@Nasiim22 Tagging games - I used to take part because I don't want to seem unsociable but they mess up your notifications for days. Honestly, Twitter, I don't need notifications for every single response !?! 🤔

@HunterDPhoenix It's reasonably common in London, though it's only come back into common usage in the past 10 years or so.

Do people outside Scotland say that they’re absolutely “vexed”?? As in saying you’re absolutely fucked off & frustrated. I like the word vexed & was just wondering if yous world folk will get its meaning & powerful emphasis or if it’s just a Scottish or Hunter thing #AmWriting🤔

@detective26AD I didn't like the remake of Watership Down and thought season 2 of Handmaids Tale was unnecessary. But they didn't ruin it; I ignore the remakes / seasons I didn't like.

Has a reboot, remake, sequel, or prequel ever ruin a movie for you?

@VivWrites Ooh interesting! I have some elderflower chocolate brought back from holiday. Not tried it yet, though!

@EliAllison3 That makes two of us - though I'm conscious this sort of talk amounts to heresy in some quarters! 🙂

@EliAllison3 That sort of fantasy doesn't appeal to me, either. I eventually read Lord of the Rings but found it a slog and wondered what all the fuss was about!

@EliAllison3 Indeed - rules are essential for magic to make it plausible. Can't stand 'get out of jail free' magic - that's probably why I'm a little cautious of stories with it.

@EliAllison3 I loved the film and the TV series. I'm now at the point where the driving force is apparent. I didn't initially warm to the characters at first but Boots is growing on me. (Could see this working well as a film along the lines of Guardians of the Galaxy 🙂)

@EliAllison3 (C) I was a worried about the magic, but in the story it works like a different form of energy & fits. I also think there are more 'fantasy' elements in the story e.g. Nilah = princess; Carre with its royals. Won't answer second part as I'm only partway through 🙁

@EliAllison3 Here goes - (A) I was looking forward to this (Firefly in book form? Yes please!) but found the first 100 pages or so tough going. I struggled to get a sense of the characters at first, but I'm now getting more involved in the story. (B) Boots is my favourite character so far /1

First, the countless hours working on what to tweet and when to tweet it. Then all the money wasted on social media analytics. Finally the virgin sacrifices, until local vampires threatened to call the police. But whatever she did, the Algorithm remained a #mystery. #vss365

@demi_writer @pughmds Aha! All is revealed (I guessed it was a food but that's as far as I got). Though as I'm gluten-free they're out for me. It's possible to get gluten-free biscuits but they tend to be rather dry ☹

@KarenBooth5 @pughmds Oh I have always wanted to try s'mores. Melty marshmallow, melty chocolate, smeared between biscuits? I think it would be particularly beautiful with a digestive...

#WritingCommunity where am I going wrong? 90% of my tweets struggle to find engagement. Generally less than 10 likes... Some get nothing at all. Over 3k people supposedly following me and yet no one wants to say hi? 🤷🏼‍♀️

@pughmds @demi_writer It is frustrating - particularly when someone posts something bland which gets hundreds of likes! And some discussions are so American I'm completely lost.🤔 (Me: what are s'mores?)

@KarenBooth5 @demi_writer That's the problem why engagement doesn't happen with mine and others' tweets. It's the default setting so unless you're willing to be up at all hours trying to get people to interact and skew it to your favor, which I'm not doing, it's tough to break through
