open letter to anyone posting fic:

[lyssie]

Exclamation points do NOT make us want to read your story more.

Telling us you are posting FIC!!!!! does, in fact, make us NOT want to read it.

Please stop the abuse of exclamation points.

Yours truly,
ALC Punk!

(I am allowed to get away with one !. dammit)

....:runs to see if she's done this, eeeep!:

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

er... as far as I know, no?

But if you do it, you're allowed. Partially because I like you, and partially because, y'know, your fic is actually good.

Also? Could you please remove the sappy part of my brain? It wants to do scary sappy things right now.

:is chastised all the same, eek!:

:is full of glee, tho, due to praise!, bounce!:

Sappy is okay in moderation, though.:) If "sappy things" means fic fluff, then...um...Not removing it. ;)

You make my headache worse.

How about if I write 'eleventy' and a bunch of 1111's instead of exclamation points?

;)

*whaps*

[surreallis.livejournal.com]

LOL

*deserved that*

*will be more mindful of over-exclamating*

*g*

[skellingtonjon.livejournal.com]

But what if it's more of a warning than an exclamation?

As in "FURLINGS!!! RUN!!!"

;)

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

well... that might be exceptable.

Especially if it's "Furlings are cat people!!!!!"

!!!!!

Once I get off my ass and write, people will be wishing they were cat-people...

*evil cackling*
