1D Group-Write

@ dancingskiingwriter

Corie.
I'm done with this discussion.

Fine. Take my character out then. I don't want anyone else writing her at all. She's my character and I want her out

@ dancingskiingwriter

Don't worry. I won't mention her in her exit.

@ Anchor and Hope.
You don't have to be sarcastic. You're being unfair so just leave her out

@ dancingskiingwriter

I'm not being sarcastic. I'm just not going to have her in it. No worries.

@ Anchor and Hope.
I don't think this is fair. I want to be part of it. I thought people on Mibba were supposed to encourage other writers

I'm sorry guys. I don't think this is fair at all, but I'm so sorry. I was being a bitch. It was just my mood for the day and I'm sorry for reflecting it all on you. I don't mean to cause tension and I'm sorry.

I don't want to leave, I really don't. I know I've been terrible to you all and I'm not fair but I don't want to leave. If that's really what you want, I'm sorry. I didn't mean any of it.

@ dancingskiingwriter

I'm really sorry, but I'm not going to change my mind.
The way you treated us isn't fair.
What's been done and said cannot be taken back.

The working relationship cannot, for me personally, come back from this.

Anchor and Hope.

I said im sorry! I get it - you're easily pissed off by me. Sorry. I don't know what else I can say. Because this sucks.
I didn't mean anything as personal attacks. I'm sorry. What else can I do?!

@ dancingskiingwriter

You aren't understanding.
There isn't anything. This isn't the first time we've had to pull teeth for an update, but it is the last. I told you I do not believe things can change, and I am firm on that.

I know this sucks- but up until now it hasn't fallen on you- it's fallen on is. The waiting, the wondering, the attitude.

I'm not easily pissed off, not in the slightest. I literally get paid for a living to keep calm in the face of crisis. I gave you four months, I offered my help and encouragement but you did not take it, and then accused us of ignoring you and "leaving you in the dust" and simply I cannot tolerate that.

I am an incredibly tolerant and generous person, but once I'm done, I am done. Being nice got me nothing but walked all over, and eventually I have to turn that nice off.

Like I said, I'm really sorry.

@ Anchor and Hope.
Listen, I was just trying to apologize. I find it unfair that for one second you guys are asking me to make my choice - which I did - and then the next you decide to make it for me, the opposite decision.

And I don't understand how you think I've "walked all over" you. Honestly I did not see your post about if I needed any help - I didn't see it. I'm sorry.

I get it - you're pissed off at me. For one second you're encouraging me and the next you're telling me to leave. It's not fair. I want to be a part of this and I don't think it's fair that you can just kick me out. That's not right.

You're not acting like you're really sorry about it - you seem like you're really glad I'll be gone.

@ dancingskiingwriter
Corie, read the words I'm writing right now- don't read between them or think there is a hidden meaning because there isn't; I'm going to be completely straight here.

First of all, we were more than willing to keep you on as an author when we originally asked you. But then you became quite attacking on myself and Becca and decided to act like we were some how being mean towards you. I didn't like how you were making me out to be anything else than what I was being. I then realised that there was no getting through to you, that everything I or Becca said was going to be taking as an attack on you, when in reality we were trying to sort out a situation that should have been dealt with a while back now. We've been patient, now you owes us at least some patience back. Stop jumping down our throats and insisting we are calling you out on your writing ability etc.

I really felt I could get an update from you and things could go on fine. But because you've chosen to be defensive and hostile about the situation, you've created a tension between us that can't be rectified. So how could we possibly carry on this story without any communication, because right now, I feel like I can't communicate to you at all without you taking what I say the wrong way.

If you like, I can walk away and Becca and you keep it going with Emma? I could remove the story altogether, or you could walk away and allow myself, Becca and Emma to finish something we've put a lot of work into.

Your choice.

@ antidote.
That's not fair! I was not attacking you! Never once did I say any of this was your fault and I never meant it like that. I'm sorry if it came off that way. I don't want to leave and I don't want anyone else to either. I'm not reading between your lines, I'm just saying. It's not like I didn't put work into this too and I'm sorry. I don't think it's fair to just kick me out like I didn't do anything because I have just as much potential as any of you In my writing abilities.

I was not being hostile here - don't read it that way please. I don't think this is fair.

@ antidote.
@ dancingskiingwriter

Corie. You aren't understanding.
We have taken enough.

You may not see it, but you were hostile.
You were hateful.
You were disrespectful.
You've acted like a child.

The way you have treated us the past four months wasn't fair.
But this past 48 hours especially.

Yet again, no one is saying you didn't put work in- we never said anything of the likes. You continue to put words in our mouths.

We physically and mentally cannot, and will not, do it anymore.

We are not willing to do it.

I, myself, cannot continue this discussion.

I've told you. I made up my mind- you asked me how I know things can't change? Look at your past. You were the only one we consistently had to chase every time to get an update. That is not going to change.

Like I said.
I am done.

@ Anchor and Hope.
I was not putting words in your mouth - I was simply stating that I worked hard too. That's not saying that you said I didn't.

And what do you think of your own attitude? I think equally as much you have been condescending and rude to me. I'm sorry.

So has this been a thing you guys have all been talking about behind my back? Thanks. I thought you guys were my friends and understanding, but I guess I was wrong.

You only can't change what you don't want to change, and obviously that means you'd rather just get rid of me. Not words in your mouth, just a simple conclusion.

Like I said, I thought you guys were my friends. Obviously it was never meant that way.

@ dancingskiingwriter
I really can't do this anymore.
Where did you read that we had been saying things behind your back? Please stop with this turning things as an attack against you. We are adults here Corie there is no need for all this.

Since you're not willing to back out, then I will. I brought all us together and even though we worked as a team, I feel responsible as it was my original idea for a group write here. It feels shit that I have to walk away from that, but if you want to stay and continue, then I can't.

Please don't say Becca is being condescending because she isn't and you could get her into a lot of trouble.

Corie, you're a fellow writer, but a friend is someone who you talk. I guess I thought you were a friend, but how I've been treated tells me otherwise. I believe this will happen every time with your updates; And to be fair we all know this isn't the first group write it's happened in!

This is where I make my finally plea against you to stop all this. But you can stay- I will just leave instead.

@ dancingskiingwriter
@ antidote.

I'm not willing to let Becca walk away. That is completely unfair.

This was, by all accounts, her baby.

She invited us in and allowed us to be a part of this.

So if Corie does not walk away, this story will be deleted.
It's as simple as that.

@ antidote.
@ Anchor and Hope.
I'm sorry guys. I thought we were friends too. I don't know why this happened and this sucks, so whatever.

I'll go away. Take my character out.

I get it, I'll leave all of you alone and never talk to any of you again. Whatever. So much for friends.

@ dancingskiingwriter
It takes two to tangle. Would you say you've been a good friend?

And it a happened because 4 months is how long a story should take, not a single chapter. It also happened because there was no communication on your side, which was disappointing, especially when I saw how active you were on the site.

Anyway, we will give Ellie an exit and she'll be gone. We respect your wishes to not have her feature any longer. I'm truly sorry things had to end this way, but even you have to admit it all went too far.

@ antidote.
I just wanted to try and fix things - but no one else seems to feel that way, so I'll go. Whatever. Goodbye.

I said my goodbyes and you don't need to keep telling me I'm a bad friend. I get it. I see none of you care anyways that I'm sorry so be disappointed or whatever.
