I thank them each time they approve mine.
In the real world, I would always thank someone for doing something for me, especially something as selfless as reading my moronic 5000 words and deeming them acceptable and fit for public scrutiny. However, the Internet is a funny thing. Sometimes - perhaps in the manner of all addictive substances - it magnifies my personal traits and sometimes it diminishes them. Hence, sometimes I say thank you and sometimes I simply forget. For all those apparently unappreciative moments (when I was actually too dazed by euphoria to respond respectfully) may I simply say:
Thank you xxxxxxx
"If I sign off with pithy quotations, ignore all preceding opinion for I am undoubtedly a fool. And if, after our discourse, I abuse you by proffering my vulgar produce, cast me into the gutter."
In the future I will remember to thank them. I don't recall if I've done it in the past. I have had a nice conversation with one after she approved my story.
I'm still waiting for the third part of a story to be published. It seems like it's been way too long since I submitted it.
Personally, i enjoy getting replies, especially if they're nice ones! lol
I even thank the mod when my story is rejected, I thank them for taking the time to give me feedback and why my story was rejected. I learn more from every mistake I make. It makes my writing better......
I never thank them. I just think, "Pfff, it was your privilege. Sheit."
My view is courtesy costs nothing. I appreciate the feedback, whether the story is approved or not (which happens). I think we should be grateful to the Mods for keeping the quality up.
So thank you from me...............
Oh crap! I don't think I said thanx to the mods who approved by two submissions.
Now I feel like a dick...Wait! Wait! That's not what I meant....
...Apparently I also need a proof reader
Anyways a belated THANK YOU!!!! to Shylass and ShyVixen!
