Welcome to Dear Elly, the IcyBrian.com advice/questions column. Here you can ask just about anything, whether it be about a relationship, sex, politics, work, Buffy, you name it. But before you read any further, be warned that this section contains vulgarity and many, many sexual references (duh... it's hosted by SweetElly.) So if you're offended by those things, well, go away. And if you're a parent whose 13 year old has stumbled upon this area of the site, don't email me complaining about it. Instead, try actually paying attention to your child's activities and, I don't know, talking to them about their interests. Remember, the computer isn't a babysitter.

Send your questions to dearelly@icybrian.com. You can ask about anything you want, but be prepared for anything in response. The questions will be answered by Elly and a few of the other people on staff. If you want a certain person to respond, you can request it. Also, you can choose from one of these pictures to go next to your question. This section will be updated more often than the rest of the site (so updates to it won't always be posted on the main page.)

Let's meet the staff, shall we?

SweetElly
SweetElly

The original Micronesian sex goddess, SweetElly takes time to field questions when she isn't in the middle of one of her sex romps or running from the forces of the evil Juan Cerda. She likes long walks on the beach, mithrildos, role playing, and circumsex. Her dislikes include Juan Cerda, Slicer Dogma, and semicolons.

Asyria Nightshade
Asyria

Fledgling writer and composer. Helpful in areas of love, sex, depression, and stress problems. Asyria just LOVES to put her two cents in about almost anything. She is rational but supportive. She also has no tact whatsoever.

Average Joe
Average Joe

Writer, artist, philosopher, mathemagician, listener, and all-around nice guy. The one you'd seek out if you had problems in Algebra or Geometry, or if you just needed a shoulder to cry on. He knows a lot more than he thinks he does and probably a lot less than you think he does.

Human
Human

Human is an aspiring writer/actor (*sigh* isn't everyone?) who has a profoundly pathetic knowledge on subjects such as television, movies, and law. He's fairly well versed in geekery, and is able to coexsist with other, saner people quite well. He'd like to think of himself as a good judge of character, and at least quasi-fluent in the language of common sense.

Icy Brian
IcyBrian

Your friendly neighborhood webmaster, Brian is an independent filmmaker who has some knowledge in most areas. His areas of expertise are love, relationships, anything acting/movie/TV/music related, politics, and lots of other trivial things that will never help him in the real world. Brian will try to help you when he can, and be sarcastic when he can't.

Krazy Sam
Krazy Sam

The resident heathen and former foreigner, Sam's semi-versed in topics such as drawing, interacting with people, slacking off, and coping with incredibly stressful situations. While naïve, Sam DOES possess a micron of common sense, and is resourceful when she needs to be. Skills include being cheerful, wasting time, and fixing laptops with ticky-tack. When she grows up, she wants to be a starving comic book artist.

Nightsong
Nightsong

An overly-opinionated writer and musician with a knack for, well... something, Night spends most of his time deep in training to become the ultimate slacker. His areas of expertise include writing, anything to do with the music world, and various bits of philosophical gibberish that only he cares about.

TheatreCat
TheatreCat


TC is a neophyte actress, singer, writer, artist, biologist... (pretty much anything you'd expect out of someone with "theatre" and "cat" in her handle) who enjoys her constant walk on the dotted line between genius and insanity. She's fairly well versed in the ways of mankind, common sense, empathy, making a fool of herself, and life as we know it -- everything else, she knows how to look up -- and will more often than not do whatever she can to help those in need.

WanderingProphet
WanderingProphet

Geek, sociopath, and psychologist in one, WP's bluntness and sarcasm may seem slightly shocking at first. However, he feels that honesty is what is in order to resolve a conflict, whether it be on a personal or social level. While having plenty of mental issues of his own, he finds relief in helping others with their problems.

Wizard Slayer
Wizard Slayer

Genial, fedora-wearing beardy-man. Practices 'Rational Romanticism' and is always willing to invest WAY more into a project than it is actually worth. 'Athough you may choose to live halfway, you won't live twice as long.'

IcyBrian's RPG Page

Elly is not a liscensed physician, psychiatrist, psychologist, or veterinarian. She has however, had sex with at least one person in each field. SweetElly and all other fictional characters are copyright to IcyBrian.com, and cannot be used elsewhere. Elly can't answer every single question that is sent to her, although she will try to answer all questions asking for actual advice; more inane questions that are being asked simply to be asked, however (such as "why do my toenails itch?"), won't be answered if Elly has a lot of other mail to get to.
