wrong!)..
Some more answers please?
The Vet and PJM are also very nice. I had a long phone conversation with PJM tonight in fact. Great guy. Have met him personally. Pax-C
Some more answers please?
I only got two answerers in my contact, they are The Vet, one of the top contributor in this category and The Box of Rain. The Vet is a voracious reader and I love the books that he's reading. The Box of Rain, his answers are funny and he is not afraid to put his ideas in his site no matter how crazy they are.
Reply:Persi will tell you how it is, every time. When responding to general writing questions she packs her answers full or practical and observed advice. Some take her answers in response to critique questions as being rude, however she only responds when she sees talent in the piece. If she responds at all, it means she thinks you write pretty well, and what she points out are the areas for you to improve. She doesn't bother telling you what you did well, the 19 other people who respond will point out that crap. She's to be trusted, thanked for her input.





LJK actually researches his answers. You can't say that for many people, even most TC's, but you will rarely find one his answers not having at least on source to send you too. Very helpful, and out of the right spirit. He's also an experienced Journalist. I just had to ask about some Journalism classes I'm taking in the fall and he took the time to recount his experiences in an email. Above and beyond.





Reader may be one of the most well read, and kind natured people in the world. Her lists of suggested reading vary from pop culture romance to classic Greek tragedy. She spends time thinking of her answers, and only answers when she has solid, defendable feedback to give. She is also quite often amusing and enlightening. (There is a reason for 50%+ best answer ratio.)





Maryn Bittner knows something about everything. I once saw her answer a question about Shakespeare and move directly into a question about urinating puss and get best answer on both. She is very smart, well worded, and fun on top of all that. She will find the silliest questions on the site and provide funniest straight lines in history, for example, she once answered, "What do you do when your kids learn to escape from the basement?" with "Reenforced chains always work for us." Too fricken' funny.





Amaranta. I added Amaranta after reading her answers in the philosophy questions. She is a very thoughtful person with a passion for literature. She has answered several of my questions about teaching and reading and gotten best answer because she is just on-point most of the time.





That's all I've got at the moment. There are ton of fun people to watch on here, and on these long boring work nights if I'm not writing or reading that's what I do. Very amusing dialogue takes place quite a bit.





Give me a sec, I'll check who I'll I've got...





Okay, 3 more, and then I'm done.





Brenda_Coulture just started posting on here, and she's amazing. One of few published novelists who willingly reveals her identity. A romance novelist who publishes for one of the power houses in the romance industry. Not only are answers very helpful, but on her profile page you can click a link to her blog where she has described the process of publishing her first book in a diary format. She's another very direct answerer, no beating around the bush with her.





Dixie Woman is very talented writer with a background in journalism. She answers thoughtfully, and is usually pretty funny. She also has a habit of starring the most interesting questions she comes across in a wide range of categories making her an invaluable contact.





TWK is brilliant. I've got no clue where he's from but he answers questions in a variety of languages, and is amazingly well read. He is a go to go for questions about spirituality(so is Amaranta, I forgot to put that up there), an open minded person more than willing to go in depth with his answers.





Alright, I'm done.
Reply:I can describe many people on Books and Authors.





Persiphone is of course, the lady sitting pretty at the top. ANd she deserves it. She is excellent in all her answers - straight forward and honest. On your face- type of a lady. And so is she in her emails. I love reading and re-reading them, like a story.





Maryn Bittner is the lady with a very stern looking avatar. She is very good in her answers as well. As TheVet said, she answers in many sections. I often follow her profile to other places on Yahoo!Answers. And all her answers are so detailed.





There is another user, ck1. She has a baby face avatar (almost). Her answers I think are most remarkable. So much fum to read and so polite. She is like a champion on Jane Austen books.





TheVet is a War veteran. It seems strange an army man and so well read. Well, his answers on books are very detailed. I find it hard answer questions after he has answered. There is nothing more to be written....





There are more, LJ K (my and his answers often contradict - but I respect his views nevertheless), leheria2, |%26lt;rypton and "The Reader". I havent read too much from them but they are also good.





There Is one more not be forgotten, T M. He is so helpful and just a look at his profile confirrms that. He has put up a list of links to websites on his profile which novice writers may find useful.





Dixie Woman is another good user. Someone whose answers I always read.


____________________________





That is my current memory of Books and Authors and I am sure there are more.





I will like to say Thank You to all the Answerers from whom I have learnt a lot.





Edit:


Thank you TheVet - for that special mention.





TW K
Reply:There are several in Books %26amp; Authors who would be justified in billing me consultation fees just from my leaning experience in this category. The intelligence here astounds me most of the time, such as:





I follow TWK in B%26amp;A but wonder if I'm missing him in other categories. I want to add him (her?) to my contacts but have wondered if I should email first. I'm flattered to know he reads my answers but, knowing that, I'll have to do better now!





PJM is a retired fed (interesting, huh?) and I'm always impressed with how thoughtful and considerate his answers are.





LJK had the career I once thought I wanted and might have had if I'd kept my ducks in a row. I have to read his profile regularly just to see what's new. Have you read it today? Do!





TM can be so patient and offers research sources I might never have found otherwise.





Loryntoo blows me away sometimes.





Can't leave out Persi on a list like this. She makes me laugh every day.





TheVet knows more about literature than I will live long enough to learn. On top of that, he's a doll. If I were 10 minutes younger...





Maryn Bittner, well, she's just not human. Maybe she's some sort of biological computer. Amazes me daily and never fails to make me smile.





I also like johnslat, a very interesting man. He's not a TC but has 48% BAs at level 7.





For history and physics, I know I can count on Terry D. And for a belly laugh that can sometimes bring tears to my eyes, there's Olorintheyounger--outrageous and lovely man.





Thank you all.
