YeahI got the stuff!
Hey Callie, great to hear from you. How's everything been? All is good here, got some published stuff hitting book stores soon, plus I finally finished my Tobit series. Let me know how everything is going with you!

Best,

K. Banning Kellum (talk) 01:58, March 24, 2017 (UTC)

Congrats!
Wonderful news that you've got a bundle of joy on the way. My son is 12 now, turning 13 next month, (God I'm old...) Still, parenting is one of the best things I've ever experienced. If you need some help editing let me know and I'd be happy to look over your work.

Best,

Re: Writing Advice
I'll sit down and read it through while making sure everyone else is on board to put it on the section (I don't think there'll be a problem, but I do like group decisions so it's not one person taking the reins). I've been doing good, in all honesty, I've been pretty busy running around and trying to get everything in order before I start in at university in January. Unfortunately that means jumping through dozens of hoops to meet the requirements. Also getting ready to be an uncle as my brother and his wife are expecting in September so I'm excited for that. Speaking of which, how are you coming along? EmpyrealInvective (talk) 20:29, August 18, 2017 (UTC)


 * Good to hear it's getting better. My sister-in-law is near the due date and I think she's about ready to have the child and be done with the pregnancy stage. Here's wishing you the best. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 20:47, August 18, 2017 (UTC)

Re: Delete!
I deleted it, thanks for the heads-up. I'll try to review the other stories when I get a bit more time. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 00:36, August 20, 2017 (UTC)


 * Eh, it tends to shift. Around this time I'm typically cooking/eating. For example, Dupin's on vacation currently. Admins like Christian are more active at night. Generally as long as something that fails to meet the bare minimum standards is deleted within a few hours, I don't see much issue. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 01:04, August 20, 2017 (UTC)


 * Mr. Skellebones has been out for a while. We've messaged him and Tom to get in contact with us a couple a weeks back as both have been out for over half a year now. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 01:18, August 20, 2017 (UTC)


 * Not too much really. A little drama here and there with QS (how it's too tough and they don't want to spend time on their stories), some people petitioning chat's return (although there's a Discord that's run by some older users), the ebb and flow of admins/rollbacks/moderators, and the typical stuff you probably remember back from when you were active.


 * We did away with PotM a while ago because users couldn't help but try and cheat the system (one using his son to nominate his stories, another socking votes, and a third petitioning Newgrounds to flood the polls with votes and we changed to the Spotlighted pasta which had admins picking from users' selection. We recently decided to go back to it to try and improve participation. Hopefully it goes well. What have you been up to in the meantime? [[User:EmpyrealInvective|EmpyrealInvective] (talk) 01:36, August 20, 2017 (UTC)


 * Best of luck with the animation idea. I know how tough those can be to get off the ground. As for the chat petitions, just random bits and blurbs in blogs and forum posts. Noting really substantial. RuckusQuantum made that discord chat a few months back and there hasn't been any real drive to re-instate wiki chat. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 01:47, August 20, 2017 (UTC)


 * I'm sure you can check out some art sites to try and find some talent who might be willing to work for exposure and a cut of the profits (should it come to that). Seems like a large undertaking, I wish you the best of luck with it. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 02:10, August 20, 2017 (UTC)


 * The latest one is on the front page. We had two collaborative projects (the one you helmed and a group one called Hallowroots). EmpyrealInvective (talk) 02:33, August 20, 2017 (UTC)


 * I'd say make a proposal and we can try to iron out any wrinkles while working out a premise. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 02:45, August 20, 2017 (UTC)

That'd probably work. I'll let the others know about it. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 03:09, August 20, 2017 (UTC)

Minor announcement
After that edit I have decided that from now on you shall be called exclusively Callie or whatever happens to be more aggravating in time.

