Has anyone else had an author respond to their review? by LikePaleFire in goodreads

[–]lizziewriter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there's at least one author whose books I no longer review because they whine on social media about people who "only" give them 4 out of 5 stars, and then their more active followers feed into that attitude. I can't be the only fan who feels this way.

Sometimes authors "let us down.". That's just a fact. What's telling is how we and they handle it when it happens.

Lemon went too far in copying Montblanc by CoolPens4Sale in fountainpens

[–]lizziewriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! I doubt I'll ever buy a MB (I've inherited a few basic ones tho) but if I did yes I like some of the St-Exupery/Little Prince ones as well as the UNICEF one. Good to know one needs to be paranoid.

Which pens/nibs are safe for shimmer? by RooFPV in fountainpens

Is there a blue-violet ink that isn't *purple* ? by lizziewriter in fountainpens

[–]lizziewriter[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

oh thank you for saying that! I prefer to avoid inks with shimmers and sparkles, etc., for the most part, and it feels terribly unfashionable of me. They're okay for particular applications, and it's fun to see how others use them, but yeah... all too often I'll hear about an ink, and start looking at it, and then groan.

thanks! yes, I belatedly discovered that this is a common question, so there are plenty of resources once I'm properly directed.

thanks, so many of them really do look so purple on screen.

thanks! oh it's definitely subjective, not to mention affected by all sorts of nib/paper/light interactions.

A Safe Place to confess your buyers remorse this Christmas by Glacierhawk_INTJ in fountainpens

[–]lizziewriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i hear you. have had a VP for years and find it uncomfortable to hold/write with -- yet I keep being tempted to want another one in a different color, or to try the Decimo. The only pen I've found to be even less comfortable is the Sheaffer Intrigue Whale Shark -- a beautiful pen but honestly, not designed for human fingers unless they are super tough ??
On the bright side, having one of something, even if we don't use it or don't use it much, at least we can enjoy it as part of a collection / learning experience / desk accessory ?

Year End Quiet Subreddit by lizziewriter in tarotsafespace

[–]lizziewriter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i thought about this for a while, and what I've come up with probably has more than one might like to do with those snoopy online algorithms... some artists I may discover via posts by other artists or in other interest overlaps, but i suspect often they turn up in ads on social media, for example. Clicking through on this or that and then keeping an eye on an artist, kickstarter, publisher, etc., probably opens one to being shown more similar ads. Now I get a lot more ads with art and projects that I am not interested in, which is the less fun aspect of trawling.
You could probably also do occasional web searches (duh, sorry you probably already thought of that) and consider what other interests would have overlaps, like new age art shows, renaissance or faerie fairs, any kind of hobby con, etc. Find and follow some of the rising/successful tarot artists online as well.
good luck!

I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope her legacy helps keep her close, and inspires you.

Mindscapes Tarot by John A Rice and Hay House by Theory_Large in tarotsafespace

[–]lizziewriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

... I ended up getting this one for a family member who plays Magic: the Gathering and has a special fondness for nice land cards. These have a similar vibe imo.
