repost from elsewhere, a writer's forum where they are perhaps not quite appreciating their latest member amongst them

Writing rules aren't random. They came into being because they work, at least for the majority. If you want to ramble and hide behind a goblin, go for it. I'll spend my time with others who, like me, strive to write well.

"...well now, I do love your reply, while honestly if you wish to become some dailylife wendy to my forumland peter pan here, so be it then, only that you will age by it much in the fashion that your books must date too, though that's your fault for being known, but that's not what I would choose for myself here, for without malice I'm just showing you how it looks from my end..." mentioned the goblin before adding "...you see, forumland differs form dailylife because none of any of this is real, and as such nothing can be proved neither, one is truly free of dailylife, and perhaps one day, when you've got fed up with the burden of being that famous author in your publishing world, or some aging woman in the mirror, or that madame bovary of all those met expectations placed upon you still, perhaps then you see why I stayed anonymous throughout, for only by being anonymous like this can you actually become whoever or whatever you wished to write as, where your having written books gives you all the more ability of becoming that very persona of you always wanted to be...", simply by now the goblin's dailylife seemed like another mask to him, where he imagined too that those who practiced writing experienced this same disparity between the freedom experienced within and that prison that was one's reality on the outside, adding "...oh yes, medusa would set her authors in those pre-set perimeters of dated stamped published stone, much like wendy's fate for growing up perhaps, yet forumland has nothing to do with all that fame and fortune cheapness, nor of striving to write as some writer should neither, naah it's about trying to be that unfettered self by way of one's posts alone in the time remaining, for this journey to self is not twice, so where's yourself here..."

repost from elsewhere, on the topic of american welfare abuse

"...you're making me think there where what better compliment could I offer you than that..." went the goblin who too, had seen the original article, and somehow felt that things shouldn't continue as they are, saying "...really I don't know what this "new south" is, and there is much that I wouldn't accept of it if it were just the "old south" revamped, as "segregation" and "prejudice" something I won't accept here, but at the same time deliberate abuse of the system by those who don't care for the consequence of their actions, especially where, for example, having children solely for the sake of welfare entitlement, should be made into a crime of "indifference towards one's offspring", as any child in my view deserves better than being born into this world merely in order for the mother to receive her welfare benefits from the state..."

repost from elsewhere, subject of having babies to claim social welfare, sightly hijacked through

"...naah, let's have more free internet porn instead then..." ventured the goblin half jokingly, and yet that too was clearly the trend now, one where one almost asked oneself the question why compromise to marriage where devoice, entrapment and infidelity seemed almost constant backdrop to one's married status in this ever souring economic climate, adding "...moreover, it amazes me how in the midst of this downturn of our economy, people other than those benefit fraudsters mentioned before, would contemplate either having children or having more children today if one was really was putting that child's welfare first..."

repost from elsewhere, the lupusbots "last post" thread, admin put up her photo

the goblin liked queenbot's photo very much, saying "...one would think it odd that anything could actually happen to a persona on forumland but if I start by saying that form those few edit threads before, came many many more now, and yet, try as I do, I can't quite conquer the whole of forumland here it seems, though both the livewriting scene, and my notoriety too, have advanced enough to have me wading through a jungle of notifications in my inbox, but all that never stops me from coming here if only to steal a kiss from queetbot now, saying "...who knows, you might transform me yet, so when you're ready then..."

repost from elsewhere, chatting with the chameleon

"...I have nothing but praise for you your posts, for you feed me well chameleon..." replied the goblin, who, in reply to the question, had been born and had lived in london for the early years, though being linguists, it always seemed that each generation of fleas just just hopped countries at some point, something like a family tree reading sweden, germany, switzerland, england, back to switzerland albeit back to french swiss this time, where the goblin somehow knew that his children too wouldn't stay put neither, saying "...like that "wandering jew" story then, or like "cain's curse" perhaps, either way then, it's like some child who rebels against his mother where I too have now have rebelled against my mother tongue..."

Then for starters, do away with these pics...

"...naah, not my style human, for I need to add these pictures to gain the ability of illustration now..." replied the goblin hoping that this fantasy style forum had at least something to do with its namesake now, continuing "...so do tell me why you so wish to stop anyone from being imaginative here, doesn't the forum gain by having a some diversity of posts and posting styles, can't pictures be left up to the poster's discretion, or do I have to write in the same way as everyone else does here, in a way that is to be expected of me now, aka some clone some outdated writing standard, to your approved writing style thus meeting your approved content within your approved context too, well I'm sorry now, that's not me then, nor is it going to happen, for I am not like your others, where this pen is mine throughout and where you can further defy my efforts through your post pulls and thread deletions, even baning me whenever, but know this much at least, that here to me it is yet another thread across forumland, where my posts will still be out there regardless, for well you might rule this forum with your iron fist, but forumland is bigger than you, bigger than both of us really, where it retains all that you might have thought that you had so carefully deleted..."