Re:Heartbreak Hotel (for me)
We can talk about it sometime we both are free. Unfortunately I don't know if I'll be able to devote the necessary time with everything going on in our lives. We can chat soon and try to see if we can make it work. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 22:54, August 22, 2017 (UTC)

RE
Hi. I'm racking my mind trying to remember you. Callie. Please excuse my fried brian. So sorry. Can you give me a reminder of how we know each other? A refresh on what we talked about and what you're into. Thanks. Sorry I'm so stupid. HumboldtLycanthrope (talk) 01:39, August 24, 2017 (UTC)

You're thinking of someone else. I didn't join until January of 2015 (kind of a newbie, I guess, but I am a two-time pasta of the month winner and have won a good handful of contests). It is nice to meet you, though. I enjoyed your essay on writing in a second-person POV. If you are ever looking for something to read, I recently had a novel published: Kind Nepenthe, check out the reviews and you'll see a lot of familiar faces, Banning, Empy, Creepy Thomas, Shadow Swimmer. Welcome back. I'll take a look at your story as soon as I get a chance, probably in the morning. HumboldtLycanthrope (talk) 01:57, August 24, 2017 (UTC)

I'll be happy to
Yeah, I'll take a peek at it tonight before bed.

Re: Name
Got it, thanks for noticing it. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 02:31, August 25, 2017 (UTC)


 * Yup, sometimes I get them right as they're coming out. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 00:36, August 26, 2017 (UTC)


 * Commented, will note that the second link is a dead one as it links to a nonexistent DeviantArt page. I'll probably pop back in tomorrow and re-read what I wrote to see how I feel about it or if I should amend anything I wrote for clarity (Kinda late on my end here). EmpyrealInvective (talk) 05:26, August 26, 2017 (UTC)


 * No prob, glad you caught it. I'll read the link tomorrow (although I have a sinking suspicion I know who it is and what it's about). Have a good one. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 05:38, August 26, 2017 (UTC)

Re: App
I've decided to hold off on 'crat as I've steadily had less time for the site (with less time in the future) and in truth, with our channel, we haven't really needed multiple Crat's as it's fairly easy to reach Cleric. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 22:26, August 26, 2017 (UTC)

I Would, But...
Believe me, I 100% would do that, but I've already posted a shitload of stuff there, and I think some people are getting annoyed with me. (Understandable, I'm very annoying :3)

-Luna-Chan the Jailbird

I'm serious. Everything I've posted there is complete crap. Here's a snippet of an actual post on one of them:

Honestly you seem to not really listen to the advice others keep giving you. This is why there should be a limit to the amount of stories(Other works) you can post to the workshop, as you've posted around 5+ and haven't went back and worked on any of them and its clear you're not importing much of the advice other users have given you.

Resdraon seems quite hard on me.

-Luna-Chan the Jailbird

What do you mean, "the articles I already have"? Like, pages that (miraculously) have survived?

-Luna-Chan the Jailbird

Oh, ok. I think I might try and rewrite a pasta I liked out of the bunch that were deleted. :)

-Luna-Chan the Jailbird

Okay, thanks. :)

Hey, welcome back! I'm super lazy lately but I'll try and unlazify and check it out. XD Umbrello (talk) 01:12, August 28, 2017 (UTC)

RE: Blog
Hey there! Sorry it took me so long to reply to your character advice blog. I have now posted something. Please let me know if you write another one, I would love to give it a read! MrDupin (talk) 22:56, August 29, 2017 (UTC)


 * I'll post it to the channel and see everyone's response. I'll try to get back to you tomorrow if we're going to add it or not. Hope you're having a good one. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 02:26, August 31, 2017 (UTC)

A Heads Up
Just a heads-up Callie, I thought I should mention that there's been a bit of a change-up to the time table. As we recently reinstated PotM and Humboldt's contest is going to occur in October, we decided to push back the conclusion of the collaboration to November so as to maximize participation and exposure. We're doing this to make it so we don't end up with three stories (the PotM, the Collaboration, The Werewolf contest winner) clogging up the front page. Sorry for any inconvenience, but I think the added time would help the change in order for the Collaboration (if it's one person posting, followed by a second, then a third, it's likely going to take longer.) EmpyrealInvective (talk)


 * Yeah, we weren't thinking that the werewolf contest would be main paged too back given that it was proposed back in April and we're trying to do the best for everyone. If you look at the front page, you'll notice that we still have the last collaboration up so suffice it to say, the page is going to get its time in the sun. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 03:52, September 5, 2017 (UTC)

Collab Rules
Hey, I just noticed the 3rd person requirement in the collab rules. I think it needs to be dropped. Veterans exchanging stories will be doing so in first person so it's better to give writers a little bit of flexibility. They're gonna be sitting down and then opening up; they probably won't be reminiscing in third person. I don't think it's a restriction that makes much sense given the premise ChristianWallis (talk) 08:31, September 5, 2017 (UTC)

You'll never catch me alive as I am living no more and never before
I'll just eat the FBI agents, the perpetrators, the victims, the witnesses, their friends and families and...what where we talking about? Oh, I may just go with the easiest compromise between young looking girls and the FBI and go with Asians.

