You do tend to find that readers think of the characters as 'theirs' - because one has developed differently for each person that reads the book. We all see things differently!

Pretty sure that, as the author is their origins, s/he gets the call on that one ;)

Ummm... surely scratching too deep reveals, well, swamp?

Thank you for your hospitality and expertise - had an amazing week!

Had a great time thank you - only the second time in my life I've been Stateside and was quite an experience!

Yeah, I know, I know - caught between the pro marketeer on one side who understands this 'common denominator' shit all to well and the ranting individual on the other.

One of those dichotomies which doesn't have a solution. Whoever works out how to bridge that gap...

Thank you for the repost!

You're right, though, it is funny...

Dammit!! I need to change my status to 'married' immediately - that sounds like a lot more fun... and a lot less complicated!

Seriously, though, I know it's not personal - it's the endless forced categorisation that annoys the fucking ARSE off me.

I am not a number...

Crikey. Then I may stay clear of such beasties and return to the idea of... going out and meeting people. Wowzer.

I didn't post the relationship change to my wall because neither Devin nor I wanted to deal with the deluge that would result. Some things are just best left to filter out in their own time.

And - go for it! - change your status and see the fun that will erupt. Only, for Gods' sakes, check with Sharon first. Have you seen the Zuckerberg movie..?!

Oh crikey. I get those credit ads, M'ina, does that means I'm doomed? o_O

Thank you! And yes, it's a motto that can be hard, sometimes, but worth it in the end :)

I'm glad you approve, pedant or no! Seriously, if you want to be deluged in proof-reading, I'll drop you an email... ;)

Never a truer word!! (And now I have to know what your name is...!)

Re: 'Blue Bum': What's in a Nickname?

Danacea — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 13:59:56 -0000

Consistency is critical - so many sites, so many profiles, so much to keep track of!

Badgergravling is distinctive - kind of the point, I think :)

Yes!! I tried to take a picture of it, but it's been so loved down through 20 (cough!) years that it doesn;t come through.

Top present though - thank you!! And sorry you weren't there this weekend. You were missed x!

Don't get my started on spell-checkers and the dumbing down of language. Grrrrr...
