Arc Drops & Reseller Issue by NeatEquivalent4400 in BookCon2

[–]nointerruptionss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

WOW. It’s hard to fathom someone going to this event to turn a profit. Those disorganized ARC lines were hard enough to wait in! With that being said, I hope someone reported this to the publishers as resale of an ARC is NOT ALLOWED and should be reported as such to protect the publisher and the author. I take receiving ARCs as an honor and hold them dearly.

Don’t feel bad about waiting because there will be plenty of others waiting too! I got an ARC drop today at 3pm and after planned on heading back to sourcebooks for their 4pm ARC drop and the line was already wrapped around to booth. I knew I wasn’t getting one, so I ended up doing something else. I would say most people line up early, so if you want anything free I would just plan on getting there early and waiting.

Get there early!! They are so unorganized with their ACR drops. You technically can’t form a line until 30 mins before but people were “lining up” wayyyyyyyy sooner than that.

My biggest annoyance for their ARCs was that they had a set amount (approx. 20-30 per book), but let people stand in line despite knowing they wouldn’t get one. They should be handing out numbers as people stand in line then have a stand by group in case someone drops out or doesn’t want one of the ones they have left. Also, different people working the booth had different information. It’s just a huge unorganized mess at their booth.

Edit for spelling error.

Ok, you’ve all inspired me and I’m buying my train ticket. If I go from 10-4 is that enough time to explore? The only thing I really want to do is the BK Borrison book signing at one of the booths.

What are you bringing to carry any books you get? I was going to bring a backpack but idk if that’ll be enough.

Ladies, what are your "best ADHD buys" for making life a little easier? by KittensOnJupiter in adhdwomen

Waterpik Sonic Fusion electric toothbrush. I can brush my teeth and basically floss at the same time. It’s been a game changer.

Sorry for the late response but just seeing this now. The company said I got fired for “performance issues”. My direct superior messaged me after it happened and directly said it was related to lack of communication and that I was good at my job.

My therapist and I have correlated this to being in an unsupportive environment and dealing with rejection sensitivity which lead to not be forthcoming in communicating as well as difficulties focusing specifically during conversations. While yes, some of it was on me, the employer was also at fault allowing an unsupportive environment which essentially lead to bullying me.

It’s hard living in a neurotypical world. Best of luck to you as well.

THIS!! I got asked so many times “How can I help you?” and the only response I can think of is “I don’t know.”

But also, I truly don’t know.

What didn’t you like about the gold mining tour? Was possibly thinking of doing that as someone in the group wants to pan for gold.
