In the last two weeks, I've contacted five people I know casually about various fandom-related queries, by email and text-message. None of them have responded. As in, at all. Not a peep.
Five.
I was polite. Civil. Didn't use chatspeak. Parsed, punctuated, and paragraphed my missive. These are people I've spoken to before, quite often. I thought our conversations were friendly enough. And the mails were definitely inquiries on my part. Involving actual questions. "Can you confirm...?" "Are you going to...?" "Would you like some help with...?"
Five.
I only just realised this when I mailed off a couple of emails this evening and realised I hadn't heard back from the others.
They say two's a coincidence, and three's a...well, I don't know what three is, but five is distinctly depressing. And making me paranoid.
Is there a fandom APB out there somewhere that cites Atlantis fans should avoid speaking to me at all costs? I think I missed that memo...
