Lure out a lurker ;)

I've been thinking about this for a while, and I want to do an experiment

Ooooh, good idea, mayhaps I'll steal it. I've been perusing Google Analytics and noticed there are folks who check my journal almost every day, and yet I don't know who they are! That makes me sad, because I like new friends.

[upupa_epops]

Yes, yes, steal it!

I'm not sure if anyone will show up in this post, but I so hope someone does! I am forever curious :D.

Am I considered a lurker? Or am I a regular commenter who reads but has been too busy to comment?

[upupa_epops]

Nah, you don't count ;). But your icon is insanely pretty!

Well, here I am, coming out of my Lurkerdom Closet. Hi!

In my defense I discoverd your lj quite recently, after getting more heavily interested in The Vampire Diaries and jumping from lj to lj (mainly by way of friends pages) in search for reviews and meta. Btw, yours is outstanding.

I admit that sometimes I limit myself to lurking without commenting because I don't exactly know what to say: I have trouble finding a happy medium between one or two lines and a multiple points ramble.

Hi! *waves ferociously*

Hey, no need to defend yourself ;). I have nothing against lurking, some people just don't enjoy interacting in fandom, or have many other reasons not to comment. As I said, I don't want to guilt-trip people or anything. This post was born out of pure curiosity.

I'm glad you enjoyed the meta :).

I don't think people would mind one-line comments. Or multiple points rambles. Whatever you feel like doing :).

Hi :) I'm a lurker! New to LJ so not quite sure about everything but I'm a huge fan of your stories!

[upupa_epops]

Thank you! :)

Hello! You heard from me before, but I thought I'd comment here again :D I devoured all your fics so fast I couldn't even pause to leave a comment on one because I was so addicted and just HAD to get on to the next one! Every time, I kept thinking: "On the next one, I'll leave a comment on the next one, telling this girl how amazingly she writes"... It wasn't till I got to the last one you published that I could take a breather, recover my scattered wits, gather my almost-non-existant words and leave you a review. From now on, I promise, this lurker will be a lurky lurker of lurkdom no more! I think you are completely one of the BEST writers of on LJ, please never stop posting! I'm so looking forward to your continuation of the amazing tent scene! :P

[upupa_epops]

Whoa, that's amazing! I really appreciate you telling me all this, you gave me a huge ego boost just now :D.

Don't feel bad about not reviewing. I'm a professional lurker myself, so I fully understand ;). That said, really loved your last comment!
