Love in Dark Settings

Exciting discussions! I'm happy to see that you guys have been busy in my absence.

( Reply to yonmei about LGBT writers and self-identification of orientations )
( Reply to mightymaeave, dharma_slut, and Rose Red about the GLBT literature thread )
( Reply to maevele about the Lambda Literary Awards )

( Reply to mightymaeve about researching nineteenth and early twentieth homosexuality )

Hurrah, I think I've replied to all the comments at my blogs from this year and last year. (But, um, not from 2007 yet. *Cough.*) If I missed you, just nudge me.

( Reply to lee_rowan about electronic piracy )
( Reply to spiralred about me and my apprentice )

( Reply to emansil_08 about simplicity )
( Reply to spiralred about Dorchester County, Maryland )
( Reply to telepwen about The Unanswered Question )
( Brief replies to mightymaeve, lusiology )

My inbox is so much of a mess that I haven't even filed away a lot of the comments I already replied to, so forgive me if I respond twice to anyone's comments. Forgive me even more if I contradict myself in my second response. :)

I'm working my way chronologically backwards. If you're one of the people whose 2007 comment I haven't responded to yet, I'll get to you eventually (*cough, cough*).

I love receiving comments here (as those of you who have heard my pleas for comments already know). But because I have to limit my online time, it's difficult for me to reply separately to a dozen or more comments that have been posted since I was online last, especially since I read those comments offline.

In order that I can reply in a timely manner to all comments, I'm starting a new policy of replying periodically, in a round-up post, to all recent comments. The round-up post will be tagged this way:

Dreamwidth: reply to comments.
InsaneJournal: reply to comments.
LiveJournal: reply to comments.

If you're watching this journal regularly on your Friends/Read/RSS page, you'll see the "reply to comments" post when I post it. If you're not watching this journal regularly, just wait about a week (between April and September) or about a month (between October and March) and click on one of the above links. You should see my reply posted to you, along with replies to all other recent comments. I'll link to the comments I'm replying to.

I'm sorry that this is somewhat less convenient to folks posting here than me posting a reply directly to your comment, and I hope that this won't discourage you from posting comments. I think this will help me to respond to comments more quickly than I have in the past.
