Comments on The LOA by Andy G {L.O.E.M.A.T.T.L.O.A.}

Mostly Harmless

This is absolutely inspired…

If it stems from real confusion ‘LoA’ is an acronym for ‘League of Awesomeness’, a thoroughly informal organisation promoting Ficly best practice – writing, reviewing, entering challenges, sequelling etc.

I wouldn’t want to think of myself as an admissions officer, but if you wanted to take the plunge Elsha or THX are probably the people to contact…

Either way, a fabulous story – well done! MH :)

I can’t believe wikipedia has stuff on us…

I MEAN—No, Ed’s right, it’s the Leauge of Awesomeness. But funny way of putting the name into your own advantage.

LoA scared me when i started 5 days ago too, and look now i am one.
I second the wiki-loa elsha. And since we are a group of authors we can make the wiki page extremely unique

Ah, this brings back memories of MJY’s petition to get me in the LoA (http://ficlets.ficly.com/stories/36114).

And as what others have said, basically the LoA was set up to recognize people in the community who went above and beyond, basically commenting and sequeling much more than simply posting their own stories.

You’re right. That DOES make sense.

I wanna be in LoA (sniffle) – what’s wrong with me? (doublesniffle)

Do what I did – when THX first came up with the idea, I emailed him and told him I was joining, giving him suggestions for my Official Title. Forsooth, one does not join the LoA – one is superlatively awesome in word and deed to the point that one has effectively planted a foot behind the LoA’s foot and jiu-jitsued it to the ground with swift yet loving force, straddling its upper torso and clenching its shirt tightly in one’s fist while shouting “I’m not asking, I’ve JOINED. BOOYAH!!” And thus it is so.

Hilarious. I feel a little silly that I didn’t think to involve voodoo from the start. That might have been cooler. And it would give me an excuse to own and wear a top hat. I won’t blather on here, as Elsha gave the link to my other blathering.

Huzzah for writing, humor, and ficly!

Ha. I knew MJY. was up to something when he tried to enlist me in L.O.A. he muttered about voodoo. I thought he had cottoned on to me. But notice it is so much nicer to have just one “Nom De Plume” By the way well written and researched Andy G.

Quite funny, and I didn’t think there was a way to make voodoo funny. Good job lol.
