Success Stories

Post by Storyteller »

I would love to see a thread where people talk about how reading Captain Awkward helped them use their words, get out of a job slump, ditch their Darth Vader, etc. And/or a thread where letter writers can update fellow Awkwardeers if they so choose.

Yes, I would very much like to see this as well, but wasn't sure what category it would go into.
No matter the question, love is the answer.

It's definitely the Captain Awkward influence that helped me come out with a "WOW" in a voice that stopped traffic when someone said something racist in my presence. I silenced the whole restaurant.

Hi! How about starting it in General? That's the place to put everything that doesn't obviously fit somewhere else!

We're getting one! I believe it'll come in the form of a "thanks" button.
When I am wearing my mod hat, it's official business. Otherwise? Nothing special. :)
