Things I Learned From Blogpulse and Google's Blogsearch:

- That when that unbalanced girl accused several dozen HP writers of stalking her and posting her photos on nasty dirty porn sites, among the people who believed her and banned me were both Wizards For Bush and the Conservative Fangirls Coalition.

- That it's really common for someone to post a comment on a rec saying, "Wow, that was a great story," and never say anything to the writer at all -- what's up with that?

- That when my name shows up in those memes that randomly fill in blanks with people on your friends list, it's usually to do something attention-grabbing, such as insist on walking around naked, or set the back seat on fire.

- That when it comes to online life, there are big advantages to having Jim Ellison-style intimacy problems.

On the subject of feedback, I noticed that you answered a poll a friend of mine ran a few weeks ago and checked the option that you sometimes didn't leave feedback because you "Just don't know how to put into words the way you feel about a fic". I nearly fell off my chair. If Resonant doesn't know how to put into words the way she feels about a story, what hope is there for the rest of us?

So, maybe these people think their words are good enough to speak to the reccer, but not to the author.

Hee! I've got about five SGA stories in my bookmarks even as we speak, waiting for me to give them feedback on the level that they deserve, even though that's totally my ego issue and the authors would probably be perfectly happy with "Enjoyed it! Great characterization! Laughed a lot!"
