I got a huge email from a publisher today! They are interested in my first ever book!
It took about 3.5 years to write, but I am screaming with excitement. Now it's time for me to edit the fuck out of it!

When you see that the package says it HAS been delivered and they still haven't found it
Sionas
Hope they are okay and get back to you

@thebirdbiologist hasn't posted anything for a few days. Maybe thy haven't been on yet?
zapsinherpants
Mine was delivered but I'm not home until tomorrow!!! Ahhh!!!
mrpink83
My mail gets delivered every few days, so maybe they're in the same boat @OP ?
popau
Doesn't mean they can't reply "hey I haven't got it yet"
Zeeshie
Omg i am moist for you! I'd love to be published except im not writing anything nor do I think I ever will but one can dream.
applesandlemons
Maybe they died!
thebirdbiologist
@OP sorry! I haven't been able to spend much time on Imgur lately and didn't see your username in the 1/?
thebirdbiologist

Fayeste

it is the 7th (SEVENTH) of Dec. It is not yet Christmas. Gah!
SimoHayhaWhiteDeath
Correct me if I'm wrong, it's about making someone's day/holiday. Not about satisfying you or your ego. "Give for the right reasons."
SuckAnElf
Yeah but say I send a gift via amazon. It says delivered. Recipient never got it. Reports gifter as non sender. Gifter is blacklisted. 1/2
SuckAnElf
All gifter would've had to do was have amazon resend it because they're good about that kind of thing. All that's needed is a 2/3
SuckAnElf
quick pm/post saying gift was received. It's part of the deal when you sign up. Also good etiquette to says thanks for a gift regardless 3/3
fantasticalunicorn
Yeah, tracking told me my gift last year was delivered but I never got a message or anything about it, was pretty bummed
DrWhoodles
Same thing happened to me, never heard back. Also never got a gift. Did do a regift and they posted what I got them.
SuckAnElf
@kioleesh was the person I sent gift to last year never sent a message or posted or anything. Fuck you @kioleesh! Doubt he anything either.
SuckAnElf
Dammit, doubt he sent anything either.
Dadoo158
I stalked the person i gifted and with no responses for months i went through and downvoted EVERYTHING they had uploaded or commented on. HA
GulDukatja
Me three. I had to hound the person until they replied.
ImDoneLetsDance
Last year I never even got a gift. ????
jamberry
Me neither and I sent tooooons of candy as requested.
ImDoneLetsDance
I homemade mine a scarf and hat combo. I was just kinda disappointed.
fantasticalunicorn
Me either ._. I sent sweets taytos and books they said they liked last year. But sent it from Ireland to the USA and got no reply D:

"I did something nice just because I'm such a nice guy and now I fucking demand some public fucking gratitude."
SomethingWittyIDK
Seriously. Every year there's shit about this. And then the "I just got shit but I sent out a solid gold whatever and now I'm angry" posts.
SuckAnElf
You're supposed to post or message that the gift was received it's part of the deal. It's called being a decent fucking human being.
moxymox
Agreed. This is some fucked-up #FirstWorldProblems right here.
textilelover
I don't think they asked for a public response. Just a "got it!" pm would probably be fine.
NOINOON
And that's exactly why @OP sent a private message.
moxymox
Let's real quick do the "public post" or "private message" test to determine if this was a public post.
textilelover
This was a public post, but op didn't demand a public reply. I'm not sure how that's asking for public gratitude.
moxymox
error: your search criteria is too narrow
textilelover
Perhaps "asking for public acknowledgement of a good deed", but that's not gratitude. Your search term returned no results
randelung
My recipient hasn't even answered my initial contact... I'm just going with "probably only on mobile" and sending what I think fits...
auraraa
My ss doesn't have any info on their bio and I haven't had a reply at all.. not really sure what to send !
mouse25
My problem too. I already ordered their gift... so I hope they like it. Did the best I could because their interests were tough for me!
Jojoxoe
same here :(
imnotemmawatson
I have the same problem. It sucks
GulDukatja
My recipient must have changed his username, since what's in the email doesn't work. :\
mouse25
The user name for my SS never came up. Figured out they left out a letter when filling out the form. Hoping it really is the right person.
chinchillajaw
I'm on android mobile. How the hell do you see messages?
SuckAnElf
Go on the browser app and go to Imgur, it's not on the Imgur app.
chinchillajaw
Gotcha! Laaaame
randelung
Not on mobile, that's the issue. Only on computers.
chinchillajaw
Thanks man.
TieMeUpNow
Just go to the website from your phone browser. Not that hard.
chinchillajaw
Riiight well I thought there was a way, thaaaanks.
randelung
The issue isn't that it's hard, it's that you don't go actively checking messages unless you're expecting something.
