Follow up on the Book Club and a NEW WAY you can take part! :)

Hi guys! Just wanted to do a follow-up on last week's post about the Book Club! Thank you all for the love and understanding you guys gave it.
Several of you mentioned that sometimes you think twice about making a comment on the Book Club because you are worried about the replies you may get, and I think I have come up with a way around that!
Starting with the current Book Club (Azkaban chapters 8, 9 and 10), if you are worried about receiving replies, you can now Direct Message me your thoughts on the chapters instead of posting them publicly! You should see a button marked 'Message' near the top of the home page. That way you can still be a part of the videos and only I will be directly responding to them in my usual goofy but friendly way (unless there is ANYTHING against Hufflepuff... I mean it... ANYTHING!! (( I am joking)) (((Or am I?))) ).
When you DM me your thoughts, please follow all the usual rules about length as well as avoiding spoilers for future chapters. That second part is very important, because usually it is the other Book Club posters that notice if something spoiler-y has been posted, and ask people to edit them. It will be on you to make sure nothing about future chapters is in your comments!
When you DM me your Book Club comments, I will probably not reply to the DM, as I will be addressing it in the videos. So please don't feel I am ignoring you!! XD
Love you, guys! I actually recorded a video addressing the book club, but I got a bit too 'emotional' in it and decided it was probably best not to post! XD But I will say this -
Thank you all for taking part in these Book Review videos. You're comments mean the absolute world to me, and I feel very bad that I didn't realise there was a problem for so long. You are ALL welcome to take part in these. I will ask again, PLEASE be respectful and friendly if you choose to reply to someone's comment, but it is on me to make sure that is happening, and for that, I am really very sorry for dropping the ball for so long.
This is the longest post ever now! XD
EDIT: If you are fine with receiving replies from other comments, then continue as usual and make your comments on the usual Book Club posts. :)

I agree with others but with regards to “I didn’t realise there was a problem for so long” - I don’t think there has been a problem for a long time, it’s really just been the past couple of episodes, and I think everyone involved has since made an attempt to be polite and respectful to other’s opinions.

2023-01-16 14:52:50 +0000 UTCGood idea, Veggie, and you REALLY shouldn't feel bad about anything that's been happening in the comment section. You're very good at making sure people feel included (not surprised since you are a Hufflepuff!).
