So, I popped onto Tumblr this afternoon and discovered someone had commented on one of my posts. Honestly, at this point, I'm pretty disillusioned and expect every interaction I get on here to be a bot trying to scam me. So imagine my surprise when I find it's from the Tumblr Security Team, alerting me to 'anomalies' with my account and informing me that I've been put into 'lurker mode' for my own protection, and all I need to do to fix it is click the link provided.
Like, how stupid do they think I am? Do they really think I will click a provided link - ANY link, from anyone - without checking the actual web address of said link? Do they really think I won't run a Google search to double check? *Sigh* I reported and blocked them.
Then I went and checked my Outfox Stories account, to check on Hunger Has New Rules, and guess what? I had a message on that site, too.
BUT! This was an actual comment from an actual person (I think). They liked my chapter and offered a suggestion on the direction they'd like the story to go (which is no where near what I have planned, sorry) but there was none of the usual scammer tricks, so I think it was real. Yay!
