If you ask me it seems like WP doesn’t appreciate the brilliant authors who write LT Fanfic….please back up your stories and let us, your ardent readers, know where you republish.

Lastly, I will not remove this author's book from the LT FanCon list. I love those books and I am not that petty (most of the time).  Whether or not she shows up for YOU when we discuss her books, I don't know; but she is more than welcome.   
          
          I still honor the wonderful writers on this platform and I have recommendations of LT FanFic on other platforms.  It's just great having another outlet to enjoy Les Twins.

Part 3
          
          Don’t step your pinky toe into American History if you don’t want to know the truth…we get enough of that…To delete comments so that you can put out what you want people to believe — That playbook is old. But you do that a lot don’t you which is why I don’t read your so-called non-fiction shorts. I have told you, if you are going to tell something, tell it straight.  If you are going to be a journalist, own it.  
          
          I left the IG LTSister Group because of this very same BS.  I did not want to come out of my bag on nobody so I removed myself.  I don’t know how LT can stand it but then again I would do the same.    
          
          I love the TWINS but I didn’t drink the kool-aid.  Nor do I need to make up stuff or ignore reality.
          
          I am not with the BS but I can make it a project-so now you know.
          
          PS-So let me tell everyone how I view this thing  -  this is a Community.  Some people use the words LTSisters like it’s a moniker, but we have lives and our own views that we all share.  If you come to my LT FanCon Book Club I do not shut anyone down.  I welcome all points of view.

Part 2
          I was a friend but my feelings don’t matter?  Just yours?  Do you really believe that your feelings hold higher value than anyone else’s?  Throw that privilege out the window. 
          
          You have the audacity to instruct someone on how to something you put on an open forum bringing up the Confederacy of the good old south. Your feelings were bruised because this author gave you way more respect and consideration than you just gave.  You weren’t even blamed for anything but you feel attacked for being told something you claim you did not know, which tact and grace.  This was nothing but another thing to be learned in your journey.  That is what life is; a series of experiences that teach us something.  The tact in which you were told was admirable and you seemed genuinely understanding.  BUT then you pull this today.  Thank you for showing who you are, I receive it.  And if I sound emotional, I am! Because you removed the conversation and gave your little version implying you were being ‘attacked’; By whom? A fellow Author? Me?  For caring enough to say something in love and not to offend you.  You bring out the buzzwords, crocodile tears and have the nerve to say don’t comment because you won’t read.  I can’t make excuses for the depth of arrogance that you put out. 
          
          This right here, call it what you will, you may try to get WP to ban me.  But I don’t live and breathe Les Twins remember that.  I am putting this here on WP because I truly want to counter that BS you just did.  Don’t put out what someone should have done to spare your feelings when you could have picked up the phone and done the same.  2-Way street, you are no better and there are no kids in the room.
          
          For the record, the conversation yesterday was short, respectful, informative and you responded in gratitude, albeit FAKE. 
          
          For the record, no one did anything against you besides give you more respect than you are giving.

Is this a Community of adults; people from different backgrounds, cultures, countries, languages, etc.?  I think so!!!
          
          Full disclaimer, I am emotional...
          
          I have a rainbow coalition of people in my circle so my empathetic muscle is STRONG!  I love to learn something new everyday of my life and purposeful communication.  I don’t get offended or use words like ‘attacked’ when someone tells me that I said something offensive. Switching your wrong around to make yourself a victim is the definition of ‘gaslighting’.  If I say or do something inappropriate, I apologize genuinely and hope for understanding.  Period.
          
          For anyone who wants to know the truth @tonig73 is using inflammatory language with no justification which is why she chose to delete the comments.  DM you for what Toni, You put your words out in the Community for all to see so why not keep them there? What I do know is that nothing harsh was said TO you, ABOUT you or your character.  That is a fact. The majority of the comments were positive; but you missed that I guess. When your message shocked me, I came back and read it because it came from YOU and I thought I knew you. I didn’t assume the worst or say you were attacking me. Do you know how it impacts me?  No, because you only care about your feelings apparently. Instead you remove the conversation and write your own narrative making yourself a victim and adding a ‘buzzword’ on a SM platform.  WOW!!  Did you ever stop to think that you could have DM’d someone with your so—called feelings instead of trying to make people look bad.   
          
          I am calling BS when an Author (one who I respectED) thinks that it is okay to paint a false equivalent of an event especially against another author. Do that all day on those workshops but this is not some celebrity gossip. And, I include myself because I concurred with the sentiment of the initial comment.

I am not going to lie, another LTSis and I talked about going to the Concert in Poland and we both decided not to because we were fresh off of the London stop.  I attended the London concert with @tonig73.  Now I wish I would have also gone to the show in Poland because my other LTSis is from Poland so I would have gotten a personal tour too and because this Concert is making HERstory.  QueenBey truly looks like she is having the time of her life; everyone honestly just looks like this tour is pure fun.  Looks like Ashley is not even missed and Blue Ivy - just WOW!  WOW, WOW!!!  For everyone who uttered a negative word about this young girl, shame, shame.  She is her mother's daughter and is making them eat those words.  Everything about this concert makes me smile.  Les Twin's are clearly enjoying themselves as they give workshops in between shows....okay, okay, okay.  Meanwhile, The Book of HOV and The Brooklyn Public Library ....yeah....let that resonate....BIG D*CK play for the people in the back.  If I was in Brooklyn I know I would have had tears in my eyes seeing Hov's lyrics on the outside of that building.  I felt it in my toes because I remember the very first release.  I have listened to Jay from Day 0.  And when I worked inside the industry, people paid him no attention in the beginning.  "I never asked for nothin' I don't demand of myself...Honesty, Loyalty, Friends and then WEALTH. Death before dishonor and I tell you what else, I tighten my belt 'fore I beg for help." (Hov)
          
          Inspiration can be found everywhere.  I am inspired by seeing them live their Dream, keep family close, be healthy, and continue building their wealth with amazing business ventures.

Quick note: if some of the chapters in "Niki's LT FanCon" come across a bit wonky (unformatted) it's not me.  I've noticed WP removes the formatting sometimes. I have had to update 2 chapters to put back the spaces and returns.  I'm not a professional Coder but I know a thing or two and can help them out if they're listening.

....ooohhh chile, it's a busy, busy world in the LT FANDOM.  If we wanted to make this FanCon about reality we would have things to talk about but I am still completely convinced and utterly in love with the FanFic.  Somehow, these worlds fascinate me and the talented authors show that everyone does have a gift that can open up the doors and give them the world.
          
          I have the links to all the books referred to me, and I will read.  But, I have a favor to ask.  Some of my messages are fr. m people who don't follow me. Please follow me and I will follow-back. WP is fickle so we have to go the extra mile to ensure we receive the updates, conversation threads, etc.
