So, Misty was kind enough to offer me some writing fodder, and asked if I preferred anticipation or surprise, or if my preferences were situation dependent.
Hmmmm...It's kind of situation dependent.
I mean, in the moment, I love anticipation. If it's more of a long term thing, like say, hours (Iknowlol), I'm not a big fan.
I kind of like not knowing what's coming. In the moment, there's nothing quite as hot as waiting for...Odd for me, I suppose, since patience isn't my strong point, but this kind of waiting isn't optional, and that lack of options is hot too--knowing something is coming and there's not a damn thing I can do about it.
Surprise though...Dunno, it feeds that part of me that gets off on the rush, that little fear junky who needs her fix...Surprises can be so deliciously scary...Yea, I like surprises too. Just not so much in day-to-day life. I prefer my surprises to be confined to D/s stuff.

I'm back and forth on this. Sometimes I like them, sometimes I don't. Being the overthinker I am, I think I would choose surprise over anticipation. But anticipation can be nice too...
ReplyDeleteMaster likes me to be on the receiving end of anticipation, he makes me wait days (like with the hook) and it's just...so unfair lol
Misty,
Deletesee, all you have to do is think about it too much, and you'll end up switching back and forth so much, that you'll give up and love/hate them both equally!
lil, I had that problem too with spam comments on a certain post. Hermione suggested I don't allow comments after three days and it cut it out completely. You might want to give it a try.
ReplyDeletesunnygirl,
DeleteI did consider doing something like that, but I do sometimes get comments/questions on those older posts, and I hate to close that communication off.
What I meant to say was on posts older than three days.
ReplyDeleteIt is, i agree situation dependent, i do love the build up, the excitement, the wandering what he has planned...umm but i also hate it lol
ReplyDeleteSometimes i prefer to know (if he tells me!) and then i wish i didnt!

tori,
Deletegood to see you!
Lol, yes, it's one of those love/hate things isn't it?
I always want to know...But then, I can't un-know...
Hi Lil, I'm having the same issue with spam comments on one particular post at the moment too.
ReplyDeleteI'm mixed on this too. I like the anticipation ... and I don't lol.

Roz,
Deleteodd how they seem to fixate on one particular post, isn't it?
I have a feeling that I'll probably waffle back and forth on this one forever, lol.
If you're having a problem with one particular post, you can switch off the comments for that post. I've noticed since my blog is not longer searchable by google, I don't get spam comments hardly at all. Unfortunately, wannabe subs won't find you either, which would be a pity.
ReplyDeleteDelFonte,
DeleteI considered that too. Unfortunately it's that one post that still seems to draw the newbies comments/questions even after more than a year, and I hate to shut them down. I'm hoping that I can keep the word verification for a while and they'll get bored and give up. One can always dream, right?
Lil,
ReplyDeleteHmmm...I don't know.
A huge part of me, wants to, needs to know what happens next! I want a plan for everything but the other part of me, thrives on the unexpected and loves to be taken by surprise...hmmm...
Oh, and the word verification? Seriously not a big deal.
Bleuame,
Deletegood thing we don't have to choose just one, huh?
I have noticed that the word verifications haven't been too bad lately. For a while they were all these horrible fuzzy letters that I couldn't read lol.
Thank you.