repost from elsewhere, the topic of immigration legal or otherwise in the US

watching from the sidelines, the goblin could appreciate both sides of this argument, knowing that about the only thing that everyone could agree upon here was that things couldn't remain as they were, and that eventually some breaking point would come, where the oscillation between that of authoritative repression on the one hand and a social unrest on the other, were likely to sway back and forth through the fabric of society like a widening pendulum, saying "...so, good bad or whatever then, simply that myth that someone can become rich under this present system is wearing very thin indeed, and if history is anything to go by, then those who had flood in in good times usually flood out in bad times through fear of being caught up in a xenophobia back-surge...", and yes, america hadn't come anywhere near its breaking point as of yet, save that there were countless examples in world history where it had happened overnight, and exactly because no one paid any attention to the resentment that had been slowly simmering over time, sighing "...in the end, aren't you humans just animals held in check by your society..."

why don't you post elsewhere on this forum goblin

"...well that's because I'm very selfish you see, for example I'll never tag a thread merely for the thread's sake, nor for the forum's sake neither, no, each post I do has to be truly meant by me in my selfishness..." replied the goblin promising to be here though, adding "...also it varies but it's something like thirty forums, so you can imagine the number of notifications, ranging form involved praise to outright hostility, between the likes of writer's forums, to dark stuff on goth forums, on to supporting courageous lupusbots on their forum too, etc., etc., with all of them asking me exactly that exact same question where I have to apologize to each in turn by saying that there's never enough goblin to go round...", in fact, the goblin only did about one post a day, one that he then reposted many times before it came close to its finished state, concluding "...so perhaps each repost is like an evolution of its original where the more one redoes it the more streamlined it becomes still, and yet it all had to be an exercise in self honesty to reveal one's muse through it lest the tagging of threads would blur her into inconspicuousness, simply you see me by this, my selfishness to its full then, sorry..."

repost from elsewhere, two live writers conversing

"Quality over quantity", her mother always said. Yet still the half-breed did not find the length of her masterpeice satisfactory.

the goblin too, was most careful about the length of his posts now, feeling it best to keep it below twelve lines, where any text longer than that he could break into two consecutive posts, either by starting the post by hinting the repetition of the situation as in still here, still seated in the bistro or more bluntly is continuation from previous post in its repost title, etc., saying "...so it's a compromise where the longer the post is the more one is imposing upon the reader whose attention span is not what it was and where TL;DR defeats the effort unless one hasn't first already gained the trust there...", but then the goblin's other trick was to add a picture too, knowing that curiosity was often the big pull of it, so the picture had to be both connected to the topic in some way and eye catching too, where the picture could be used either to underline or to contrast the message in the text much like some dress statement would

repost from elsewhere, uk election time

Yeah, I'm half-hoping for them to deadlock, just to see what happens.

"...nah, it's best not to hold great hopes towards british politics now..." advised the goblin, continuing "...you see, in america it's more dynamic and decisive, like shoot first and ask questions later, whereas in iran it's just shoot and don't ask any questions but in britain it's more like ask questions, row over this that and the next thing, tea and fruitcake anyone, more questions then, oh, and how is aunt meg's lumbago now..."

repost from elsewhere, about a forum that had many members but had imploded and folded almost overnight

"...just I feel that they didn't understand the concept of forum readership in my view..." replied the goblin, adding "...moreover, that forum would still be going if those members there had been more focused upon doing communal threads, rather than individual albeit talented blogs tucked away in their own little individual sections, why, because no rapport is the same as nothing then, new threads don't give out notification announcing themselves, whereas shared threads send out a notification with each new post added, so the trick should have been to open up and share the thread between them rather than go it alone there, just communal then...", in fact, the goblin understood that no forum actually succumbs unless the admin there calls it a day, and yet in this case the admin had been neither too stubborn to change his ways yet not stubborn enough to keep at it neither, concluding "...so you tell me then, what does the word forum suggest to you if not a place to converse with others like this, a collection of blogs are not a forum then, the rest you know then..."

repost from elsewhere

"...well I suppose there are fundamental differences between this forumland here and that dailylife there, thus different considerations must apply to each in turn..." replied the goblin before continuing "...for example, one can't really know who the others here are, nor what they are truly thinking neither, why, because nothing here is actually here, it's all just a portrayal in words, and yet "whom one is to oneself now" does become clearer through self observation and one's persistence in posting in that posting on one can't hide form oneself forever it just becomes apparent...", just that most people didn't bother to notice themselves, instead they often just posted for the sake of the others around them, or for the forum's sake then, until somewhere down the line they realized the simple truth that neither the others nor forum were actually real, so the goblin spelled it out now saying "...oddly one's alter-ego is in fact one's true self here, yet that anonymity evaporates the moment someone in dailylife knows who one is upon forumland whereupon the considerations then become those of one's dailylife's again, causing one to compromise under those observations again, being the main reason why I remain ever anonymous here, yet I want to know who I am by what I post, why, because I already know full well what mask I wear in my dailylife..."

