The Official Corvus Turrim Thread

[KeithD]

Wow, guys. The post was paranoid and over the top, but I'm not sure it warrants a beheading, especially since it's here on his own vanity thread. I mean, isn't it his thread to rant in if that's what he wants to do?

Well, no, it's not his thread to do what he wants to do with, I don't think. People don't own threads they open here. But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe folks send checks to buy their own piece of the discussion board to decorate exactly as they'd like.

What's the "new" author's page?
The page (linked in my signature line) which looks like everyone else's list of stories, has my one series doubled. So I'm assuming that's the "old author's page"?
In my "authors' control panel" page, with the list of my works that only I see (you know the one you submit from), doesn't have it doubled.
Is there a different version of a public facing author's page that I can get to?

Yes, what you are calling the public facing page used to be the author's page also.

The new author's page is a great change in a lot of ways.

Let me tell you about a problem I've been having with the admin people here. I had a different account before I started publishing my stories as e-books. After I started using the pen name of Corvus Turrim, I created a new account, revised my older stories and started moving them over a few at a time. For some reason, a couple of my series showed up as duplicates. They were Rudy's Romps, which used to be titled The Girl Next Door, and Space Relations, which used to be SCS Space Relations. This happened a couple of years ago, I send at least a dozen messages to admin people, but the glitch was never fixed.

Fast forward to the last couple of weeks. I asked for the series Lovers From Beyond to be taken down so I could mix in new stories in chronological sequence, and the admin people did that fine. Then I asked for them to remove the duplicate Rudy's Romp series, and they have not done it. I left a link to my stories page, and my email in case they needed to ask me anything.

Last Friday, I checked my stories, and another series showed up as a duplicate. This was Ralph And Maven. I haven't touched this series in a while, so why did this happen?

Today, I checked my stories, and guess what? Almost every single one of my series is showing up twice. What are the chances of that? If this glitch is happening to other authors, let me know so I can STFU. If this is only happening to me, I have to presume that some Karen is out to get me, and duplicating my series is this person's way of pressuring me. Does this have anything to do with my haters from the Cucking Wives category?

Check my profile / story page to see the duplicates. They were there as of 6 PM PT on July 27.

Duplicating my stories... pretty puerile if you ask me. That's what I have to work with, folks. I just posted Lovers From Beyond Ep. 5, so you should be seeing that pretty soon... I hope!

I'm out.

The duplicate story thing is a glitch, its not harassment or anything personal, its happened before, was fixed, now its happening again and to a lot of people.

Its no big deal.

Lit is a big site and in parts of it seems held together with duct tape and bubble gum. To fix everything they'd probably need to shut down a bit and that would cause apoplexy among readers and authors, so they fix one thing at a time...then when something is fixed something else breaks.

Its like a money pit house, but we're not paying anything so it is what it is.

You are young in the ways of the AH, any remark about the site will immediately call out the bootlick brigade.

But I was thinking what the OP could do is create some alts and then post here to say how amazing his posts are. They do that in the GB all the time.

Heard some authors do it.

I've let lots of negative comments about the site and the administrators pass without comment, or with a measured response.
But it seemed to me that responding in kind to a several paragraph rant about how the only possible explanation for the glitch is that the site administrators were deliberately fucking with the OP was the right play. And yes, I chose the phrase "shutting the fuck up now" because that's what Corvus requested in his rant.

BTW - KeithD gave a measured and reasonable response. EoN mostly likely was referring to my response.

Yeah, I frequently forget to genuflect. I have a back condition, you see. It's a congenital spine. I also lack the stomach for it - another lifelong condition.

Anyone who uses alts on the GB to praise themselves is compounding vanity with futility. I mean, are they running for class president or something? And how many people in GB pay attention to anything but their own posts?

You mean to Corvus? All I'm saying is kept his rant here. It didn't seem like that big a deal to me, and infinitely preferable to someone who rants all over every thread. I wasn't saying anything about anyone's language. I'm not the hall monitor.

 

[KeithD]

I understand there are some authors here doing the bait and switch thing too--having early chapters up on Literotica and telling you in their bios that you have to go pay for the rest of the story if you want to read it. I thought that was verboten, though. But I see at least one author here doing that.

This Site has its share of Tracy Flicks and Jim McAllisters.

I'm sorry, not sure what your response to my post means. I was responding to EON's response.

You implied that anyone who responds to negative/psranoid comments about the site are "part of the bootlick brigade." And you made allusion to habits you've frequently asserted KeithD has, of which you clearly disapprove.

My response was intended to clarify that EoN's comment about "a beheading" applied more clearly to the language I used than anything Keith wrote. And to push back against the idea that pointing out a glitch is not actually evidence of nefarious intent constitutes "bootlicking".

Yes the OP is wrong in thinking a glitch is personal and I pointed that out without using my best nasally high pitched teacher's pet voice.

But its funny how people who have never visited this thread suddenly show up when someone thinks the site is doing something nefarious.

the same people who come running and screeching about underage when they all know its all over this site, just like rape and everything else the site says it against the rules.

The brown nosing gets old after a few years, especially when they know what the real truth is.

