Hey. I'm pretty new to forums and anything like them, so I'm hoping for some friends. ^^ Anyone with any advice that stems beyond that which can be found within the helpful posts from the admins would be awesome. Thanks to anyone in advanced who posts.

"...well, a lot depends on what you really want to get out of your posting here..." started the goblin, welcoming the new member to the forum, continuing "...simply, I would start out as a normal poster making friends and chatting for a couple years, and then, if and when you feel you have done some posts that are worth keeping amongst them, I would start to store them away somewhere, as that makes this posting all the more meaningful doesn't it, after which, you'll need to repost those stored posts elsewhere too if only to air/edit/backup them, and finally you might wish to add pictures to your post as that is how one gets good at illustrating...", in fact, the goblin had really appreciated the poster's question now, but then remembered that no one was forced to take their own posting seriously now, but the goblin saw his own posting as a journey to self here, and what a wondrous adventure it was all turning out to be

repost from elsewhere, a tiff with a writer

"...perhaps we had better get some things straight here..." said the goblin, not discouragingly though, but just continuing "...your publishing world is in such turmoil where market share is decreasing daily, in that, for every new book reader, hundreds more readers are simply showing up on social networks, which is good because the publisher will have follow those readers here, they have to come, no not this forum but to these forums, not if they don't want another publisher to be beat them to the prize..." adding "...besides, this year some famous authors have simply dropped their publishers altogether for selling directly in ebook form through amazon, quite understandable since amazon sold more kendell ebook readers than physical books last year, so authors will now be in control working directly for the ebook market...", just that the goblin saw this as some new bandwagon between publishers authors and social networks, concluding "...so where does forumland moreover these writer's forums fit in here, do you not think that authors/publishers/readers alike will not be on the lookout for a persona with a high hitcount with a constant output too, in short, simply here becomes everyone's showroom today, no longer merely that writer's workshop for would be writers, simply you're bang smack in front of your market, meaning my advice is to simply ask yourself if and how you fit in this showroom window idea, and if not, how you can adjust to it too...", all of which surprisingly meant absolutely nothing to the goblin himself, if simply because he wished to remain anonymous throughout and was really quite happy with his present day readership anyway, saying "...and o how I hate long posts, so sorry about this one then..."

"...I couldn't help but be touched now by someone else's post today..."explained the goblin recalling that during her looking out for pictures now, she had come across this one picture that had brought back memories to her then, her losing the baby in the first week that is, those many years ago now, her little name, and how ole she would be now too, etc., so the goblin had quickly PMed her writing "somehow an illustrator's eye is a double edged sword it seems, but isn't it better to be sensitive than insensitive to pictures", in fact, she was probably the best picture-finder the goblin knew of since only a true illustrator can see meaning behind pictures where most people would just like or dislike them

repost from elsewhere, someone who felt she couldn't continue livewriting

"...if this writing lark is no longer for you, then just that a clean break and stop without restarting, where if then you actually manage to stop you'll know that a life without writing is what you want for yourself, but don't then blame others afterwards, nor those externals neither, for your own choice of stopping..." suggested the goblin knowing that honesty came first, continuing "...for perhaps that alone, one's self decision here, is all that is important, where if writing is for you, then continue this journey, whereas if you are just doing it for others around you now, or just for those externals such as fame or fortune, best stop then, because one shouldn't be writing for those reasons anyway, that's a deception that so imprisons you with your writing through the fakeness of it all, whereas if you do continue, then the next thing you write must be absolutely you to yourself again, thus if you then write it, that alone will be like a proclamation of yourself now within whichever words you choose as the livewriter you are still, where I will help you in any way I can, for haven't I accompanied this far, but that choice together with this journey is ever yours alone and must remain so..."

the goblin thanked the poster, and agreed that his life at this point was very forumland orientated where his dailylife in comparison just seemed mercifully uneventful now, saying "...yes I do like those things that this dailylife offers, but nothing really gets my mind going quite like all those responses across from those many forums I am on, where either I am helping someone enter into to this livewriting world, or replying about some current topic like now, or just fending off those trolls again, where each of which engages me at a depth that my dailylife, for all it's necessity even, simply doesn't...", while outside, it was raining and the captain had commanded her minion to fetch groceries again, plus the bedroom needs cleaning too, plus the goblin's coffeecup was empty now, but fortunately there was that postholics anonymous meeting tonight, online of course, where raving craving addicted posters could relate their ever losing battle to their postalotism with texts and underlying matching pictures again, adding "...I guess I live life to be able to reflect upon it, I mean not much point of having one without the other is there..."

repost from elsewhere, a writer's site

Hey, it's insanity I'm hoping for.

"...music to my ears human..." went the goblin who loved borderline sanity at least, saying "...naah, sanity is so predictable then, where writers should never be trapped by it neither, after all, those readers know it's fiction and will follow the storyline if it is good enough...", in fact, by looks of things they didn't think like that at all, they would always ask for something that made sense, but the goblin had long learned, that what they thought they wanted, and what those readers actually wanted, were two quite different things, explaining "...actually, they want to be surprised by what they reads, and who I wonder is ever surprised by anything that they themselves predict, hence the notion of boarderline sanity here, which is the very nature of fiction I guess..."

