that throws me to the ground

[thatrcooper]

I am supposed to be going over my galley proof today, only I keep getting embarrassed at seeing it in print and looking away.

The front is lovely though. Old-fashioned and pretty.

Etiquette question...are you supposed to comment when you friend or follow someone you don't really know? Similarly, are you supposed to comment when they friend or follow you if you don't know them that well/at all?

I suppose it's one of those things where you can do whatever, but one is seen as slightly more or less bitchy than the other.

And then the dilemma, start working on the synopsis for the dragon thing (which I hate doing) or waste time writing long fanfic insane thing that's eaten my brain? Dammit. *Or* brainstorm online with someone this original thing that would be awesome but which will likely never get written? ARGH.

Also I am still thinking on the charity thing. Would people bid on me if I offered a short story or something? A free book? hmmm

Comments

I would say that if its something you want to comment on, then comment. Otherwise don't. I don't believe that there is any social rule that says you have to comment on their blog.

You're probably right. It just seems weird. Like I know there's nothing really to say to a "thanks for the add" comment, but I feel like I'm leaving someone hanging.

I think the friending etiquette depends on whether on plan on talking to them or just reading their stuff. Personally I think that a little shout out is never wrong. ...but then again, I never friend people I don't want to talk to. :)

I could not be more socially awkward, this is clear to me now. Even online, I am hopeless. :)

I haven't read most of the books the people are talking about, so I don't really have much to say on the subject.

It should not be difficult but for some reason people decided that they don't need no effing netiquette and now we don't know anymore. It's not you.:)

No apparently manners are optional. Which just makes me feel so old I can't even.

[dlasta.livejournal.com]

We are old. Internet years are like dog years.
*nods*

haha

That's horrible! ...but true.

I never say anything. I mean, how do I know they're following me because they like me? It could be one of those, "Haha, this person sucks! I will follow them so I can laugh at them the next time they post some sucky story!" type of situations. And then if I was all, "Thanks for the add!", I'd look pretty stupid, wouldn't I?

That honestly had never occurred to me. Are you really being hate-followed? Who could possibly hate-follow you? (Don't say Water)

[plainapple.livejournal.com]

Well I don't know but I won't discount the possibility.

[r-cooper.livejournal.com]

They follow you because they are in awe of you, you know it.

(I was going to say in awe of your awesomeness and then realized how redundant that was. lol)

[plainapple.livejournal.com]

Awe! Everyone marvel at my ability to string naughty words into smut! Peen frotty peen ass!

[r-cooper.livejournal.com]

Well it *was* that egg thing that really got my attention regarding you. yespleasemorenow

[plainapple.livejournal.com]

Damn! I thought it was my cheeky smile and big blue eyes that won you over. :(

It's haaard to write psych smut anymore. For one, I feel like I've said everything I had to say about the characters. For two, Roday.

Those two things exactly. Timmeh needs a new show so we can love him some more.
