       Yessir, Gubby.

This was entirely uncalled for. And here I was being a nice guy and
restraining myself for once.

But if you insist on doing this the hard way, so be it.

Waiting...waiting...damn. Someone's posted something huge.

   I was asking that there be more demand because the damn thing is HUGE.

I fail to see the connection.

I fail to see the connection. I'm getting a sense of deja vu, though.

Delete, delete, delete, delete, delete...okay, that takes care of that
part. Killfile Kaoru L. Shimitsu...okay, much better. Won't have to worry
about that anymore.

   I posted it because people told me to shut up and post it if I was

going

to, instead of asking that people show more initiative and tell me that

they

REALLY wanted it to be posted.

And this doesn't indicate to you that maybe a lot of people thought you
were coming off as being a bit egotistical?

Same goes for people who like to post a mass deluge of their old fics, or
who have returned to work on an old fic and decide to repost the entire
thing. If it's big, and you plan to break it up into a lot of little
pieces, DON'T flood the list with the whole load at one time.

(Oh, and before people start flaming me...I didn't *really* killfile this
guy. I'll be tempted if he does it again, though...)

   With all due respect (Repeated: With all do respect), I have noticed,
ELL, that your opinions are often unduly harsh and very snide.  I am sure
there's a nicer person underneath your words, but I'm lookin'.

I'm sorry, I was being snide in my original post in this matter in what
way? All I was attempting to do is point something out about author conduct
and how a large fic should be posted.

As for being harsh...quite frankly, you deserved much worse than you got.
But I'm trying to restrain myself.

   I will apologize to you personally for the size of the fic, but some
people told me to post it and not to "DEMAND" more posts that wanted the
fic.  (Let me put it this way, it is bad economics to market something

very

cumbersome to time, effort, money, or whatnot and not have a demand for

it.

Economics has nothing to do with fanfiction. Nobody is obligated to read
your tripe. Nobody is obligated to inform you that they WANT to read your
tripe.

It's bad marketing, and bad management, hence my "DEMAND" of people to

tell

me they "WANT" the fic was not to "SATIATE" my ego, it was to make sure
there were people on the list.. and ENOUGH people.. to post the story.)

Pardon me, but...bullshit.

   One more time.  That's an apology for the size of the fic, and an
apology for posting it all at once.  I am very unexperienced in posting
things to the list (Messages, I have more experience with.  Fics I do

not.)

You got that right.

   To make you feel better, ELL, it will be at least a month before you

see

another one of my trash-clogging fanfics.  Should make ya feel better.

Oh, I am absolutely giddy. It is more than I can take. I may pass out.
