Ultimate Rejection

[sr71plt]

One of the forum regulars has found the ultimate rejection move for me. He removed me from his favorite author list (I didn't realize I was on it) on 2 October 2016--which isn't until tomorrow.

I sob for you. But not really.

I thank you. But not really.

As we used to say in my rugby-playing days: It's sometimes best to get your retribution in early.

I hope at least that someone has to pay extra to withdraw approval ahead of time. (or that they'll tell me how it works so I can go around favoriting authors and then pulling the rug out from underneath them a day early.)

My guess is that where he is it is already tomorrow. Maybe he is a Kiwi or an Aussie.

I'm sure your day is now ruined. My sympathies. I mean, they really showed you right? Now you're only on what? (checks top list sr71plt (1663)) so 1662

A crushing blow for sure.

Wonder if they're now pissed you posted this here?

But I've seen and heard of a lot of this lately and I think its because the little broken hearts are visible again after being gone for quite awhile. So when people knew you couldn't see them I guess they thought it wasn't worth booting you because you'd never see it.

But now? They can really show you!

I wondered if that was the case, but everything with a date listing seems to be on the time zone of the account. It was just amusing--both the future date of it and it being someone I wouldn't have guessed who have ever had me on a favorite list.

I'm choosing to believe that he's just cleaning out his lists while testing out the new system. The future timing of it was what got my attention.

Take your venom and splash it on the canvas of a good story. That is what I do when somebody takes me by surprise.

Now, I am curious to read your stories. Perhaps you gained a new fan.

 

[sr71plt]

Venom? I went out of my way to indicate that it amused me, didn't upset me. I would not have thought I'd been favorited by that person to begin with. I'm sure he did a double take himself when he reviewed his favorite author list and found me there.

That's not far fetched. I was looking through my fav list, which is pretty small and was like...who are these people and why did I fav them? I left it be though, again my list is small so not like I need housecleaning so to speak.

Apparently not, as you just did the favorited/unfavorited dance with me. And, you know what, it didn't increase my blood pressure a bit.

The funny thing is that there's one regular here who says I write shit and always have--but yet he favorited me as an author once. That was fun.

Well it makes it easier to troll an author if you fav him.

Because it helps you remember who you are trolling? Is there some sort of notification process on when a favorited author posts a story that I'm not aware of?

I heard there will be a notification feature 'soon'. But if you fav someone their story file is right there so the troll can pop in and bomb anything or everything. New releases I am sure they find in the daily story list.

I notice that the stories that get bombed the most for me are the "A's" because the trolls are too lazy to work their way down.

But I have heard of posters faving someone to make it easy to bomb them. I am sure many of us are on the pages of Scouries and Freddie alts.

 

[sr71plt]

My most read story is the Z one, but the most bombed ones are the numbered and A stories, yes.

 

[DemiAngora]

It is true. Your theme didn't appeal to me. Sorry dude.

And I'm happy you took it well.

 

[sr71plt]

I heard there will be a notification feature 'soon'.

Yes, I just saw references to that. I wonder if authors will be able to turn off the notification for their stories posting. I post at least one story a week. I don't really want to bother readers with notifications that often.

Yes, I don't care, but shouldn't favoriting an author come AFTER deciding you like their writing and themes. I didn't ask you to favorite me as an author before even checking out the categories I post in.

I've seen hints that the new system is changing "favoriting" to "following," which probably is a better term for how readers are using it.

Yes. It should, BUT I am not here for the quality of writing. I have an extensive library with authors that I admire and I like to read that instead.

So please don't mind me. I'm sure you would not like my theme either. I write CIA/mafia/BDSM stories that board on American psychobrutality till you throw up in every corner. My stuff is sick, but I don't write to please others

Good luck!

Wow, that's cool

You should look up the poster handsinthedark, you'd get along famously.

No, wait, I see you're female, don't look him up, you'll have to get a restraining order

They changed it to following because of twitter. In fact the new panel in general resembles a twitter home page quite a bit.

 

[sr71plt]

The irony is that I have a whole collection--maybe hundreds--of CIA/mafia/BDSM stories. More tense than violent, however (for the most part).
