Apparently, it's my turn to get hit by one of those weirdo scammers that went after Murder moogle on ff. net. (I'm thinking I'm not even going to bother replying. It's been long enough since I've logged into there, I'd need to try to remember what my password even is, anyway.)

what message did they send you?

Hi Author, I hope you're fine. I'm Lorena . I read (A Christmas Visitor) and loved it. I'm thinking about enhancing it with some art.

You see why I went 'yep, weirdo scam'.

yep

yup

that looks very similar indeed

I'm. Not sure what they were expecting, hitting up someone who hadn't posted any fic there in ooh, 15 years at least? XD

And that fic was written when I was a teenager, I'm pretty sure.

I actually suspect it was a bot with (fill in the blank) instructions

given the use of parenthesis in both yours and mine

and the bot wouldn't notice or care how long it's been since you posted something

I haven't posted something to my account in many years either

(I've outright stated "this account is dead" in my profile)

I every once in a blue moon go back there to bingeread a LOTR fic and its sequel. Other than that? Nope.

oh? which LOTR fic?

if it's good enough to get you to go back to FFN, might be something that would appeal to me too. :|a

https://www.fanfiction.net/... It's a 'girl woman wakes up in Middle Earth... and has to deal with shit realistically' thing.

oh I do like that one

thanks!
