A question

[mary_j_59]

I've noticed that some of my posts get no response at all, while others get lots of comments. To give two examples, NOBODY responded to my post about Green Knowe. And those books are, in my opinion, really beautiful - possibly among the best fantasies ever written, and I'd be happy to talk about them. No one responded to the clip of Michelle Paver and the wolves. And that, too, is a very well-written series, in which the teen protagonists grow in believable ways. I had one response to the news that Megan Whalen Turner's fourth Attolia book is actually coming out. Then I put up a post about how unhappy I am with Harry Potter these days, and suddenly there's an intense discussion about Snape and his character going on. Okay, it's true, I love Snape. But at this point, two years after the last book, no one's mind is going to be changed about him. At least, I don't think so.

Is it the case that people visit here only for my posts on Snape? Just wondering.

Yes, YOU! And what you say is true. Added to which, I do understand there's a time factor involved. Sometimes you (=one) just don't have time to comment, or even read - and heaven knows, you've been busy lately!

I was looking at my posting/commenting habits, and there's basically a month where I wasn't on lj in a meaningful way at all. During this month you apparently got published and I didn't congratulate you! So, a belated congratulations is in order.

Thanks! Of course, this is the story that was accepted a year ago, and you did comment then - and were also one of my beta readers. So no need to worry about not commenting this time. I was just so thrilled when I saw the illustration. )

Anyway - I'm going to do a follow-up, multimedia post about the books I mentioned.

See you! and keep up the good work; I can see you are heavily invested in Arthur, etc, right now.
