Writing in public

[iwatchus]

I've tried to decide if I would wear a lit branded tee shirt.

Or... we should all print this out and stick it on our laptops:

Let people know we're not ashamed of what we do!

If I see someone in a coffee shop with this sticker on their laptop, I'd approach them. If we hit it off and they seem normal, I'd consider sharing my username.

How much for a Literotica YETI tumbler? You can never have too many tumblers.

I'm starting to think a Lit merch store would kill.
I might have to talk to Laurel about some branding opportunities.

I think they would do really well if they had a subtle, more artistic logo that people who know would recognize and it would be only mildly suggestive to people who did not know the site.

Almost like a secret handshake.

New idea: print out the sticker, and your profile pic!

Exactly. The lady on the front page. IYKYK

If you know, you know...

Is this like that upside-down pineapple thing?

or tumbles...

I recall us doing the "secret handshake for erotica writers" a while back. I suggested a vigorous up-and-down motion.

I only write at my computer. I take notes on my phone, a lot of notes, but can't actually write on it. I bought a small laptop for writing on holidays and city breaks and have taken it on multiple trips with me, but genuinely never opened it a single time on any of them. I'll still keep taking it though, in the hope that I will use it eventually

I got a tablet mostly for watching TV, and an external keyboard. But I need a better keyboard - the one it came with is so small compared to my desktop that it's hard for me to use.

Something LitE or LE?
or, honestly, the [lit] logo on the forums would work as-is.

Put me down for 6 baggies.

Or is it sold by the gram?

I’ve never been particularly concerned about someone looking over my shoulder. If I write in public it’s almost always by hand, and I can barely read my own writing.

To me it’s a bit like worrying whether someone can see into gaps in my curtains or otherwise see into my house: I will observe the generally agreed-upon social rules for propriety; beyond that if you really want to snoop it’s on you if you see something you weren’t prepared for.

I don’t talk at parties about the dirty stuff I write, because I don’t want to make people uncomfortable. But I’m not ashamed of it, if someone wants to poke their nose in.

I occasionally write in my office at school. I have had students walk into the office unannounced and quickly swapped to other things on my screen.

So you are Allison Janney's character from "10 things I hate about you?"

 

[big_cane_sugar]

I do write in public and I try to be mindful of whether someone who could see my screen would be bothered. Funnily enough, one time when I messed up I was on a bus and a young lady (20s or maybe youthful 30s) was sitting next to me and all of the sudden I realized that if she had glanced at my screen she might have seen some very "interesting" descriptions of physical realities. I actually got the sense that she was curious but trying not to get caught. So I scrolled back to a more romantic scene and started revising there lol

I have never seen 10 things, so I don't know her character there.

This is an advantage of mostly writing on my phone. Though there have been a couple times on the bus where I've been just in front of the raised seats and can feel the glare of a church-going lady, and decided to leave my editing until later.
