If ever I don’t respond to a message or IM. Please do not feel bad!
I ignore everyone equally.
I’M SORRY! m(_ _)m
It simply means that I intend to get back to you later and have forgotten/your message is buried under many new ones. It is nothing personal.
My inbox (collective between my three blogs) has almost 200 messages. I truly mean to respond to each message, but often I am distracted and forget.
As with IMs, the rule of thumb is that I keep them on in the background. So often I will be working/drawing/playing games/browsing tumblr while online. This is why often you may send me a message, but I will be slow to reply or may not reply at all. It is simply that I am “afk.” And I will get whatever messages you send later, but sometimes much later.
Please don’t be afraid to contact me, and if it seems I may have forgotten your message, it is okay to send it again (not applicable with asks for Jace, as I will get to all of those… eventually).
Trust me, I do this with all phone messages too. It drives people insane.
