Send Supporter Gift

So if youve noticed Im MIA

It's because I'm officially done with The Canvas.

I've been kind of backing away slowly as of late, only popping in every once in awhile, posting even less.

Why? I guess it's not a big surprise - I've been feeling constrained by TC's current ownership. Don't get me wrong, I've loved TC. And I've met AMAZING people here.

But, and this is why I began backing away, I'm not so into the 'ship that I can't see when a storyline is crap. And frankly, what I've been seeing on the screen lately is crap. Manufactured, repetitive, non-angst, stupid little "bones" of happiness tossed to us infrequently.

I don't feel comfortable expressing those emotions on TC. I'm fairly certain I would be slapped down in a major way.

I don't approve of the indiscriminate post deletion and member banning.

And what sent me screaming for the hills is the recent "gifting" slash "hostile takeover" of TC. Not that my opinion matters, but I think it is WRONG, and it cemented my decision that TC has morphed into a publicity machine and nothing else.

Thankfully, I've found a better place to hang.
Road to Nowhere

Check it out. Tell them I sent you. Or not. Whatever....we're a pretty laid back bunch.image

Who am I

Short answer? The name is Karen. I go by busygirlks on TC, and you may see me around at other Liason boards by the same name. I'm an accountant, but I don't think I'm too boring. Although, most boring people probably don't think they are either. I've lived all over Maryland, but never outside the state.

Right now, I live in the DC suburbs (in MD), but far enough into the country that, were you to see my house and land, you would laugh at me for associating it in any way with DC. There are more cows and Amish buggies than politicians where I live. I tend to prefer it that way.

I live with my wonderful husband of six years, and our four cats. We're close to our hometown, very close to family and generally pretty content.

I write poorly thought-out Liason fanfic...I rarely if ever use an outline...and I have loved Jason and Elizabeth since they hit the screen together in 1999. Apparantly I have been forcing them on hubby (who was my boyfriend then) for as long, because he remembers the splinter scene.

Anything you want to know? PM me, leave a comment, or pop over to my site and post there.

I wanted to post a special "thank you" to anyone who nominated me for the "Safe Place Awards." It means a lot to me that you enjoy my writing. Thank you!

I LURVE YOU

    I totally agree with your comments about the Canvas. I've been tired of the Liason story since this past December but can't even dream of being able to discuss that on there. I'm glad you found another board that is more suitable. See ya around! :)

    popped by your profile and wanted to say "hi." i respect and completely understand your backing away from TC. TC was where i made best friends but when i found out i was lied to back in 2002, i went to the LU and i've never regretted it. but i can't handle that casey and koko who've always tried to play fair are the ones suffering at the hands of this. they created something wonderful and it has turned into a monster. i hope, if you are at all interested, that you'd be willing to pop by http://thecanvastruth.yuku.com/directory and sign the petition if nothing else. all the best, marian

    p.s. i hear nothing but wonderful things about "road to nowhere" - i might have to check it out.

    Hi Marian! Thanks for the kind words - I'm sure there are some (I've heard a few actually) who think we're horrible for leaving TC over this. But you gotta follow your gut right? I'll check out The Canvas Truth...I've gotten a few emails and it sounds intriguing. And the whole thing with Koko and Casey (even though I never met them personally), just turned my stomach. I wish people could see past loyalties to what is right and what is wrong. Hope I'll see you at RTN!
