It is so easy to participate:



1. You must have a twitter account. Go to www.twitter.com if you need 2 sign up. Once u have your twitter account, go to your twitter home page and "find people" and "favorite" the following:

* @TwiReadAlong

* @angela4148

* @carolamex



2. Now, go to your twitter home page. On the right hand side, you will see a spot that you can "search". Enter #readalong and save it. This will become clickable and show up under "saved searches" on your twitter home page. You will find this #readalong to the right of your screen.



3. During the readalong, you will not view the tweets on your "home" screen, because you won't see what everyone is saying. You must click on the saved search #readalong & remember to hit "refresh" to update your screen.



4. When you tweet, you have to type: #readalong (with the hashmarks) then you can just type whatever.... By typing #readalong, it puts your post on the #readalong page so others who are parcipating can read what you are posting and vice versa.



A sample tweet is: #readalong "And with a gentle rocking motion, they made love." Love it!!



5. At the start time you can begin posting about the story if you've already begun the first chapter. You can tweet about whatever, ask questions, whatever you want. Have fun and don't forget to leave a review for every chapter.

I say Boo to You!!!!!

So I usually say my peace directly on twitter and move on but something has been bothering me for a long time. There was a tweet made while I was discussing my bulimia with someone that said (paraphrasing) “To fake an illness to get your story attention is pathetic”. I think that it’s PATHETIC to attack other authors with LIES. I also think that it’s PATHETIC to constantly bash people for reasons that are invalid and extremely unnecessary. If you have an issue with an author then put it in a PM or a DM. Keep the negative bullshit in private so that this fandom doesn’t feel so fucking catty all the time. I’m over the bitching back and forth over stupid shit. There are not many authors that are good enough to get published, that’s just the truth. We do this for fun. Twitter and Twi Fandom take us away from the stress of real life. These people suck the fun out of it hardcore!!! Anyway I know I’m like two days late for this but I needed to say it. *takes deep breath* I feel better now! :o)
