Except mine. I'm totally a sock puppet.

Love ya for that. I heart Lisa <3

Uhm, I can't write real reviews of Lisa's books coz I have an out of control fan girl crush. I'm so ashamed.

I heart you, Lisa, I heart you soooo harrrrrrd.

Even if you run from possums. :p

Have fun shopping for new clothes! :)

^^^^^^^ three completely unrelated sentiments. obvs.

Heh, a cute red sock puppet?

Of course :-)

Someone actually accused me and Elspeth of being sock puppets in one of Nenia's threads. Or maybe they accused Nenia of being one too. It's been awhile, and the details are fuzzy.

I always imagine sock puppets as real wooly creatures, fiendish herds of them, typing ersatz reviews for their evil author overlords.

Now everyone who disagreed IS a sockpuppet. How convenient. :D

I know, right? Someone obviously took a lot of time creating me. They have a pretty twisted imagination. I really worry about the person who thought me up. I've got a few bones to pick with them.

Look! a sockpuppet with a personality. Hehehe

You have absolute right to pick those bones ;)

Loads of it, for good or bad. It's probably a good thing there is only one of me. I wouldn't make anyone else take responsibility for me.

Huggles. I love that about you. Speaking your mind is sexy.

*big hug*

It does indeed have a way of making you feel better about your own less-than-stellar (or outright bad rofl) reviews, doesn't it?

At least I know readers are authentically reading, responding, and discussing my book, which is worth more than all the 5* from sockpuppets in the world!

It's nice to see how many authors feel that way. For me, a negative review isn't me telling everyone what a bad person the author is, or even that no one else should read that book ever. It's just my reaction to a book. Even authors I love write books that don't work for me, and that's okay. Not every book has to work for every reader. Taste is very subjective, and some author's don't seem to understand that a bad review isn't the end of the world, and that by acting in such a distasteful manner they are negatively impacting their sales more than any number of bad reviews.

I mean don't get me wrong I still get butthurt at reviews sometimes, but man, you gotta learn to cry to your mom/eat your feelings/hug your cat and then look at the big picture, which is always: genuine reviews, good or bad, are good for your book and mean you're not yelling into some void and not being heard. Which to me is the REAL failure as an author, not somebody somewhere disliking or even hating what you wrote.

it's true. better the honest takedown than the dishonest rave.

Go Lisa! Mine are real, too. No author loves one star reviews, but I'm fine with it - it means my characters come to life well enough for people to hate them!

Exactly. Nothing's wrong with being butthurt. It becomes wrong when one shove one's butt in front of the reviewer's face. Not only is it unprofessional, it's unhygienic. Butthurt should stay as a private matter.

I kinda like it when boys stick their butts in my face

for me to hurt them with my big—

Exactamly.

Also, MLE, you look FAB in neon!!

I thought we were all dogs.

Okay, fucking applause, NOW.
First image posted. There it is. New Year's resolution #3--CHECK.

Yay, Vivian!

I hate posting images on GR. Why can't they make it easy???

Oh, look at you! As if you even have a bad side!

Feel a bit like a dork since it was way easier than I expected, but yeah, have to paste code until my poor dog brain memorizes it.

Why thank you. Gotta stand out from all those black and white socks.

I worry about the stripes.

Applauding fervently. Good job Lisa.

I am like Vivian. Struggled with the picture posting till I memorized the code enough to just type it.

Woof! We are for all you know. ;)

MLE, you look ravishing in that shade. Wanna squeeze hug you so badly.

I'm perfectly okay with that.

Did somebody send for a black & white sock puppy?

Cute, Karen.
