You know, you'd think that while I'm busy distracting myself by compulsively reloading my flist, Twitter, and a couple other sites, my story would be kind enough to edit itself.

Apparently not.

Yeah, stories are little shits like that. Personally, I think they do it on purpose.

I have also noticed that the pile of mail on the kitchen table isn't sorting and recycling itself while I'm doing more important things, like playing Bejeweled. IT'S A CONSPIRACY, I TELL YOU.

HOW RUDE.

ETA: Wait, Twitter? I thought you had an aversion to other forms of social networking.

I conceded defeat with Twitter and now have an account, though I keep it locked. Facebook, however, is never, ever happening.

I'm actually quite fond of Facebook, which serves its own purpose. I haven't taken the Twitter plunge, and I really have an unnatural aversion to it.

Twitter turns out to be handy for getting quick updates from friends or the David Tennant newsfeeds because I have no shame.

Heh. Most of my friends are on Facebook rather than Twitter and I already have the RSS feed for david-tennant.com.

It's amazing how uncooperative that fiction can be.

I have both FB and Twitter. I pretty much ignore both, but I'm more apt to get on FB since my Daughter is on it.

Facebook freaks me the hell out because its goal is to make connections, and the last thing I want is obvious connections between my fandom pursuits and my real-world ones.

*nods* I don't mind my fan friends knowing about my real life (altho some of it is totes boring) but FB has a bunch of RL friends and relatives, including IL cousins, people I knew in high school, and my mum ferthaluvapete, and I have to be careful what I say there.

I keep the two separate. Facebook is for friends and family, almost exclusively. Fandom stuff is all here.

Well, depends.

What if you were attempting to write some nice porn and the story wanted to be a religious tract instead? And every time you would take a bathroom break, you would return to find your heroes having didactic religious discussions during odd moments of action?

PS: did I ever send you a David Tennant postcard (via Columbina) or was it something I thought about, but never actually did? It makes me all jittery not to be able to remember.

Under the right circumstances, that could turn out interesting!

And yes, you did send me the Tennant postcard -- thank you! I was very surprised to see that they must have been turning up in postcard racks, because I thought they were only sold via the RSC.
