pulling a Kurt

Apr 16, 2014 23:35

Earlier tonight I made a rookie mistake I've been waiting to make for a few weeks now: posted a reply on one LJI account while logged into another. This is also not the first rookie mistake I've made this season. So the jig is up.

dont_be_first and crafty_callie were related experiments brought to you by lossfound, aka the_day_setup (Season 8), mc_lji (Exhibit A, self-shitcanned), acalculatedname (Exhibit B), and ( Read more... )

Am I...FIRST?! Uh-oh.

Would you like some brutal concrit on your comment?

YES PLZ I PUT LOTS OF WORK INTO THAT JUMBLE OF OVERABUNDANT PUNCTUATION MARKS AND SMATTERING OF SINGLE SYLLABLE WORDS.

Should've stuck with Idol fan-porn.

That sounds like that would have been very interesting... why are you completely blowing your cover(s) and bailing out? I know you said you accidentally posted from the wrong account, but surely it could have been damage-controlled, wasn't seen by everyone?

I mean heck, I am actually half the contestants but no one seems to have figured it out yet. ;D

On one level, I am actually already bored - and also very tired - of defending the DBF schtick. As it turns out, I really don't like having to say "bad" things about folks and/or their writing, even when they're not really all that bad (which in turn is sort of equalized by everyone thinking that what I've said is WAY more evil than what I've actually written, if not *anything* that has ever been written in Idol).

Beyond that, I deleted the mis-posted comment within seconds but I also knew that what I'd managed to stir up so far both as DBF *and* as Callie would result in SOMEONE almost instantly calling me out / preventing any possible damage control. And I was right.

I'm sad I didn't get to have my intended fun as Callie but being DBF was pretty draining and I honestly was looking forward to getting killed.

Yeah, miintikwa got a notification of your response, too, because she posted the comment you replied to. She's the one who gave me the heads up (unless... am I her? Gasp!). I'm sure I'm not the only one who was tracking the thing, curious to see what your evidence of the Deb Collective was. It was all very bizarre.

dont_be_first April 17 2014, 05:39:28 UTC

I actually *did* email Gary exactly what I posted - with [callie] and [/callie] at the start and end. He declined comment.

You might want to edit crafty_callie's post to include a link to this explanation after "her" hysterics. The one in the comments is nice, but this might clear things up for people just strolling by.

(You beat me to it. Nevermind.)

lrig_rorrim April 17 2014, 18:10:43 UTC

Ok, so I'm going to try to be straight with you, in much the same way I tried to be straight with "Callie" (which is probably just as foolish, but hey, I'm kind of dumb some times ( ... )

And because I can't just shut up and wander off, evidently... lrig_rorrim April 17 2014, 18:34:24 UTC

Eh. Maybe this is all just sour grapes or whatever on my part, because I was so totally blindsided by all this. That's entirely possible. I was never offended, and never worried - not about Callie's safety or my own (she was the most incompetent "cyber sleuth" in the world to miss my Real Identity (tm) and think I was PTW and Deb, after all). At least on my part, there's been no harm done, and I want to make clear I'm not claiming any. But laughing in a laugh-or-go-mad kind of way isn't my usual favorite kind of giggle, and I really was hoping for more, better, and different. Meh. Whatevs. Here's my reaction, such as it is. Maybe it'll prove informative, if not useful.

*hugs* If it helps any, I stayed up too late trying to frame a comment that would be helpful/supportive/realistic without making it worse, and while I eventually gave up, I ended up oversleeping and missing my allergy shot. So you're certainly not the only person to be fooled, or to feel like this has had more negative results than positive. *hugs*

One piece of information I've left out is the second "rookie mistake" I've mentioned a couple times both in the jig-is-up entry and in subsequent commentary. It was this: I have never been thrown into the "redemption tribe" before ( ... )
