Holidays and absences [3]

I also found this from perhaps before her forumshire days: https://www.deviantart.com/meikoelektra

Dear Meiko Electra,

Ever since you disappeared from Forumshire a few years ago, we've missed you and wondered what happened.  We talked about how worried we were about you.  So I started looking and to my amazement found your new website!  It's really exciting to find what you have been up to.

I realize email correspondence may be difficult for you, so the group delegated me to ask if you would like to receive personal emails from us.  It's not surprising to find you are an artist, for you touched each of us individually during your time on Forumshire. As artists do.  It would be lovely to reconnect.

Best Wishes,

Julia (Mrs Figg)

Could use some work, but I think that's about the size of it.

yep that should cover it.

While I no longer have an @hobbitmovieforum.com email address, I wouldn't mind being the person to send the email, but I think Mrs Figg is better suited if she doesn't mind. And I like halfy's draft too.

Will probably not be around for a month or so!

Enjoy!

A lovely draft, Halfy. I vote for Figgy or Eldy too.

I'm on secret admin business for a month or so. You all probably won't even notice I'm gone. I miss hanging around here and chatting, not just lurking...

{{ Lance- have a great, if mysterious time not spying at all


Good email Halfy- I'd be happy with that going ahead. }}

ok I sent the email

edit,
the email can back saying it could not be delivered, I used the one on the website and sent it through my email, it didn't look like an email because it had .com at the end, I am not sure how to send an email in this case.

Don't emails always have .com at the end? (or .edu, or .gov, etc.)

Well drat. Did you check spelling? There's no webmaster contact either, I think we're hosed. There is her old deviant art account, but that hasn't had a response from her in years. Still, we could post a message there and hope.

Okay, I posted a comment to her deviantart page. Not hopeful of response but perhaps she'll see it and know we care.

when I first clicked on the janet email it opens the Microsoft blue email thingie on my computer, mine doesn't work because I forgot the passwords or something, anyway if someone feels like trying to post the letter feel free to try.

Okay, I sent it.

cool

{{ Ok I tried sending it to the email address on her site from my hotmail account too, so far not had anything back saying it failed. I'll keep you posted if Halfy doesn't hear anything back. }}

yep, that's what 90 degree heat does to my brain.

Fahrenheit I hope...

{{ Got a reply from Meiko! }}


Dear Amarie, Mrs Figg, Eldy, Halfwise, Dave, Chris, Lance, Pettytyrant and many others,

Thank you for your kind words.

Even though I disappeared from Forumshire, I have not disappeared from the Shire. In fact, I have just returned from rereading Lord of the Rings once more. So it is such a happy coincidence that you email me on this day.

I have also missed talking to everyone. Unfortunately, my injury has left me without the ability to write or speak, something for which I was known to love to do . So, I need assistance to write this email but, never fear, I am sitting here presiding over the dictation of it.

Art has given me the means to communicate and this year I had my first exhibition. Now I can invite you all to my next one, now that you have been lovely enough to find me again. I am also overjoyed at being able to come back to the forum, if you don’t mind me being more of a spectator this time as it is difficult for me to contribute as much as I would like.

Thanks again and meet you at the Forum

Meiko Electra

Love you Meiko!  

Wonderful to hear from you, Meiko! Thanks to everyone on both ends who made this communication possible. We'd be delighted to have you as much or as little as works out.

That's wonderful so glad you are back in the Shire. We have missed you.

This is all so wholesome and good.

Well, if that young lady isn't the best tonic in the world for guts & determination ! One feels humbled & inspired at the same time. Best wishes to you, your strength is heart warming

{{ Az! Good to see your back, as you may have noted on the Tales of Home thread I might be having need of a witch! }}
