emmuzkaSo this happened. The page change alert informed me that the page for Chris' band, Little Red Monsters , had changed. And hey! It was! Not much content, but the layout was there. I wanted to be "smart" and be the first at something this one time and posted the information at JJB, the Nsync message board. The thread dried out almost instantly, but, whatever.
Anyway, a short time later I found that a popular livejournalist had posted the same information and credited me. Hey, it felt nice, but the "emmuzka from jjb" also produced some connotations that I did not need, since I don't want to be known as a JJB poster (half of the fans on JJB are psychos, I tell you.) Today, I found out that the same info was in the Chris Kirkpatrick fan site and again, I'm credited with the "at JJB" appendix. Argh! My net personality is not a JJB psycho, it's not!
This happened with a bad timing, since the JJB is in a really bad light right now. The same livejournalist that credited me wrote a lenghty entry about what her friend have seen at the CFTC. And surprise, someone without asking copied it and pasted it on the JJB. There was some information that every fan was not liking a bit and she was accused being a liar, etc. In the end, she friendslocked her entry. (she has not marked me as her friend so I had to go to the JJB to find out what had happened after I found the notification of the locked entry. In the fandom, you shall not sleep or you miss things.)
It's probably all in my head, anyway. I'm not big in the community, but it's not about what it *really* looks like, it's about me waking up to notice that things like these could be crucial at some point. What ever you write, someone can save it, quote it, credit or noncredit you, and even *where* you post matters. So, in the future, no more posting to get the instant gratification if not prepared to find your name at places or, in other cases, getting shit for it.
