A Comment On Anxiety

Posted on July 18, 2021 44 Comments

Back in the summer 2018, I wrote for the blog like I do now. For my last post of the summer, I mentioned that I felt bad I never responded to anyone’s comments the entire time. I proceeded to say that if I could do it over, I would’ve responded more. Yet, it’s been almost […]

A Quick Note on the Malleting of Comments

Posted on September 2, 2020 52 Comments

Folks: I’ve recently begun to see an upswing in comments which begin with some variation of “I expect this comment to be deleted/malleted/otherwise expunged, but…” I think this is done for two reasons. About five percent of the time it’s someone genuinely not knowing whether what they’re about to write is going to cross the […]

Small Administrative Note Regarding Comments

Posted on November 7, 2020 3 Comments

Which is: The spam filter has been unusually aggressive in the last month and is capturing a larger-than-expected number of actual comments from real humans. So if your comment doesn’t post immediately, don’t panic: I will (probably) find it in the spam queue and release it at some point. Now, back to your scheduled Saturday […]

Administrative Notes and an Editorial Comment, 8/23/21

Posted on August 23, 2021 30 Comments

As noted in the day’s previous entry from Athena, today’s post from her marks her last contribution to the site for a bit, as she starts up school again and focuses on classes. I am, of course, 100% in support of this plan, but it does mean a few changes around here, which I will […]

Technical Note on the Site’s Mobile Theme

Posted on December 23, 2020 9 Comments

Which is that for some people there’s a UI bug that puts the “Exit Mobile Version” banner over the “Post” button when you want to leave a comment. I verified it being an issue on Android; I haven’t checked it elsewhere. I’m looking into it to see if I can fix it. In the meantime, […]

Not a Single One of You Correctly Guessed the Holiday Song I Was Thinking of for the “Murder By Other Means” ARC Contest

Posted on December 19, 2020 28 Comments

None of you! 577 comments, not a single one correctly guessed the song I was thinking about. Which, incidentally, was this one: Now, “Santa Claus’ Party” is not a “top tier” holiday song in terms of popularity, but I didn’t think it was so hopelessly obscure that out of a few hundred people not a […]

I’m Giving Away an ARC of The Dispatcher: Murder By Other Means

Posted on December 17, 2020 577 Comments

You wanna win it? Here’s how you do it: I’m thinking of a holiday song right now. Guess which one it is in the comments. That’s it! Now, THE RULES: 1. One guess per person. Don’t post a list of songs, y’all. 2. When you leave your comment, make sure the email address you put […]

Small note here that thanks to the lovely people at WordPress, there are a couple minor improvements that have been implemented here today. The first is that now each post has a byline up top, so that you’ll know who is writing a piece even without our pictures and our initials at the end. I […]

Spam Filtering Note

Posted on June 6, 2020 15 Comments

In the last couple of days I’ve been getting emails from folks asking if I’m moderating people more than usual and/or have revoked people’s posting status. The answer: Nope — but it does appear the site’s spam filter is being unusually aggressive recently, and comments have been getting kicked into the spam folder. That being […]
