I was recently contacted about doing an author interview for
jim_and_bones. My name was suggested by members (or so I was told), and presumably those members peek at my journal every once in a while. I figured it'd be polite to let them know what's up. This was my response:
[name redacted], mods, and whomever else it may concern:
Thank you for letting me see the questions and giving me time to consider my answer. I have decided to decline. I am hesitant to join large groups, and sympathetic to others who feel the same way. It is important to me, personally, to keep my journal and fanworks lurker-friendly. For those reasons I am unwilling to generate content for a locked comm.
Thank you for your consideration, and I wish you luck in finding another author to interview.

Thank you, whoever suggested me. It was very flattering to hear that I have some interested readers, even though I seldom write your pairing of choice. I'm sorry if you were looking forward to that interview. If you're curious about some aspect of my work or process, feel free to drop me a line! PM, comment on fic, whatever you want. Even anonymous comments are totally fine.