There is an escape in us all, we find it by hiding... ... ...but we can't escape...

"...ah yes, the concept of one's secrecy as separate from one's independence, where the latter is impossible as you've rightly noted, and how wise you are by seeing it as such, for seeing it as one more person firmly shackled to the realm of the moneygod, where the more one buys into its working the more it just owns one outright..." mused the goblin, welcoming xxxxx to here now, adding "...ah, but no posting for this forum's sake please, nor for the sake of other posters here neither, for this posting lark has to be selfish for it to be sustainable, thus I ask myself what in my life is worth posting and take it from there then, where no doubt someone else might use a different trigger towards how they go about their posting, yet it's all a journey to self all the same, where self is not the realm of the moneygod, self is in spite of the moneygod there..."

"...naah, it's ok..." smiled the goblin as friendly as ever, adding "..it's just that me and the others are so used to fraying with hecklers that we're quick to scrap a bit, in that each post you see here might look hap-hazardous, or ever so easy perhaps, but I can assure that a lot of effort goes its creation, for example do you think anyone could write as fluidly as xxxxx does in her thread, or as interestingly as xxxxx does in his without some constant practice at it, in fact, it takes much stamina to do this constantly, where it is both without reward materialistically and where one is held accountable with each comment...", yet the goblin also knew that it was up to him here, knowing too, that if he didn't do this, then all these years would simply pass with a void in the place of where his thought out opinion should have been, saying "...in fact, I am glad you've started talking to me like this, for you're beginning to form your opinion and persona by it, so keep questioning then, it's the threshold to seeing that one's tagging threads is not what this forumland is about, that behind the fun and games of posting there's a race to know who you are by what you post while you still can..."

I'm glad you liked it. It brought tears to my eyes.

"...I cried too..." replied the goblin, adding "...but I guess, what with you're nam-vet background, all would have been far clearer to you, you knew well that for some families who weren't shown in that video, the outcome was so tragically different, simply, most viewers from civistreet haven't got a clue what soldiers and their families go through each time, now they only see media coverage of warzones, where they don't realized that the soldier they're viewing on the screen is actually a man with his family, no, they just see media spin, action, excitement, whatever, but not the real context then...", and with that, the goblin then pinched the video, saying "...ah, but we're not to be trusted, though you know me by now, I can't resist something beautiful when I've seen it..."

in fact, the goblin always hid himself behind some lax grammar usage, saying "...no, here it's ever and always what one posts of oneself to oneself isn't it, as I very much doubt those readers are ever going to fully understand one anyway, if only because clearly these words remain mere representations of oneself here, but that's the whole joy of this livewriting on random threads, where simply one corrects the originals in their reposting across forumland each time, again and again and again, till the final residue becomes you to yourself by it, or as near as one can ever get to oneself through mere words that represent one...", "...ah, so that's your goal there goblin, no we all thought that you were just mad..." went a ghost in the background, "...well ghost, what's sanity here anyway, I mean how else is one going to go about doing this posting lark without first understanding that none of it will make any sense in those dailylife terms, a madness perhaps but just because dailylife is reality doesn't make one's reality one's sanity now..." replied the goblin to a ghost who had wondered off again, yes funny how their apparition seem always to be in those unguarded moments

repost from elsewhere, a writer's forum, from the "the process of writing" thread there

Diversity, we are beginning to learn, is a good thing. Writers have diverse styles, too. The more fluent writers can often be recognized by their unique style. It is not our job as readers to attempt to impose our style onto another’s writing.

"...music to my ears mortals, count me in amongst your ranks now MYAHAHAHA..." started the goblin, actually lying because his "whatevers" were more tailored towards forumland, as he intended to cut an anonymous name for himself here, perhaps amounting to the greatest goblin this forumland has ever know now, continuing "...though to be honest certain constraints arise when writing across forumland, they are "post length", "writing style", "content", "eyecatchyness" and "one's persona" here...", the value of each the goblin could only vouch for from his near unrivaled experience across forum after forum now, so he continued "...for example, "post length" is ever a compromise, too long and they'll skip it, too short and it wont register with them, whereas with one's "writing style" grammar**** is mostly loathed everywhere, probably because they don't and won't understand colons, semi colons, etc., where too, the content has to be compelling enough for them to remember the persona behind it, plus adding pictures or streams to one's text also sets one apart, and lastly the persona is really what you are trying to get them to latch onto here, if only because there's no point of doing any wonderful posts if they're not going to remember who's writing them now, so the persona, in my case a goblin here is hardly forgettable is it, so in effect the username acts an author's name for anyone to find one's other threads when googled...", and with that the goblin felt that he should explain how he imagined the readers to be, saying "...here you go then, here's a stream that explains in its way modern day readership to me..."

