Yes, you're probably right. And it just drains the life out me to work on chapters or short stories, edit, try to make everything flow and make sense and try to make it interesting, then see no one comment (except our fine gentleman xtc and Jay), even so much as to recognize that the story even exists. It leaves me thinking I must be a miserably bad writer when no one cares to offer any response at all to what I write. I truly envy someone like KP, who is secure enough in his powers (as he should be) that he can shake off lack of comments; when I see the silence on my stories, the idea that I really don't know how to write nags at me until I can barely put fingertips to a keyboard.bondagefreak wrote: ↑6 years ago @MisterMistoffelees Actually, its probably more like 97-98% of members who are unlikely to respond to story posts.
The people who've voted on this so far are most likely active participants. Not to paint too grim a picture, but it's more like 60% of active forum participants who are unlikely to respond to story posts. That 60% plus the hundreds of silent lurkers, constitutes well over 95% of forum members.
My regrets for the rant, but I had had such hopes for this group that I eagerly accepted xtc's invitation to join, only to find that the more things, change, the more they stay the same. Okay, rant over.
