Tank's Re-retirement: Reprise - Lois & Clark Fanfic Message Boards

Ok, the original discussion that triggered this poll is lost in the ether somewhere... but the poll shall live again!

I had suggested that Tank be obliged to not only exceed the total number of stories of any other writer (as was suggested by several FoLCs), but exceed total number of KB as well. Tank was... less than enthusiastic about this suggestion. So, I suggested putting it to a vote -- or at least a poll

-- of his "gentle readers."

Of course he can retire. Just not from writing L&C stories.

Okay I posted of course for `Tank can`t retire ever`

But I have a question: Wasn`t this poll posted yesterday already? And I had already, as well as several others, voted

Yesterday the boards crashed and the last 24 hours worth of posts were lost. Everything posted before that had been backed up (thanks to Annette's wisdom

).

Sorry for the inconvenience.

No problem was just kinda confused for a while here and thought maybe I had gone crazy or something like that

Ooh, I like the new response, Rivka!

Well, it seems to me that Tank can't retire, even when he says he's retired. Besides, writer's don't "retire". Have you ever known a writer to really retire???

I voted for Tank may retire whenever he wishes, as often as he wishes -- as long as he keeps writing.

Thank Paul. He pointed out its absence when I posted the poll originally... so since I had to redo the poll anyway, I made it New & Improved.

Something Wendy mentioned in her responses to the feedback in her latest instalment of WLMC made me come back here to take a good look at what finally transpired.

So, it appears that I can retire anytime and as often as I want... as long as I keep writing.

THANK YOU.

Since nothing in that codecile mentioned anything about what kind of writing was required. I guess that would mean that any kind of writing would meet the conditions... like posting comments on the message boards on other folks stories. That's writing, isn't it?

I think I'm going to get to rethink this unretirement thing.

Tank (who loves a good loophole)

HA!

Nice try, Mr. Wilson...

Tank can retire 3 weeks after Steven King retires...