I have to notify you, since it's me writing it, it won't be a great start or stand alone in general. We can use the Writer's Workshop and such, right?

 * Die? Die? DIE? You shall feel my wrath, worryingly young one. That is all.


 * I'm the Hand of God. The one where he holds the spear 21:44, September 5, 2017 (UTC)


 * That indeed is a better descriptor of my character, yes. Die just sounds pathetic, like To-just sounds pathetic.

Asking a Senior Colleague
Good afternoon, Miss Tot.

There are some questions I have about the collaboration that will take place, and I was wondering if there was some other place where we could discuss it without cluttering up your Talk Page.

My first thought was Discord, but I'm not sure if you have a profile there.

Thanks in advance for your response

Scheduling Change Blues
Awelp, I know all this changing up the schedule for the collaboration is frustrating, but there's been another change in plans. Unfortunately Humboldt has decided not to do the werewolf competition for October so if you feel like you can get everything in order for the original date, you can. Once more, sorry for the inconvenience. We really weren't on the ball with this one and we'll try to do better. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 16:11, September 5, 2017 (UTC)


 * Hey, dropping in to say can you give us a couple of days before you make arrangements? We are trying to figure this out. Sorry for all this hassle, we are a mess, I know. I will contact you when we have sorted everything. Cheers! MrDupin (talk) 19:12, September 5, 2017 (UTC)


 * What do you think about setting the deadline for November instead? It would take a bit longer, but that means more people would be able to join in, since activity peaks from Halloween to the end of the year. After that, the collab will stay spotlighted pretty much until the next one. Does that sound good?


 * Also, judging from previous collabs, delays always happen and the deadline gets extended a lot, so I think the one-month cushion would be great.


 * If you are OK with that, you can post the official collab thread at the date you and Emp previously agreed on and an admin will highlight it. Sorry for the inconvenience. MrDupin (talk) 19:55, September 5, 2017 (UTC)


 * Nothing is going on, we simply had a scheduling clash. It all got resolved within a day, hardly a serious issue. Everything is well now, we will have both the contest and the collab. Cheers. MrDupin (talk) 22:48, September 5, 2017 (UTC)

RE: Yo
Lol to be honest I'm not sure if I can. I've been busy these past couple days and could hardly work on client work myself. I'd advise you find some time to do it yourself, because, right now, I have a really hectic schedule and can't help anybody else except myself.

Sorry about that.

Welcome Back!
I never noticed you were Callie. Huh. Welcome back with your....whatever account number this is. (how many accounts have you made over the years?) Hope you don’t leave again.


 * Thanks for pointing that out. I sometimes forget I can do that, but whatever.

Thanks for the heads up! ChristianWallis (talk) 11:23, September 9, 2017 (UTC)

You're on thin ice with me
It's cumin' up somewhat slow, but it's cumming together. The story too. It will be faster than you can sing You Suffer. Have a nice incineration.

Yeah its a little bit difficult
It seem a bit difficult, but i think i modified the story who is in review one who is the talker at first by make him asking while his friend suppose to answer, but also because in  french the "!" are suppose to be separate, but in the English i see when i was corrected the the "!" are not separated at all,

Re: Messages
Got those things taken care of. Thanks for keeping an eye out. Sorry for the late response, as you know, my nephew was born a few days ago so life's been a whirlwind of FaceTime, sharing photos (mainly on Facebook and Twitter), and generally just catching up. Hope you're having a good one. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 13:11, September 11, 2017 (UTC)

Alright, just make sure they're in the public domain and they're cited/tagged properly. Have a good one. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 21:16, September 15, 2017 (UTC)

Hello, Shabase refugee
As it is taking longer than expected and I don't want to stall the thing too much, I wish another person to be allowed to start the things. My apologies.

RE: Collab
It would be my honour, Miss Callie.

Just one question: is there a specific setting for it (place and time) or is that one up to me?

Hey, I noticed you were an experienced critic and you hate micropastas. So I thought you would be perfect to review my micropastas lol. Only if you want too though, don't feel as though I'm  forcing you. Thanks 😁
