Hello.
As surely most of you guys know, I'm a fanfiction writer, who occassionaly makes a montage, compiles a video, draws a fanart and scans a doujinshi.
Of course, when I get a nice comment, that appreciates the effort and work, it makes me happy and I admit, taht I love recieving your feedback. It keeps me going. I am grateful for that.
What I like less is spam.
Especially spam of the type that contains a link (commercial) and nothing else, and is submitted into a fanfiction post.
Please. And with this please I'm turning not to my friends list, who have been nothing but supportive and wonderfull to me, but visitors of my journal generally. Especially to those visitors, that do nothing else but posting links where comments to fanfictions should be.
Please.
DON'T SPAM!!!
I have anonymous commenting turned on, because many of my readers don't have a livejournal account and I don't want them to feel like they have to sign up, to get through to me. The comment link under a post is there to recieve a comment to the post, which is exactly what it says: A comment. Your personal opinion to what is written in the post. I'm sur emost of you understand this. However, i'm sad to note, that not everyone sees it like this.
If you want to send me a link, send it in a PM and at least take that one minute to write an intro and an outro (in other words a greeting, a five word sentence what you want me to do with this link, and your signature).
I WILL DELETE MESSAGES THAT CONTAIN A SINGLE LINK RIGHT AWAY.
Oh and I've been getting Russian comments. Written in cyrilic. Well. I don't mind it, if it's a comment to the fanfic (and I know enough cyrilic and russian to distinguish it.) However, don't expect a reply. And don't expect me to understand it all. And don't expect me to reply - not in russian, in english, or any other language.
I have also gotten comments in russian that said "it's horrible" (as I said, i know enough russian to get the difference between "it's horrible" and "it's good"). I deleted those too. If you have something to criticise, do it constructively.
Now you may ask, what is the sense of this post?
Well, I'm not sure myself. I think I just wanted to tell you why I was deleting your links (and yes, they got posted twice). Maybe I have gotten frustrated with it and just needed to talk myself (to my friends) out. And maybe I just had nothing else to write about.
You may say whatever you want.
(Just don't spam.)
