Dear A Girl 🙂

How are you going to become the best fanfic writer ever… 🙂  
When you can’t seem to express yourself… 🙂  
without using multiple smileys? 🙂

Writers use words. 🙂  
Illustrations can enhance a story… 🙂  
but if the story is not sound, illustrations will not help. 🙂  
And smileys are not illustrations, anyway. 🙂

And by the way, using too many smileys is extremely annoying. 🙂

See what I mean?

Love,  
Green Bean

I use them because they’re cute! I guess to show I’m happy. In a story, you’re right, I’d have to write it out. “But I don’t have time for that when I post,” she said smiling.

I guess it is a little annoying, so I won’t put any in this post.  
But I’m still smiling…

Smooches to you, GB  
A girl

Come on now…Girls have the advantage without plagiarism. They don’t have to do anything but study one evening with the professor on the couch…straight AAA’s.
