Good morning, website! I realised just now that offering auto rewards for folders does not automatically set that auto reward on every item in the folder (right?). Was a bit of a chore going through 30+ poems and adding rewards separately, but now I'm done! So, should anyone want to read some (surprisingly well-reviewed, so far, I might add, did NOT expect that) poetry this fine (Swedish) morning, earn a quick 300 GP per review AND, as a bonus, make yours truly very happy by sharing your thoughts and feedback with me (this is the best part, a few of you have even made understand my own writing=thoughts better, did NOT expect that) then I have a suggestion for you... Well, two suggestions, really. Light side or dark side? Red pill or blue pill? Heaven or hell? (Wait, did I just write that out loud?) Uhm, sorry, I think you got the point somewhere around the first bad analogy. Pick your poison or mix both into a cocktail (shaken, not stirred)—wait, my brain wants me to do something to it that might give me a concussion, so I'll just drop this here right quick (and go bash my head against a wall for no reason at all, apparently).
Oh, I wrote a blog post for the first time in my life too, about humanity's quest for truth, why it seems to be futile, and a very simple solution to the problem. My friends seem to have enjoyed the read, maybe you will too. Seems that linking directly to a blog entry doesn't work for some reason. Good thing there's only one entry to choose from, then. 100 % disambiguated!
Alright, I've had enough fun for one morning, back to designing quantum computer circuits... Take care of yourselves and each other, and I'll try my best to do likewise! /Netzach |
Long time since I interacted with this site, busy with my studies and music... Finally found a way to remove the clutter in my Portfolio by placing my poems in two folders; one for more light-hearted ones and one for the darker stuff. I've been considering uploading some more stuff that's collecting dust on my hard drive but I'm afraid that would screw up my (surprisingly, to be honest) high average rating (4.53 / 5 from 43 ratings on my poems, how did that happen? I hardly even know what poetry is)... A very heartfelt thank you to everybody who've taken their time to read my abstract self-therapy, I am humbled by your kind words! Feel free to take a peek in my newly sorted poem folders (both of them, if you dare...). There's more where that came from, and thank you for being such an awesome community!

Ok I uploaded 8-ish more... They don't do me any good stuck on my hard drive anyway |
Decided to upload a batch of ten more poems to my portfolio, effectively doubling the number of items I am sharing on this site! I had no idea what to expect when I joined this site. I'd been writing poetry and lyrics for almost 10 years, mostly for the sake of my peace of mind... Thoughts and ideas are making noise inside my head and the only way I have found to quiet them is to give them an artistic outlet; be it in writing, music or... well, I can't draw or paint anything more complex than stick figures, basically, but words and music serve me well enough. Much to my surprise, almost every piece of poetry I have shared here seems to have been received very well. I'm not sure I understand why, really, but it is both humbling and inspiring that these words I have written as some sort of abstract self-therapy can actually be appreciated by others. Regarding my "novel" (which I in retrospect maybe ought to have created as a serial, but it felt good creating a Book item...), it is very much a work-in-progress and probably will be for some time. I've finished and uploaded three chapters so far, but thanks to a very helpful reviewer (hello, Lornda) the third chapter is due for a makeover. If only I could make more time for writing... Hey, wait, is everybody going to see this now? I still don't know half of the functions on this site. Better stop rambling, then. Over and out. |
You're funny. Yep, folks can see what you posted in your newsfeed. Congratulations on your poems being so popular, though. That's awesome! As for how these things all work, when you come to the newsfeed and post or post in your notebook, it posts to the newsfeed. Anyone who has fanned you will see what you posted. Also, anyone (like me) who clicked Community Newsfeed will see what everyone has posted on the newsfeed (AKA their notebook). Your notepad (not to be confused with notebook) is private. IMs are also private. Of course, so is e-mail. Scroll is not private. It might seem like only a couple of people are watching it, but there could be hundreds of lurkers waiting for a game so they can get GPs. Watch what you say on Scroll, even if it seems like no one else is around. I think that sums most of it up. Anyway, congratulations again and thanks for sharing your poetry with us! |
Hello! I finally found a community giving me a good enough impression to make me want to publish my very first attempt at fiction writing. It is a sci/fantasy story with some philosophical, metaphysical and theological undertones. I study for a master's in theoretical physics and, trust me, there's a lot of wacky stuff going on out there which I plan to make part of my story. I have published the two first chapters of my work, "SHARD", already. Feedback appreciated, especially harsh feedback! No pain, no gain. |
