Over the past few months I’ve gotten a few anonymous asks that I haven’t felt comfortable answering. It’s not really a big deal but I wanted to address my ask box policy just to have it out there.
I love getting messages and I love talking about myself (obviously, given how many of those survey things I reblog). Mostly I have no qualms about replying to anything that comes my way. That said, I know a lot of people have an entirely open-door policy and will respond to just about anything, and I can’t say the same. As much as I have no problem discussing sex and perving with the best of them in the context of fandom, frankly, I’m not comfortable detailing some aspects of my own life and habits in a public forum (which is a big part of why I don’t really participate in TMI Tuesday). I get that people are curious - I certainly am - but I don’t see any reason to share intimate personal details where anyone can read them and when I don’t even know who’s asking. Basically, if you’re someone that I’d be willing to share that info with, I’m going to assume you have better and more private means of contacting me.
Anyway, this isn’t to discourage anon messages or even pervy/personal ones, because I’m generally pretty open and appreciate 99% of the ones that I get. I just wanted to explain why I may not respond to everything that comes my way. Basically I’m kind of a prude.
(I’m also crap at remembering to reply to everything - I’ll start thinking about an answer and mean to return to it later but suddenly a week has gone by. So that’s just me being an idiot.)
