Subject: ERB: Removed from Elfwood
Date: Mon, 30 Apr 2001 01:54:44 +0200 (CEST)
In response to your letter, this is to let you know that you have been suspended from Elfwood due to numerous rule breaches, as well as severe misconduct and immature behaviour in Elfwood. These are very much NOT in the spirit of the Elfwood Community. Our records show that we have issued you numerous warnings ranging from your bio picture to art theft and each time our records also show no response to our emails.
More recently, we have noticed your involvement in a situation along with some other artists. Upon research, we found rude comments (to say the least) left by you, in the comment boards. We also noticed that your gallery seems to have been taken over by at least 2 other people, hence this letter is unaddressed. Gallery sharing is not allowed in Elfwood, nor is the sharing of your Extranet password. Your password is confidential and is yours. Disregarding this means -immediate dismissal- from Elfwood. Not only do you compromise your security, but Elfwood's as well.
This case is still under investigation. Feel free to email back, however no further discussion will be entertained about your dismissal from Elfwood due to the oustanding rule breaches. Do not flame the ERB, Thomas Abrahamsson, other Elfwood administrators or other artists either via email or any other form of communication as this will be considered as harrassment and can be grounds for legal proceedings. We hope this answers your query.

Thank you,
Elfwood Review Board

Hello,
Yuko has just shown me a long history of emails that she has saved regarding correspondence over the theft of art and her identity. I am Yuko's mother.

I am very disturbed by the thread of accusations in the correspondence.
I do not wish to be involved in this in any way, but as I hear more complaints from Yuko about this, I'm more inclined to think that I will need to take some action.
In hopes that this goes no further, let me say that Yuko is my daughter; she uses the names Kaido and Aido. She has no other names or identities on the internet.
I sincerely hope that these accusations go no further and that this message serves the purpose of verifying Yuko's identity.

Andrea... What am I supposed to say to this?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don't know what to say. Though this confusion I am
extremely hurt. I can't
blame you because I don't know whether you're lying to me, but
nonetheless. You say you know Andrea wrote Revival. You have just
laid out before me bits of what you call proof.
I say this hurts me. Because contrary to what you say you know I may
say what I know. I wrote Revival. I don't know how or why
there's confusion but I know, in my
mind and soul, that I did... I spent two years languishing
in front of this very keyboard, half of the time in my
house, half of the time
in my old house in VA. During dinner or social events
in my mind or in a sketchbook I would spin ideas.
If you are honestly, from your very heart and
mind, telling the truth, I must say that I don't know
how this could be possible. And because I respect
you enough to give you
a chance at reconciliation, and take into account that you may be
telling the truth, you in turn must respect me and
hear me out. As well as you say you know
that Andrea wrote it, I know that Andrea told me that she
did not write it
, and
that you were in denial as to the true author.
In the case that you are telling the truth, I don't
mean to offend you. I am
not trying to raise an argument, but you have to
understand that I am extremely hurt.
Because I tell you the truth... I swear to all things sacred... that I wrote Revival.
I don't know how this aroused misunderstanding,
but for me, Revival was my life, my retreat and my
exile, it compensated for all I
could not be, all that passed me by, all I
could not achieve. I spoke to Andrea about this
and she told me (this is the truth, please
don't be angry) that she had told you that she had not written Revival. I am
and always have taken the name Zoe "Xay" Foster,
I met Aido in a BB chat
nearly three years ago. We became friends
over our shared interest in Japanese
culture and, of course, dragons. Out of this inspiration I wrote
Revival, with no help whatsoever. Contrary to your story I had
no real friends to urge me on and stand by my side in
times of doubt. I slaved over writing this
200-page novel for two long years, and now there is
this controversy. I don't know what I did to
have this taken away from me, I don't know why I
seem not to deserve my words. Whether this is deception or
paradox, I don't know. I don't know anything any longer.
I am confused, upset, and though you speak
against it I would like to request that you talk this
over with Andrea. She and I, for a while, were on decent terms,
and I don't understand why this
confusion is suddenly arising.
I have nothing else to say for the time being. If you
can find some clarification for me, I would deeply appreciate it.
Again, the best of intentions. I want to make peace.
--Xay
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She's as sure of herself as you've ever been. Either she's actually delusioned herself to believe all of this to the deepest reaches of her heart, or she's really telling the truth. I replied and told her that I'd be talking this over with you, and would get back to her ASAP. So now we've got to talk.

a bit of conversation
BewareOfTheDragn!-- (5/24/01 10:15:02 PM)--: I like andrea a lot.......we're like sisters. I believe pretty much everything she says and I don't know what to think. She's warning me that you lie.
TausFox!-- (10:15:46 PM)--: I won't bring up the past, but she has done her fair share of lying as well, i think we both know it
BewareOfTheDragn!-- (10:16:13 PM)--: yeah.......but she's gotten over all that.
BewareOfTheDragn!-- (10:16:22 PM)--: she swore she wouldn't do that again.
TausFox!-- (10:16:43 PM)--: No, she has't. She still smokes, did you know that?
BewareOfTheDragn!-- (10:16:53 PM)--: yes I know that
BewareOfTheDragn!-- (10:17:27 PM)--: she swore to me that she would never copy anyone else again or claim to be anyone else
TausFox!-- (10:18:03 PM)--: so she probably does, but i know she lied to steph.. her BEST friend and said she doesn't
