Wow, it's a great site. I love the stalker line!

I really like the idea behind it and the really cool stuff that's made.It is too much fun. Seriously. Discovering steampunk made me feel the way I did on my 10th birthday when my Dad gave me
(and the rest of the series) - as if I'd been given the secret key to enter another world.
@Jen Thank you for the follow and the nice compliment =) And yes, writing consist of having stalker qualities (the good king lol). I post reviews, author interviews, guest blogs, and information for authors. I also post everything I do for Open Book Society on there (a site I write for).~Annabell
@BJ Steampunk does seem like a ton of fun! I have no idea how to make so many of the cool things I've seen but it looks very intricate. And I LOOOOOVE Chronicls of Narnia!! The books and the movies. I have seen them many times and have yet to get tired of them =)~Annabell
I just followed you and friended you and am just now figuring out how to visit this group :D
Ok I have to ask, because we do the following forums and the networking, I have to ask. How Far do you think is too far to go when trying to gain followers to your blog? I just got a direct message on Twitter from someone I've never encountered before at any of the groups or blogs I stopped by. Her message was "You seem fascinating! Visit my blog INSERT ADDRESS HERE I love staying connected with peeps there!" I didn't include the blog address in case she actually is a member someplace I hang out.
As far as I know she found me solely through Twitter and has never even been to my blog and while you can make the occasional amusing post on Twitter, it doesn't really allow you enough characters for anyone to have any idea of whether you're "fascinating" or not.
The message wasn't something that made me want to go follow her blog, it made me wonder if I needed a restraining order. I'd more expect a message like that from a stalker than from a legitimate blogger trying to gain followers for her blog. I'll admit I looked at the site. She's some indie author but imo she's trying to gain followers in all the wrong ways. After a message like that I think if she contacted me for a review she'd be the first person ever I'd tell I wouldn't review for her. The twitter message seriously creeped me out. I'm fascinating?! I mean it wouldn't bother me if she said a review or a post was fascinating or even an idea, but she doesn't know me from Adam so I really don't like the idea of some random chick I don't know calling me fascinating. And even if she was referring to something in particular I'd be a whole lot more comfortable with a comment on my blog than a direct message on Twitter.
So do you think I'm being paranoid or would a message like that creep you out and do you think it cross a line in an attempt to gain blog followers or am I just being picky?
No! I got one this morning too! I check your inbox I sent it to you!
Lol, I didnt mean that I checked your inbox, I meant to say you check your inbox. Now I sound like a stalker. Lol.
You ALL sound fascinating to me, mwa ha ha. :D
Ok. I just had to post since we all have the same name. I find it fascinating! We are besties now, right?!?!
Hehe.
It's fascinating we're all named Jen! ;)
Of course we're all besties! Now let's take over the world! ;)
Sounds like a good plan...Jen's rule the world!
We've started here at creative reviews it seems.....where to next?
LOL. Jenn I get messages like that sometimes...but they have all been from men. It is creepy. They all say something like "i like your picture" or "You write well" one guy left a message on my blog (Mr.Lonely - and no i am not kidding) and asked me to follow his blog called the growing teenager diary or something....it was weird.I got this one one time that the guy told me he liked my maturity and would I be interested in getting to know him?? ?????
I usually ignore that stuff and hope it goes away. my husband isn't too thrilled though.
Anyway, i think messages like the one you got go a little too far. She could have worded it different but probably wasn't sure how. I try not to advertise my blog all over just on here and i put my link in one of my reviews on JournalStone the other day, but those are places that I am usually always around so the people are familar with me anyway, you know?
i would never just message someone (or tweet-i don't have twitter) that i didn't know and ask them to follow....but that's just me. :)

The email I got was from someone wanting me to reply directly to their email and not here on goodreads where she supposedly found me. Her name could not be found on here. My first thought was ....VIRUS
YUCK! Run far away from that!!! People can be so strange at times.And i checked out that mr lonley's blog and it was soo strange. he puts pic up of everything he eats it seems like. LOL
I got an email today from someone who thought I was "interesting". They then provided a link to a UK newspaper article about belly button lint. I kid you not. I left it in the junk folder and DID NOT click the link.
Everyone should be careful, but most of that stuff is simple spam.

Man, that is so gross!!! EW. And yes, there is spam everywhere and since my last debacle with hackers I will not even look at that stuff anymore. If i don't recognize your name you can forget it! LOL
Lol, belly button lint and pictures of eaten food. I freakin love you guys!No this chick was reminiscent of a hippie and wanted to send me some of her fab photos. I can only guess what they are.
Probably weird photos of her belly button lint next to her lunch! LOL
Were any of the other questionable emails from "Sandrine"?I just noticed that the email I got DID mention photos that person wanted to send me...
I can post if here (copy/paste of text) if it helps anyone.