As for Keith? I mentioned knowing of authors who have done it over the years, as in plural. The fact its assumed he's the only one I'm talking about just goes to show its well known. I'm not the only one who has pointed it out.



If you don't do it, no one can talk about it.

That and you've been stalking me for, now, eleven years (two cases of it erased by the Mods within the last week) and are just oozing with sick innuendo.

If it's well known, it's because of your PMd hate campaign going on in the background. You recently posted of having been abused as a child and having been an abuser yourself afterward. Guess what. You're still an abuser.

But I'll repeat what have noted over the decade--I was here before you got here and I'll be here after the next round of you leaving for a bit. Until then you'll probably just continue with the personal attacks and innuendo because . . . well, because you're a sick abuser. I suppose you also could be homophobic. It would go with your behavior. Or maybe you're just overly competitive even when your target isn't competing with you. That's certainly where your attacking started now eleven years ago.

What's amusing is that you attack me for asserting publishing knowledge here and pointing to the number of stories I have posted--when, in fact, no one blows their own horn here like you do. There have been multiple examples (you're going to be a movie star on your own written script by cracky ) of that in the last week.

 

[Voboy]

Wow.

Sorry, OP.

 

[TxRad]

Wow.

Sorry, OP.

Nothing new, it has been going on for ten years.

Lol. I thought this one went to eleven?

I don't think it's weird or out of line for people who don't typically comment on a "vanity thread" to then respond when the OP actually asks a question. I've visited this thread several times, but not left comments because I didn't find it interesting. And if Corvus had written a post that just said "hey, this weird thing is happening, does anyone know what's going on?" I either would have simply seconded what Keith wrote, or not responded, since Keith answered that question.

It's precisely BECAUSE Corvus wrote a post that was so paranoid and, frankly, arrogant, that I poked back as hard as I did. Which, honestly, wasn't that hard. So I was a little bemused when EoN referred to a "beheading".

 

[KeithD]

Lol. I thought this one went to eleven?

Yes, eleven years as of this month. (I previously posted as sr71plt, with my accounts directly linked. I switched accounts when sr71plt reached 1,000 story entries because that list was getting too unwieldy to handle. I have been around since 2006. Lovecraft68 has been here eleven years this month. He almost immediately started stalking me then when I suggested he'd gotten taken by reporting that he paid $100 for a cover design. He obviously doesn't like to seem to have been taken. The stalking has just continued from then. It's stepping up now because one of the exchanges the Mods erased was him being trapped into revealing that he stalks my story account and leaves anonymous comments--caught because he got after me for deleting them. On 1,200 entries worth of stories, only the one who left the comment and is checking what happened to it is likely to know it was deleted--or ever existed.)

I didn't mean to start something, and "beheading" wasn't meant to be inflammatory. All I was saying was that I thought it was a bit of an overreaction, and I didn't mean your post alone. I thought you were a little harsh, but there was sort of a pile-on effect that is generally reserved to discourage bad behavior.

I just didn't think OP's behavior was all that bad. The post was, as I acknowledged, paranoid and over the top. I didn't get whey the response wasn't more along the lines of something like, "You're being paranoid. This is happening to everyone."

Part of the reason I don't find it all that offensive is because it's here on his own vanity thread. The thread is here for public consumption, of course, but it feels different to me for him to be expressing his feelings, no matter how paranoid they might be, in his own thread than starting a new thread or hijacking an existing thread, both of which would be intended to provoke a reaction and garner a response.

I also saw the OP's acknowledgement that he could be wrong and invitation to just tell him to STFU as a mitigation to the tone of the post. I was surprised someone didn't just say something like "STFU. It's happening to everyone." Perhaps followed by a suggestion that the OP might have at least looked at someone else's stories page before jumping to his conclusions. The response seemed to go further than that.

Whew... so that's the full explanation of why I thought what I did and said what I said. It wasn't some sort of backhanded attack on you or anyone else. It was just saying, "hey, isn't this an overreaction?"

I hope that resolves whatever issues my "beheading" comment created.

Corvus, I apologize for getting your thread off track with my "beheading" comment. It wasn't my intent. At least now you know people read your thread! It's probably not entirely a bad thing to get called on paranoid suggestions that people are out to get you, right? I'm sure you'd rather not think that, and as it turns out, you didn't have to.

 

[ChloeTzang]

Well, Corvus got more comments on this thread than there’s been in years, but it does kind of derail it and imho the jumping on him was a bit uncalled for. As someone else pointed out, he’s not all over every thread. This is his vanity thread and why not? Have a coffee, relax, chill, be nice in the sandbox, kids. Lol

And don’t sweat the Literotica glitches, Corvus. It ain’t just you experiences them.

Hi EoN- I didn't take "beheading" to be inflammatory, just its own kind of overreaction... I said to Lovecraft that part of my reaction stemmed from this being the third or fourth similar thread, between the AH and the Story Feedback forum, in which an OP takes so something personally and assumes calculated and nefarious intent. I only commented on one of those, and in a somewhat more measured way.

So, Corvus - you caught me on a bad day, and I sure hope my comment doesn't dissuade you from posting whatever you want in the future. Please feel free to clap back if you see me writing something you think is over the top.