Just some trivia. Sorry

"...not at all, not only do you post very well and often, I feel you're very brave to continue to post with one such as I, for my hunger is boundless and the forum gains that content too..." went the goblin once more feeding well upon the post, adding "...you see, for me it doesn't really matter which forum I am on, nor what that forum is actually about neither, no I only care about feeding upon that which feeds me my thoughts and what I can fed back to the slot in return, where that post was ace then, for it has prompted these thoughts into this reply back...", yes, by now the goblin had met so many humans, where those who either put on literary airs, or those wrote only for some financial motivation, especially where it was not on the forum itself, never really cut much ice with him, saying "...I suppose on forumland one is one's posts alone, where whatever someone has published elsewhere merely points all the more to what could have done on forumland, the absentia is evident, whereas someone who actually posts for no reason other than an inner need to write on this forum itself needs no elsewhere as proof of themselves to me, simply they earn my full respect already because one can see their content directly, almost as if posting is publishing or equal to being paid in posts, just something without elsewhere then..."

I was stuck, trapped, way in the back of my mum's closet, wearing one of her girdles, & shaking like a leaf.

of course by now the goblin had seen the original post, saying "...really it's a bit like the paradox of schrodinger's cat in quantum mechanics here, where the two states of existence and non existence exist side by side as both is and isn't instantaneously, or more simply that the effects were happening too quickly for comprehension resulting in one contradictory state of existence/non existence then...", though the goblin then felt it was better to remind the trolls that one wasn't in fact here either, since all that was actually here were these words that represent concepts of one upon a screen, but even this the goblin knew would be difficult for some trolls to comprehend here, so instead the goblin sympathized, and just for them then, he added their favorite bit of teletubbies which was quite beyond the goblin's comprehension now

Books aren't selling as well as they used to, that's for sure. It's a pity though. I feel for all those people who had their little secondhand bookstores, and have gone out of business. I used to love going into those stores to see what rare treasure I could find. I think once the older generation dies out, and all we are left with are the computer literate people, books will become a thing of the past.

"...naah, nothing really ever dies out completely as there's always some residual market share remaining somewhere, be it for books, or for newspapers, television, or the radio for that matter..." mentioned the goblin then adding "...yes we can see how this internet is taking over as those media, if it hasn't done so already, so no then, so what remains is the question of how will each of those other medias adapt themselves to this internet here, since internet users will still want something to read or something to view or something to listen to, only that they will now also want this interaction too, and it's this interaction then that excites me most, being something quite new in my view...", simply, the goblin never forgot his old writer's club days, where back then too, writers would simply swap exacts of things they had written apart from their published works, concluding "...imagine, to have an author, no the author in fact, just sitting in front of one reciting their work aloud, so perhaps that was my first experience of livewriting as such where forumland now becomes my writer's club once more, and where this interaction will eventually turn it mainstream, why, because you can reply to me here, yes "the readerships is dead humans, long live our replyship here"..."

"...nothing changes xxxxx, I'm still here to steal your courage and feed you as before, and please don't think that you have to say anything in return, except that when you do post, that moment you'll see that I am listening, oh and how I am listening too, simply where else on the whole of forumland am I actually going to get a post from a lupusbot, and what could possibly equate to one I wonder...", in fact, to someone anonymous, there was no fame nor fortune, there was only this journey together where the goblin would make the running now, saying "...silly you, you'll never get rid of me now, on with our show then, but between us though I am not the hero here am I..."

You talk a lot about writing a lot. To write and talk about how you write seems odd to me. And you claim to read every post. I doubt that. Perhaps you read every post in the threads you start, and I dare say everyone here does the same. But few can read every post in every thread. I know I cannot keep up with every post in every thread.

Why not write a novel. A chapter per post. Could be interesting. Maybe have others chime in if you get stuck in the plot ...or just to see where it takes you.

"...thanks but that's rather the wrong way round isn't it, I mean upon forumland one doesn't write to be read in chapters, instead one feeds to read back that which one is looking for from others around one..." replied the goblin first thanking the admin for having it in his sinews to converse while the others..., then admitting that even if he had a million readers actually read his posts by now it would have amounted to nothing at all, and yet had just one of them picked up upon a post then that would have meant something at least, then adding "...clearly I failed your forum and have lost my wager by it, but afterwards it'll be as before I came then, promise, though by christmas day we'll know for sure just how much I missed my mark by, where I dare say that since I'm not the only livewriter out there, the next one will fare better than I did now, so maybe they were right about me all along..." while outside the bistro the cold winter's rain had finally washed the street clean of the last of autumn's fallen leaves, somehow the goblin understood this death was just part of the regeneration process
