Timothy M. Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Why don't you have a Sasha Distan Forum any more ? Link to comment
Irritable1 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) Why don't you have a Sasha Distan Forum any more ? He misbehaved really terribly. We're not allowed to talk about it. Edit: there was a blog post I think. General forum simplification. Edited February 27, 2015 by Irritable1 Link to comment
Sasha Distan Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Why don't you have a Sasha Distan Forum any more ? Edit: there was a blog post I think. General forum simplification. Pretty much. Since there were only 2 Promising Author Individual Forums, there wasn't enough threads per year to justify their existence or something. So they got dropped. So we're in with everyone else, rather than the new Proms being offered a forum of their own. Oh well... Still, shouldn't be too hard to find the threads, right? Link to comment
jess30519 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 It seems to me that Sasha is far beyond being merely a Promising Author: he is a Delivering Author, and among the very best on GA today. Surely another promotion is overdue. 4 Link to comment

Surely another promotion is overdue. I totally agree, jess... although I have to point out that there is nothing 'merely' about being a Promising Author.... and I know you meant nothing by that... but I agree that Sasha deserves further recognition for all he delivers to his multitude of fans... If he hasn't surpassed 'Promising', I don't know how others have... just saying 3 Link to comment

Puppilull Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I heard this song and somehow thought of you or rather some of your characters. Not just for the obvious reason (the song title) but more because I think the song captures that despondent feeling some of your protagonists have had, when they realize they have done really awful things and kind of hate themselves. This song to me shows a man on the edge of letting go, in that moment just before the sunrise (literally or figuratively). XOV - Lucifer: 1 Link to comment

This song to me shows a man on the edge of letting go, in that moment just before the sunrise (literally or figuratively). XOV - Lucifer: Gods, I really hope the version I found is the same one you linked. Gotta love Vevo - I swear nothing is available in any country... I hear lots of things in this, it's nice, though not the sort of thing I'd normal listen to. Who are you thinking of in particular? Link to comment
Puppilull Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Oh, crap! I keep forgetting that not everyone lives in Sweden... The song is also on Spotify, but that's maybe not much more help. Who did I think of? Nathan, mainly, but also for instance Jonas and Jessie. Those two didn't do anything themselves but still felt they were to blame. The guilt eating them alive. You write that state of mind so well. Sharing music is always a gamble. I guessed this isn't what you listen to regularly, since you refer to country songs so often. This song just speaks to me. 1 Link to comment

I'm always up for sharing. there (can) be too much sharing, but this isn't it, don't worry. It's always nice to discover new things and find out what my writing does to other people. That's why it's out there after all. Link to comment

Puppilull Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 If you feeling slightly out of sight, don't worry that you are out of mind! I heard another song and thought of you. Or rather Tobias and Zai. Just the refrain and more literally and happier than the singer intends it. Tobias seems quite content with Zai's special attention... It's Sabina Ddumba -Scarred for life, if the link gives you trouble. A brilliant Swedish singer. Sabina Ddumba - Scarred For Life (Official video): https://youtu.be/DnyhC30ATGM 1 Link to comment

Sasha Distan Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Hello there, inhabitants of the Sashaverse. I hope we are all keeping well, getting some sunlight and gazing adoringly at our loved ones (and loved animals) So I am working on Chapter 14 of Sanctuary, so I am ahead of you guys, but not by my usual comfortable margin. In between the many issues of moving (ARGH) and the long and arduous editing process of Cowboy Summer and the American Songbook Vol 1 (dear god thank you Kitt, Vin, Rustle, and Dugh), I am trying (and failing) to work on something for the upcoming anthology, and writing bits for a new story starring a boy and a leopard and a lot of awkwardness. Stay good kids. Please know I love you all. SDxxx 4 Link to comment
