‘DON’T GIVE THEM ANY BACON!” I laughed so much at this and the pictures of ‘real world’ Homelings, too funny.

I definitely would like to see more Homeling videos and more stories.

Fantastic work Norse!

Its not that HSM has slanted the playing field all that much, it’s that some of us Homelings like to write, and enjoy writing about something we love. As Norse pointed out, articles about many other groups have been included on the HSM front-page. But it takes someone to actually take the time, write a story, and submit it; I believe that its the lack of willingness to do so on the part of other groups which has led to the lack of articles about other groups. I highly doubt that HSM would turn away a decently written article about any group in Home (as long as that group was not a negative or disruptive force in Home) because it wasnt Homeling enough.

And, as far as SealWyf’s ‘status’ in the Collective is concerned: she is a vastly intellegent, empathic, and driven individual. She has brought much Glory to the Collective as a whole. While she writes some wonderful articles (both Homeling oriented and not) for HSM, it is the totality of her accomplishments as a Homeling which has afforded her some ‘status’. And besides, our creedo is “We are many, we are one” for a reason -- its not about the individual or thier supposed ‘status’, its all about what they add to the ever growing melting pot which is the Collective.

Kassadee Marie recently wrote an article involving Hamster Freedom, which Eve was kind enough to retweet. CountEdmondDante wrote a profile on RHO last year, and the only thing preventing us from further coverage is that the group itself seems to have concluded. Sue wrote a heavily discussed article not that long ago about fams and mafia.

Just as some publications may have a featured columnist, so HSM has a featured column. And, yes, it is a direct reflection of the support the Homelings provided HSM in its earliest days, as well as the support they continue to offer. If there are other groups out there who wish to receive similar visibility in HomeStation, which has one of the largest audiences of any Home community media project, we are certainly open to such communication.

It’s worth noting that there are a few Homelings who have contributed to HomeStation: Seal, Keara, Johneboy, and so forth (in many cases, with non-Homeling material). On the subject of “status mileage,” SealWyf, the current Homeling columnist for HSM, is indeed a fairly prominent figure within the Collective. I personally think that has more to do with her work on the Homeling art shows than anything else, but you’d have to consult directly with the Homelings about that, as I have no information on that matter.

We tend to get some nay-sayers and haters, happens in any Community I suppose but we have many followers and those who greatly respect us as well. Can’t admit it didn’t bother me when I saw a long time forum posters tag line state something to the effect of “If you’re even suspected of being a Homeling, you will be deleted off my friends list”. What gives with that? ::Scrolls down to shrug emote::

To Jayson619: This Homeling has a Homeling Avatar in each region and will stive to wear it more often due to your comment Since we do have many Homeling region hoppers, perhaps we shall create an event and post our visit time in the near future.

I wonder if “Homelings have supported us” is the whole truth? I see that most of Homeling articles have been written by one person, who is an officer in the Collective. She’s obviously getting some status mileage out of writing these. If you didn’t have a Homeling on the team, would you be printing as many Homeling articles?

Just some questions from the other side of the screen.

Their outfits are kinda cool. I’m not a Homeling but I wear a similar one occasionally ‘cept I use a Ghostbusters Stapuft head only I call myself the Pillsbury Doughboy on account that’s what someone referred to my outfit as when they saw me and I liked it so I kept the name.

The first time I saw a Homeling type outfit was in the short lived Star Wars Voyager (sic sick) TV series which lasted one episode. It was written by Harlan Ellison and John Williams the music guy not the writer in his only known to me dramatic script with a copyright.

The article was good but as far as this quote, “Sort of business 101, nest-ce pas?”, I don’t dig what that means. It’s above my head. Sorry. Perhaps I am ignorant but then again I don’t know who Arensio Hall and Dick Caveat are except like the rest of us they presumably are… just like the Homelings who are just like the rest of us who are decent beings.

Don’t pay any attention to me. I’m just practicing my typing. Betcha’ I messed it up again.

I especially appreciated the “Are you coming to bed?” cartoon. So true…

That being said: We ARE everywhere. We WILL klent you all. Then we will assimilate you -- willingly -- into the Collective. Resistance is futile. We are many. We are one. And we are freshly scented. Why wouldn’t you want to be Homeling?

Also, this isn’t satire.
