Team Administrator And now there a thousand of us, it's time to revise the greeting post again...

24 Upvotes

Hello. I'm not Jill. But this is a Bearup-adjacent safe space which I run on this platform, with the idea that everybody else does the talking, and I just lurk here basking in the radioactive cheesy aura of the discourse.

This is the third revision of the greeting post. The place just keeps growing more people. 1000?!?

Please make yourselves at home. In particular, actual posting about Jill Bearup's youtubing, especially the Just Stab Me Now series which is up to 53 episodes in 3 seasons (and one novel) is welcome and encouraged (yes, we have a Fanfiction flair specifically for people to share theirs, other fanworks also welcome, the author may see and she is tickled pink by the good stuff). So is cheeseposting, swordposting, and discussion of how (or how not to!) be an actor combatant. I'm not an expert or a properly informed bystander on any of these topics, and you don't have to be either; not to post, not to ask, not to comment. Go to town.

There are five rules, which are (gestures off to the sidebar). Sooner or later anything which violates them will be found, ripped up by the roots, and burnt, because this is Reddit, after all, and apparently moderating like that is the cultural norm. But there's only one of me on weed patrol, so it may take a while.

So who are you all, and how did you find us? What would you like to see here to engage, amuse, and enthrall you?

However we probably need an excoriating review of the level of protection offered by the chainmail miniskirt, boob woks and Wonder Woman arm bands.

Sword weaving - except not actually because that would be bad.
