I want to introduce y'all to this author on BC. She's a damn good writer and has penned some really good stories that are posted here. She's even got a story/novel on Amazon. Who is this paragon, you may be asking?

Why none other than Karin Bishop!

Now, most everybody reading this is probably going "Huh?" Well, let me make something clear. She is not me, I'm Karen J. She's not Karen Elizabeth L. She's not Karen Page, or Karen West. She is not Karen with an "e", she is Karin with an "i". Yet more than a few of you want to credit Karen with an "e". I feel anybody writing the quality of stories she is writing deserves to be given proper credit. Which means at the very least using her name to thank her, not somebody else's.

I expect she has been too polite to say anything. But by now, y'all ought to know I don't do self-effacing very well. (LOL!) So, out of respect for her, how about using her proper name. Can't be that difficult, can it?

BTW, a big Thank You to Karin (Bishop) for all the fun stories you've posted!

It's the thought that counts Karen

I think the fact that someone takes the time to comment on a story is thanks enough. most readers fail to click the good story button, never mind taking the time to type out a comment thanking the writer for spending their time writing it. I'm also sure that if Karin was that bothered, she'd have commented herself.
I'd be happy to live with people spelling my name wrong if I got the responce to my stories that Karin gets *giggle*

Well . . .

My thoughts are respect and politness.

Respect and Politness?

Maybe it would have been better if you'd thought of that before posting a blog entry making a mountain out of nothing. A simple PM to the reader that made the simple mistake why trying to leave a nice comment for Karin's latest story would have been better.
Showing the reader Respect and Politness is the only way to go, because without them, what is the point of us writing our stories in the first place?
I'm also sure that if Karin had such a big problem with people spelling her name wrong, then she's more than able to post a blog entry of her own asking for the readers to spell it right.

What can I Say?

I will say one thing though, her latest story on Amazon is great and I recommend for good reading and a good story too (Note: If you don't have a Kindle, download the APP for PCs there and then download the version for kindle!)

..."I'm sorry, 'Drea, but that's already been called!" You're quite right, she does deserve that respect, and really it's nice to honor her unique and increasingly prolific contributions here by recognizing her name as well as her talent. Thanks to Karin and thank you as well, Karen!
