My dear daughter

My dear part walrus daughter has joined ABC Tales under the username Rosiejedward (that might be a capital 'J'), but she is still busy honing her first post. I've praised her before about her writing, which is quite insightful considering her age, but she writes very little and I wish she would produce more - maybe this is a good step for her to take. I have explained to her that I would feel uncomfortable singing her praises on here, but I will criticise where I feel criticism is due. Right now I'm looking forward to reading her first story, which is top secret.....

As far as I'm concerned, Trevor, the more goo-gaahing, the better.

Hiya, rosie, I'm really looking forward to it. If it's even half as good as your dad's stuff, it will be well worth reading. Best wishes. Trev

Aw, proud daddy. To hell with not praising her. On here she stops being mini-walrus and becomes a writer.... praise her like any other member. No shotguns if the guys hit on her and no axes if she has to take a bit of crit like anyone else. No physical(written) violence of other members is permitted, rule number 143: sub section 94: sub clause 36. And I bet her first cherry will mean more to you than your own did. Hi Rosie, looking forward to reading you.

Surely the words 'cherry' and 'daughter' shouldn't ever be heard together. Walrus will have a shotgun at hand! Welcome to the site, Rosie. :)

I intend to keep my shotgun well holstered (if shotguns have holsters, which come to think of it they obviously don't, but you knoworromean). My kid is a budding writer just like everyone else on here, if she doesn't lose interest and crawl back to Facebook to type a seemingly never-ending series of LOLs and WTFs to her buddies, that is. I think criticism of her work can only do her good. It has to be more constructive than the twee 'Aah, that's nice' dished out willy-nilly by the average English teacher, but saying that I had some really good English teachers. Sooz, are you sure you mean sub clause 36? I seem to recall that that particular rule plainly states in the Queen's English like wot I speak that shoving site members that upset you or look at you in a funny way into a human being shaped oven dish and simmering them for three hours at gas mark two with pearl barley and winter vegetables and scoffing every scrap of evidence with a couple of cans of lukewarm Kestrel Super to wash it down is perfectly permissible as long as you keep quiet about it.....

No Walrus that's clause 37, which absolutely contradicts clause thirty six.
