I have been getting a feeling like absolutley NOBODY has been reading my stuff. There are a few other writers in here that I guess are feeling the same way. For example, Another Smithy's story, The Warrior to Unite, has only gotten praise from ME and me alone. The last time someone said something praising my Star Wars fan fics was in July!

Now, I have a challenge for you. No reward for doing this except good reading and having happy writers! I challenge you to read up on a majority of the stories in here, and then give some praise on it. This place is here for writing, but not only that. Also, I have a feeling that people are flocking to the shorter stories that have less paragraphs and less long reading. That tends to annoy me...

Who accepts the challenge?

You go dude!

sometimes hacing shorter stories tends to have more parts posted

so thats a no i will not do it

you know that we're not reading your stories??

course he does

Of course I do, there's no commentary since July except for Another Smithy's recent remark.

The fact that the shorter stories have more parts posted means nothing, Masterofmatrix. They eventually just add up to be shorter or nearly as long as the longer stories. For instance, I post chapter by chapter. I don't think anyone has reached the length of my stories yet.

I see that everyone is doing their best to ignore what I've written...

I see they received my PM

sometimes reading a story that has shorter segments is more apealing then reading a huge lumped together stretch of words. It's a psychological thing Rex.

*cuts off Yerss's head and throws it across the room*

What PM, Yerss?

*sigh* Well, I just have a feeling that most of the writers who have longer segments are feeling left out because nobody is reading them...such as me and Another Smithy...

yeah, i completely understand how you're feeling, i was just trying to maybe give you some insight in why they may be skimping on reading the longer works on teh board.

Yeah, I suppose your right. Then again, I'm in an advanced literature class at school, so long writing is what I'm used to...

Maybe if I start making everything short people will look at mine.

you make what short?

Think of it this way Rex, you're stories are too good and complex for simple minded people to read and understand. Only brilliant minds like yours will get them

oh, I like that explenation

Yerssot, the amount of time you have been arguing with Rex in this topic you probably could have read Rex's fic, and definately mine for that matter.

Indeed. Still, I kind of made this thread for discussion anyway...

Of course it's too complex, I'm all knowing and have a very complex mind!

I will after next week - too much schoolwork at the mo!

oh, but I don't like to read

What about Shatterpoint, Yerss?

it ... broke?

Well, we're 50/50 here...

that's ... bad

Indeed...

Alright, new rule to keep the extremely short stories down. DBZFan just posted a "Sailor Moon meets DBZ" story entitled "Just a story." 3 short sentences, and about 300 characters. My new rule is that the opening entry must have AT LEAST 1000 characters. All entries of the story after that must have AT LEAST 500 characters.

see I want to read everyones stuff,but my brain cant handle all the reading, though what Ive read by everyone has been great.I just read mostly bits and pieces

Good!
