Haha...that wasn't a sock mate...that was barely a stocking! Haha
Thanks for your support and yeah, it seems I've been banned from one section of those posts now at the very top of the top of the front page...ahh well, not to worry. My voice shall live on in mute! LMAO (nothing to do with THIS write though) This was another one I had in my sites! LOL
Thanks Shazza
Cheers Phillippa

This is a good poem my friend and I agree with you a fan base is nice but only in the fact that someone likes my work what's the point if they don't thank you for sharing

Ah, thanks dmt. Yes I don't want ANY fans who aren't legit. I wouldn't dream of persecuting them with my brand of humour unless they're completely devoted! Haha
Cheers P

select a category to reveal to you my admiration of
your creations. I will make it known to you through
my response to you. ~ Phillippa * I'm a Fan ~

Comment from ravenblack
With you all the way on this one. I used to fan back as a courtesy but now am more selective. Got tired of reviewing a bunched of fanned stuff w/ out being reviewed back. Or when I'd speak the truth about a piece- oh no, can't do that. And as regards to the visa gold players on the top 12 ( some of them)- when you are watching a game, the bleachers are better than box seats anyway. They cost less and are a far more accurate slice of humanity than having to pay for the priveledge of sitting insulated on high, waiting for accolades 'cause it pays well.

LOL I felt a little obliged when I first started to fan people back but not without checking work out first. With that said I resent people ASKING or automatically expecting it. We're all here for a reason, time pending or time to burn, its OUR choice, each and every one of us what we frickin well do with it.
I totally agree with your review and I love your writes too...unique, quirky, not afraid to jump right out of the box with your own style...Love it.

Comment from Margaret Snowdon
I applaud you for this, my friend...
well said -- I'm guilty of obliging
someone who asked, but have since
corrected that -- and never again!!
I will fan whoever's work I admire -
for that reason only.
A great flowing poem sending out a clear message.

Thanks very much Marg. Yep, you shouldn't feel obliged. Unfortunately many do, then they find they are reviewing crap they didn't want to read.
Cheers P

Fuck you Bunny!
I was just thinking of a song that rhymed with that. Nothing personal, I just like to rhyme.
Whatever lol. You are a controversial one, I'll give you that. I just became a fan cause I thought you were Smokin hot. Then it occurred to me you lived on the other side of the planet and married.
Now I know this isn't what you want to hear, but on top of that your writing is highly entertaining, fluid, and professional. Which reminds me -did you send me my book? I sent mine, as you know.
Very nice Bunns
There's a double entendre for ya haha

Comment from sweetwoodjax
this is very well written, closetpoetjester, you did an excellent job writing this poem about the expected return policity of fanship. i feel bad when i don't fan someone back but i have over 200 fans and i'm lucky to get 25 reviews so fanship is not all it's made up to be. my pet peeve is when someone who shall remain nameless encourages you to buy their book of poems everytime you review them or alvin saying you need to take my class to learn true haiku because the contest committee is not promoting haiku, it's 5 7 5.

Thanks jax, I know what you mean about the enormous amount and pittance of reviews that stack up. I think MANY come and go at the moment but you can't blame them! LOL
I know what you mean about the nameless thingy...that gives me the shits a bit at times too.
Exceptional review, thankyou my friend.
Cheers closet

Well, dear Phillippa, you must know how much I appreciate this piece of writing from you. You express your feelings eloquently in this bit shy rant (I know what you are capable of doing!). Great piece of writing, and great advice. Hugs, Sue

Yes, Sue I guess it was a little coy of me but I just didn't want to come out with both guns blazing. As steamed as I was with this person, I didn't feel they needed the brunt of my anger, just a straightforward explanation. Thought I might aswell cull any notwannabe fans while I was there. I appreciate the sixer my friend. Have a great day.
Hugs Phillippa

PS I got an acceptance slip from an ezine...YAY! I even get a little bit of money for it...YAY again!
Comment from Jaq Cee
Lol Pip this is a very strong and straightforward message. Delivered eloquently :). I fan mostly on recommendation BUT only if I enjoy the work. I never expect reciprocal fans. That's not the most honest way to be. Well said girlie xx

Thanks mate. Yep, thats me...boldly going where no man has gone before! LOL No sure about eloquently but I get steamed now and again and I guess this is the "now"...haha
I believe you earn your fans fair and square...thats how I look at it. Unfortunately we don't always get the time to check out everyones work and quite possibly miss fanning some beaut writers..it IS just a matter of time before you meet up with the right people. Cheers P x

It is indeed P of you are meant to cross paths you will. Eloquently forthright is how I see your poem today :) take care xx
Comment from Joy Graham
Haha! I like your bold approach to this subject. I'm no pushover when it comes to fanning and reviewing. I only review the stuff I find a connection with. I only fan if I like their writing style. I don't review everything I read. That's just my style. Folks can take it or leave it but that's my style. I review like I am shopping in a book store. I don't send letters off to the authors whose book I choose not to buy.
lLOL!!! I'm stepping down from my soap box now:)
