I need to get to know some other people....

Make sure to remember that not all of your online friends are erotica writers like yourself. That way, when a friend who is travelling sends you the IM from the airport, "Morning/Afternoon?", your first reaction will be that they aren't sure what time it is where you are, NOT that they're asking if you'll write a flash fiction about Morning having drunken sex with Afternoon. #LFMF
