DEAR NORFINBURY

Hello, everyone. Welcome to "Dear Norfinbury," an advice column created by yours truly. Got a burning question you want a second opinion on? Need advice for a situation or problem? Having relationship troubles that you could use some help ironing out?

You've come to the right place here! This forum has been created to allow people to solicit advice from the general populace of Norfinbury for any and all questions you might have!

But wait, you say. You have questions, but you don't want to attach your name to them. How can you safely post and have discussions when there's no anonymous function on these tablets?

That's where I come in!

Simply send your submission and any subsequent responses you want to keep anonymous to @standardissue, and I will post them for you here, removing any mention of your name. You have my word that I will keep your confidence, on my SOLDIER honor! Try to be courteous to each other, but know that I won't alter any responses beyond the requirements of anonymity.

[OOC: Okay, so here's how this works! Anyone who wants to submit something to the column can reply to the SUBMISSIONS thread. The Submissions thread is public, just helps separate the genuine requests from everything else that will no doubt get posted here. If you want a submission or a reply to be ANONYMOUS, please mark it as such in your subject line. Just to be clear, though, any and all "anonymous" submissions have to pass through Kunsel's hands. That part can be handwaved, so you guys don't necessarily need MY involvement to tag back and forth. I promise he will dutifully reproduce every word that gets sent, minus the poster's name. Just keep in mind that Kunsel technically is involved in every anonymous posting, and that all anonymous posts will appear to be sent by @standardissue.

Also, he won't step in and cut off any anonymous threads unless I'm either specifically asked, or unless things escalate wildly. E.g. if you think your character is going to start sending anonymous death threats, Kunsel might object to posting that. Mostly, I don't want to interfere with threads if I can at all avoid it, but use your judgment here and contact me if you think it should come to that. o/ I am available through PM or through plurk at

nivisecond.

Of course, I'm under no illusions as to how well this whole idea is going to go off. If this whole thing goes up in flames and never actually gets around to any advice, it will come as no surprise. :3

Just have fun with it, everyone!]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Of course not.

That's good.

Just remember that if you get a text asking for advice in the middle of the night.

[ Oh, she's being impish now. ]

You say that like I sleep at night.

You know, considering the topic of this conversation, I might not want to know why you don't sleep at night.

[ Hey, she may never had had a boyfriend, but that doesn't mean she's entirely ignorant... ]

[ Not what she meant, but ]

can neither confirm nor deny

[ Can you blame her, though? ]

Yeah, that's what I thought. You wouldn't mind me asking for advice about that, too would you?

[ Is she joking? Probably... ]

Not at all. I live to embarrass people, I'm immune to it myself.

Why am I not surprised by this?

Because you can recognize patterns.

I don't know... Sometimes I wonder about that. I am stubborn, you know.

[ She's obviously joking...but not about being stubborn. ]

Stubborn about patterns?

No. Stubborn about not recognizing patterns at times.

Not to be overly mean but maybe that's why you don't have a boyfriend.

Nah. That's not mean, but I know why I don't have a boyfriend. Well--at home, at least.

And trust me, here, I've read some pretty clear signals, so I'm curious as to what I'm doing wrong to get them.