I like your thread goblin

"...nah, this isn't my thread either, it's just an edit thread here, anyone can post to it..." replied the goblin who wanted to openly share this thread then, saying "...the trouble with me is that there are two of us, one me who writes directly between brackets where things generally fall foul to those slings and arrows of outrageous dyslexia, and then there's that other me, who reposts stuff that has been clearly ironed out with some matching picture added, basically the publishing me, against the posting me perhaps, where both mes have their merits/demerits then...", simply, the goblin, in his madness, actually believed that it was a journey to self here, and yes, it was true that the goblin had seen through his dailylife facade for the rat-race it actually was, and yet instead of "stopping to smell the flowers on the way" the goblin was writing about those same flowers then, as if the rat-race here had been replaced by the rat's very own "freestyle composition with matching picture in less that 50 words please" benchmark instead, yet either way then, the rat in question just scurried on seeming totally unable to stop itself

nah leave the thread here then

the goblin agreed, in that, if this thread were actually a game, then alas, most threads on this forum would have to be moved in the games section too, "...no, with this thread you trolls actually get the chance to be imaginative and to intellectualize within your posts now..." ventured the goblin who had suspected that under that thin veneer of thick skinned troll lurked a hidden active mind fraught with much latent intellect, such that only that an imaginative intellectual thread like this one could possibly divulge , so the goblin explained "...yes thats right, simply you need to prove to yourselves your total inability that is, that way all those nasty writing aspirations will disappear completely, and you will be happy being your poor troll selves once more, indeed, anything to help you trolls get the most out of your posting, the very least I could do given the circumstances..."

"...ah no, the writing bit is the easy part..." said the goblin, welcoming the poster here, continuing "...though others may try to complicate it with silly categorizations, thus expected norms and other such nonsenses, so much so that one finally reaches a point where one tosses that all to one side and starts asking oneself "just what in my life is worth posting then" and then one is writing from that standpoint alone, and remember too, that all this only has to please one person, the one who has to live with what one has written, well that would be you in this case...", but on a more practical note, the goblin just advised xxxxx to take a trickle then, saying "...so many posters start with grandiose ideas about livewriting only to then fizzle out, probably because they were either trying either to please their mentors or their readers, or because they were writing for externals like fame and fortune, all of which are simply quite unsustainable in the long run, why, because if something isn't really you then it is not you at all, so keep it as yourself and keep it as a sustainable trickle where this journey could be a long one indeed..."

the goblin quickly confessed to their being reposts, explaining "...a livewriter writes a post like a normal poster does, but then he stores it after that first posting, knowing that each time he reposts it he will edit it slightly...", something a bit like van goth's sunflowers where he did eight portraits of them, saying "...the writing in third person is merely an indulgence on my part, simply a need perhaps, both to know what obstacles writers face when writing, and a wish to become fluent enough to counterbalance the onset of that old age later, and the matching picture is more or less that same type of indulgence again...", no, the goblin felt that the livewriter was just a pokemon upgrade of a normal poster, where, apart from this obvious storing and reposting of posts then, together with the constant trickle of output too, and that of having a recognizable persona, there was no difference between him and anyone else here

Heading to Conneaut, OH this morning for an Amateur Radio Hamfest. Also, thanking God for the IGNORE feature on this forum so I don't have to see the insane posts of a madman at 0700 on a Sunday. Life is good.

"...naah, not knowing only nags one to know all the more doesn't it..." replied the goblin who to date had never put anyone on ignore list probably for that reason then, whereupon the goblin just added "...if someone's posts show no malice, moreover, if that person is posting upon the topic of "what one is doing today" as requested, only to then be called mad because it doesn't comply to someone else's posting standard, and how many times by now, and informed repeatedly about their using an ignore button too, well then, doesn't that just tell one more about the person doing to action there than about the indifferent goblin receiving that action there...", though by now christmas was not far off, so the goblin's wager would fail and things would be as before, venturing "...isn't it just that most things people don't understand they excuse as a madness then where I guess I'd rather be thought of as mad by them, and be placed upon their ignore list too if they so wish, for without insanity there is just stark sanity, like a book whose ending one is always the same then, written in the most unimaginative way to say the least..." whereupon the goblin, to keep on topic here, simply related that today he had conversing with posters on the internet in a bistro to a coffee once more, yes just a little bit of happiness to while away those hours

"...ah now, whenever one heckles someone else, one then has to keep up one's guard as if forced to read through their replies back, whereupon, this forum becomes distracted and loses momentum through posters uneasy to post"content" for fear of being heckle yet again..." mentioned the goblin not bothered by it though, continuing "...so perhaps then, that's why then I don't attack you back so that I won't need to keep note here, and where too, between us now, the one who is posting the content, and the one who is holding onto my shirttails, does seem rather evident then...", in fact, it almost seemed like the more someone heckled someone else the more it looked like they had nothing to offer in there own right

If xxxxx doesn't stop dodging his training there just may be an opening for a new MOD after two weeks of waiting for him to make up his mind.

