I am totally fine not being on Tumblr. And being kind of irritated by it, while not wishing anyone else to feel obligated to be irritated by it.
Giles: I'm sure we're all perfectly safe. Dawn: We're safe. Right. And Spike built a robot Buffy to play checkers with. Tara: It sounded convincing when I thought it.

I am on tumblr and I don't get it. I never tumbl anything. But it seems to have the best pictures of pugs and French Bulldogs.

Because books.
I love Tumblr because it's mostly just pretty, pretty pictures, which is nice way to spend a few minutes hours. But I do get irritated by seeing the same picture seventeen times, and the tags are a little ridiculous. And everyone seems to be twelve or something.
Oops.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
(And now feeling super-paranoid that I've peed in cheerios or stomped on beautiful cakes or somesuch. Yargh.)
Oh, my relationship with it is very much Love/Hate. So, y'know, I'm first in line at the urinal.

Tumblr is where all the goth eye candy is, so that's why I'm there. The fandom stuff is just icing

Dana is me. (While not actually being me, since I think we have established that I am not her sockpuppet.)

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I hate to see writers write to the readership, because the readership is notoriously fickle. It leads you off into answering the feedback instead of following the story's own logic.
While I logically agree, I have a story (it's mine mine mine kinda mine) that ended up being exactly that because of two peoples' feedback and it's (for me) the happiest story ever. I reread it all of the time.
The author probably didn't follow the story exactly but she made two people insanely happy. She wrote our story, perhaps not the original story. Then again, I don't think she was writing for other feedback or recs by the end. So if you're writing to be true to a story's vision, no. But if you are writing to make certain people happy and don't as much about who else reads it, it's not the worst.
Which is entirely not the point when we're talking about feedback and recs and how to get more people reading and appreciating your work.
WHAT. Oh good grief, how ridiculous can you get?
It's the internet. Do you really want to ask that question?

That was totally a hint, wasn't it?
