author_by_nightPeople I said I'd write drabbles for: For some reason, my inspiration plain died. I will write them. Promise. Just not right away.
I really hate when I send private messages to people on messageboards asking questions, and they never reply. So I have a question about one in particular.
As I've been saying for ages, I work on Pen n Paper. Well, a few weeks ago, I asked someone who runs a pretty popular site (it's appeared in magazine and newspaper articles) how she got it to be so popular. She apparently read the PM that same day, but never responded to it, and now I'm worried maybe it was too forward of me to ask. I didn't mean to sound like I was trying to compete, because I'm not - the site is completely different, for starters. But is it possible it still offended her?
And in general - when do you guys send PMs? Reply to them?
(As an off note - have I been plugging and talking about Pen n Paper too much?)

Date: 2006-04-24 03:08 pm (UTC)Pen n Paper is a site my friend and I have, where we host original writing.
As for the PM, you're probably right that she gets asked that all the time. Hadn't really thought of that, but now that I think of it, it's more than possible. She's definitely not an ignorant person, though maybe she is admittedly a bit... proud. But still, I don't think she didn't answer my email just to be rude or anything.