"...nah, I couldn't cut as a mod really..." replied the goblin, explaining "...for I'd probably take many analytical notes instead, thinking it to be of more therapeutic value to have the trolls discuss their inner conflict upon forumland in little self help groups now..." in fact, the goblin appreciated what a terrible shock it must have been for any normal person to wake up to the realization that somewhere inside they had been a troll all along, something that no doubt they would then have to hide from wife, family, and friends alike

repost from elsewhere, the "what does it take to be a writer" thread, and how to get banned from a writer's forum too

One must, however, understand the importance of proper punctuation of grammar, as the sole presence of a vocabularic mind or thesaurus will bring a writer nowhere. One may be a potential writer, but that one cannot become a fine writer if their writing lacks the charm of storytelling. It is difficult for a reader to comprehend when the words are welded together as a dictation or rant, with no apparent end to the madness. There strikes a fine line between continuous run-on speech and separation of thought. It is of improper style for an author to shove verbs that supposedly describes the verbal actions of the speaker in midst of their soliloquy. It is unnecessary to announce the speaker has recently "added" or "mentioned" or "noted", a sin especially amplified by the repetition of such unique words in such paragraphical proximity. The aforementioned is a common mistakes budding novella-type writers will make, often if they had not read a book that displays the correct usage of words. It hurts the eye of an experienced writer.

"...well yes, I guess writing correctly is how most people start out upon forumland, but then they wise up as reality strikes home and one quickly sees how people won't read those posts for their longish all well written well intended same old blandness, especially where they were then tucked away in some well meaning blog too..." replied the goblin who continued "...so instead of me fooling myself by some blind adherence to some dunce mantra of good for books means good for posts too, something to date that had utterly failed me, I decided to try out various writing styles till finally I settled upon this one, one which had an added bonus of hiding my age too, where now my posts are actually read, why so, well probably because I am not mistaken for the old fart I actually am, nor for some unapproachable finicky hair-splitting grammern*zi...", in fact, what the goblin was livewriting now, he followed those very same rejected novella-type writers whose style seemed both questionable and imaginative, for theirs was the readership after all, perhaps even moreso for their non adherence to those disappointing bookwriting rules, adding "...look, care to link me to a thread that has a high hitcount equating to readership written in the correct way you're suggesting, stuff written in ever so correctly worded posts complete with full paragraphs and full stops, etc, but till you can't link me, you'll have excuse me just doing posts my own way for the results you so evidently see..."

I think Fleabag is a secret ****. He probably works for one of them Swiss banks that has sacks and sacks of gold jewish teeth in their vaults

"...no no no, we were only acting on orders..." protested the goblin, explaining "...most people were merely complicit in their acceptance then, where their government was actually guilty of hedging its bets here, that is since switzerland has always been on the side of the perceived winner, so it played germany's tune till that tune was taken over by the allies's one..." , in fact, it was rather odd that whole battalions on retreating german troops form northern italy could suddenly turn up in austria, field pieces and all, where a certain country, nameless of course, seems to be geographically between those two countries then

[footnote: The Bergier Report criticizes two decisions by Switzerland that had a devastating impact on Jews attempting to find refuge there. The first, in 1938, was the country’s request of Germany to stamp all passports of Jews with a "J," enabling Switzerland to prevent large numbers of Jews from entering. The second, in 1942, was the sealing of Switzerland’s borders. By the time Switzerland changed its border policy in 1944, after no longer being able to ignore the extermination of Jews by the ****s, it was too late for many thousands who had tried to cross. For those Jewish refugees who were able to enter Switzerland, conditions were often difficult. Many were imprisoned, sent to work camps, and separated from their families.]

repost from elsewhere, simply the goblin, by nature of the poster's reply, knew that the he wasn't a writer in his own right

I tend to ignore everything you write, but then I something inside me clicked and I decided to check your punctuation - because I suspected that this whole block was a single, poorly structured sentence - and then, lo and behold I was right... And you're talking about grammar nazism. At least that's what I took away from it. Overall it doesn't make a great deal of sense, and I don't get the wolf reference.

fortunately for the goblin by now his posts, that one included, had already been posted across forumland many times over, so both its readability and validity was quite known to him in spite of someone's mere conjecture to it's being otherwise then, whereupon the goblin just replied "...look, to liken one's readers to a pack of wolves that one doesn't turn one's back upon is something that if you don't really understand now, or is something that to date you have no experience as of yet of, it is suffice to say that one day when you get your readership act together you will understand for sure, promise, and moreover too, when you do understand for yourself from your own experience of what those wolf like readers there, no doubt you will remember who said it to you now, so good luck with your own posts instead, but please don't pretend you know the half of it until you've got a thread with some readership going for yourself, though I'd love to read your thread when you're ready, and don't underestimate forumland neither now, for these are early days yet with all those wolves gathering as we speak, where perhaps it's one's actual readership on forumland here, rather than some self presumed penmanship and accompanying sideline conjectures, that actually cuts real ice upon forumland now, I mean either you have what it takes like some livewriter's thread to speak of or you're not one of us for all you words..."
