NO slapped wrists if they write porn. I'm easy, what can I say?!

[Elle]

And I admit I ignore most writer-related posts in the Morning/Grumpy/Any thread.

I'm horrible aren't I?

[Stuart]

Well I like you!

[Elle]

Thank you :D!

[Elle]

Ahahahaha!!

[R.M.F.]

Drop and runs? Is that a description for the winter vomiting bug? :)

On a more serious note, they are annoying, but I'll bet most people ignore them anyway.

That is wrong;)

[Patti (baconater)]

Yeah, but you know our Ignite, Alexandra.

Chicken fixation.

[Will]

Always keep an eye an her if she has a handful of sage and onion, too.

[A.L.]

Lol.

[R.J.]

Ach, I give up. I still don't know what a drop and run is. And now I don't care.

I see Newcastle got a SPANKING today.

A drop and run is when someone plonks a book promo in the middle of a thread where it doesn't belong and doesn't come back to see what happens.

[Katie]

Or even in the New Releases thread, I think?

[Patti (baconater)]

Or anywhere.

Look through the author threads and see how many have never been returned to.

I'm going to give them a good cleaning out this month, I think.

It's not fair on the authors who add value to he group to have them lumped in with the drop n runs, I reckon.

[A.L.]

Yeah. Although to be fair it took me ages to find my promo post.

Lol on the KDP forums the other week some new guy had answered every post asking for help or discussing issues with his promo post. It was really annoying. Not even a hello or just in one thread. They got deleted by admin in the end.

Hello, Sin Bin my old friend.
It's good to be with you again...

[Kath]

Ah, that's just the Merlot talking/singing!

Lol.

I can understand that, especially if one is new to Goodreads. And we're always happy to help people find their way around, of course.

[D.M. Andrews (author)]

It's been very difficult for me not to try a drop-and-run on this thread. So tempting...

My self-restraint is legendary ;)

*snigger*

[Patti (baconater)]

Dont even try it Darren.

If you dropped a link like this

http://www.amazon.co.uk/D.M.-Andrews/...

I'd have to spank you.

Then all the other authors would be jealous.

[D.M. Andrews (author)]

tehe. It's OK, I started a whole new thread instead ;)

[Jim]

I'm sorry but I still think he looks like a dark lord! :-))

Just how dark? Are there 50 shades of Dark?

I'm hoping someone starts a whole new thread on the issue on drop n puns.

That would sew no knot be good.

[D.M. Andrews (author)]

*Groans*

(followed by Mwuhahahaha to keep up dark lord persona)

[Patti (baconater)]

Stringing us along?

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

This thread is hanging by a thread.

[Patti (baconater)]

Should stick a pin in it.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

In what?

[Patti (baconater)]

I'd tell you but it wouldn't be seamly.

[Marc]

pinning my hopes that the thread doesn't unravel

[Patti (baconater)]

You lot are just trying to get me all wound up now.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Being polite, I won't tell you to get knotted.

[Patti (baconater)]

We'd miss the point anyway.

[Rosemary (grooving with the Picts)]

Get thee all to the pun thread!

[Donna]

Hello, everyone. I'm here to say I'm not the kind of person who "drops n runs." Sadly, that's all I have to say right now. Got to run. But I'll be back, if you'll have me.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Well if you have dropped chocolate, you'll be fine!

[Marc]

I should bleeding cocoa

[Jay-me (Janet)]

I've got chocolate. Mini toblerones. I'm not intending dropping them.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

I have a Caramac bar. I intend to savour it.

No runs.

Ladders?

[Marc]

snakes in the grass

[Patti (baconater)]

Weedy

[Marc]

in a bind?

[Patti (baconater)]

Groping

[Will]

I dropped, so I ran. Sorry.

[D.M. Andrews (author)]

Not snakes in the grass, Marc ... serpents in the glass ;)

Ooh, I'd forgotten about Caramac. YUM.

Prefer cadbury's caramel. Oh that reminds me I have giant choc buttons.
