way cool pictures

the goblin thanked the humans for their diverse and inspiring comments to date, on what was after all his very own self-introduction thread, but with that the goblin also knew too, that he really should go back to explaining to readers here, what it was that made this writing in posts just that bit more exciting than either blogs or books now, saying "...simply if I were to publish a book, or write a blog for that matter, you would know straight off that I was the author here where you are reduced to reading my book, or commenting on my blog entry, but that's not what you really want now is it, oh no, you want to be in this with me now, you in your own right here that is, where if you don't believe me, go across the forums and see which threads actually get the most hits then...", the goblin stopped as if trying to bridge it to himself now, till finally he just added "...look, I am anonymous, so whether you read me or not make no difference at all, for I will just post on, ah no what makes a difference is when you reply, for many a post has fed me my thoughts here..."

why

"...because your "journey to self" is yours alone, and because if you can't walk away from your own creations, then they still own you..." replied the goblin, continuing "...perhaps you should see it from the standpoint of someone who is anonymous then, who cares nothing for what he has created if only because he can't lay any claim to it, and yet he still enjoys "creating" through, it's simply the difference between peter pan and wendy here, one can't be peter pan unless one is truly anonymous..."

Yeah, I'm half-hoping for them to deadlock, just to see what happens.

"...nah, it's best not to hold great hopes towards british politics now..." advised the goblin, continuing "...you see, in the states, it's more dynamic and decisive, like "shoot first and ask questions later", whereas in iran it's just "shoot and don't ask questions" but in britain it's "keep asking questions, row over this that and the next thing, tea and fruitcake anyone, questions anyone now, and how is aunt meg's lumbago"..."

Have you ever been pirated

"...well yes, admittedly piracy is a problem in the book world..." replied the goblin now, continuing "...but on forumland, which is where an ever growing number of readers are to be found now, one is ones own book so to speak, so the problem doesn't arise because the reader latches onto the persona here where the persona is hard to duplicate...", in fact the goblin felt that the real battle for readership was on the internet now, since books were offering diminishing returns that is, and where blogs were just some eternal waiting game, no, the goblin was out to conquer forumland, saying "...everyone knows bansky save that nobody actually knows who he is, simply his trick was not to copyright stuff..."

repost from elsewhere, someone who had started editing the goblin's posts

Quote :

I'm fleamailman. A fellow who appears to have an obsession with goblins, posting random pictures, and has an tendency to spam this specific thread once a week at the very least.

at which point the goblin noticed the words rewritten above, and suddenly realized that he must be schizophrenic then, saying "...it's ok, well I suppose I can share myself now, luckily everything is mirrored, where my username is traceable, otherwise it might have actually mattered

why don't you post elsewhere on this forum goblin

"...very simply, I never tag a thread for the thread's sake, or for the site's sake, each post has to be worth my posting to me now..." replied the goblin in all honesty here, adding "...have you any idea, what it's like to be on fifty "last post" threads then, can you imagine even, the number of notifications, ranging form praise to outright hostility, both form creative writing on writer's forums, to dark stuff on goth forums, on to supporting courageous lupusbots on their forum too, etc., etc., and all of them asking me that same question then, where I have to then apologize to each in turn, that there isn't enough me to go round now...", in fact, the goblin only did about one post a day but that post then had to be reposted fifty times over, before it even came close to finished in his view, concluding "...the more you put into a post the more that will come out of it, so where is the muse in tagging threads then..."

"...I am so happy now..." mentioned the goblin now, who he had just been given a picture by admin of herself at the lupusmctd site, which had just reopened, where the goblin just said "...well if that isn't a feather in my cap, what is I wonder, very brave admin too, so I quickly posted this back now to her...")

repost from elsewhere, the lupusbots "last post" thread

the goblin liked queenbot's photo very much, saying "...one would think it odd that anything could actually happen to a persona on the internet but if I start by saying that form those few "last post" threads before, came many many more, and yet, as much as I try, I cannot quite conquer the whole of forumland here it seems, though both the "live writing" scene, and my notoriety too, have advanced enough to have me wading through a jungle of notifications in my inbox, but that never stops me from coming if only to steal a kiss from queetbot now, saying "...who knows, you might change me yet..."
