Whoa...this isn't weird at all! No...I just feel like I showed up to a party in my birthday suit LOL. Not only was I unaware, but one of my stories is on the list AND you guys are talking about it?! Awkwaaaaaard lol. :blush:
Seriously...what an honor! I'm so glad people are reading it and enjoying it when it's not even in production right now! I CANNOT wait to get back to writing this! The excitement around this right now is tugging at my heart strings. All the more reasons to finish the legacy quickly, right?
I see I have some reading to do!
Jes, first of all, I'm so sorry for causing feelings of awkwardness! It never even occurred to me that the writers would feel that way. I thought it would feel like a treat.
So, how does this sound for etiquette? I will check with those whose work has been suggested by sending them a PM, and then if they object or have reservations, we can remove them from the list. If we don't hear from them, I think we can leave their work on the list--because putting your work out there sort of gives people permission to read it and talk about it!
But it is a courtesy to let writers know we'll be doing so, so thank you so much for bringing this up, Jes.
And... on a personal note... please don't finish your legacy quickly! I want it to last forever! :)
Oh no no, please don't take what I said the wrong way! I'm just weird lol. It WAS a treat to walk in on this party lol. I guess I'm still not totally used to people raving over what I do. I probably never will get over it lol. I think that's a good thing. But...it's your thread...do what you think is right. I don't think you would need to get permission from an author to discuss how much you love their work. It doesn't work that way in real life book clubs...not that I know anything about real life book clubs LOL. Carry on!
OH...and...the legacy cannot and will not last forever! I say that in both sadness and joy at the same time lol. Oy...I feel a dissertation coming on. To the lounge! LOL
