But oh well. And like I said, the problem I faced specifically wasn't just that there's a stalker element to the whole thing, but there was really no way to <b>not</b> sound like a crazed stalker type in only 255 characters (Which is a lot less than it seems like).

I put up sites to help with my book sales and stay in touch with interested folks, but I've found it to be a weird experience overall. Since I'm not a stalker nor am I particularly stalk-worthy, there's not really an angle like that for me but I've had a few odd request from people I actually knew nad was never friends with in my youth, let alone now-- weird.
