the goblin showed up

[fleamailman]

"...hi..." said the goblin, wondering if he'd even come to the right place is, his thoughts were more on the coffee machine at this point, but he just continued "...well there's not really much to say about me, married with kids I suppose, that's me then..." and then something crossed his mind  "...you see, the trouble in ones introduction is simply, if you don't meet the other person, there's absolutely no way to prove anything anyway since these are just words here, and the reader is blind, I mean anyone of us could be just anything then, who knows I could even be a human for that matter MYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, no no just joking, thought it was funny though..."

Hello Fleamen, if there is another like you I don't know about, you are our third person who speaks third person.
You might understand what I mean when you meet Jats.
He likes penguins and animations also.

Green lizards with creepy smiles. Likes those too.

("...JATS is one of the best livewriters out there..." mentioned the goblin now, adding "...his posts are always are good read...")

Wut.  

[wildfire_emissary]

Just like Flog and Squee. Ahoy!

[The Magic Pudding]

Wut.  

An incisive question.
I'm wondering about multi personality disorders.
It wouldn't be much use having multiple personalities if they were all the same, would it?

"...ah no, JATS is very much JATS, where admittedly there is a similarity in the writing style, but his posts are very different as you will soon see..." observed the goblin again not sure if he should be divulging concepts so soon after joining now, but adding "...basically there's an undercurrent within the published writing world that one has to write in this or that set way, in proper english perhaps, that then turns most writers on the internet into perfect clones of one another reflected in their need of a username, avatar, and signature to all tell them apart, but livewriters on the other hand need none of those props as they perfect their persona into something unique of themselves, which gives them the second advantage of anonymity here...", and with that the text was complete but the goblin still needed a picture here, no not so much for the reader now, more because, if he added a picture to the text each time, then an illustrator's eye would grow from it, concluding "...think of me as your friend then, not as an atheist, more as a simple heretic towards the establishment..."

Should we expect a third similarly styled refugee, seeking asylum from harsh cyber literary critics?
This is a daunting prospect, but possibly an appropriate number.

"...um, there are quite a few of them I know, and I will pass the word where welcome now..." replied the goblin again, adding "...but actually we're just posters like anyone else I guess...", at which point the goblin cleared his throat and went MYAHAHAHA again as if to prove it to himself once more, continuing "...simply one opens the slot and writes something within it, a practice like "facing the slot" then, no more like a habit perhaps, no big deal really, but then again perhaps too, it's the only deal going now, for ask yourself what do you want in return from forumland for your being on it now..."

@Goblin I have only read a few of your posts so far, but I find you thoroughly entertaining.  What in the world possessed you to begin posting forum entries in this form?  I mean that in a good way, though it may come off as rash; because as you mentioned...we are anonymous, and vocal intonation is sometimes impossible to detect.

"...JATS the chameleon is an interesting livewriter is he not, his being here was enough to sway me then..." replied the goblin, turning to the second question then, answering "...at its base, what makes someone a livewriter it not his namesake, though it is true this is "live" now, no, a livewriter needs to repost across forums in an air/edit/backup context, where a normal poster like yourself perhaps would only post something once...", and then the goblin realized that a line might help here, adding "...you feed me your posts, I then feed the slot here, and around it goes, so by this the line goes  "writers write, readers read, where livewriters feed", if only because you fed me my thoughts here..."

Fantastic.  Well, I now feel obliged to keep your mental belly full and satisfied.

"...thanks, if you ever need a post to your thread then, give me a buzz, I'll contribute where I can..." replied the goblin
