A couple more thoughts.
To those writers who have frustrations over not getting feedback, I appreciate your sadness. Rest assured that the number of views indicate how much people are reading your material. Assuming your views are not going down with each new story, you are likely doing something that many like, even if they do not explicitly say it in a comment or give a "like". So you probably still are being enjoyed, even if no direct feedback is coming.
Writing is hard. I've tried to do a few stories myself, but frankly most of those efforts are absolute garbage in relation to the excellent writers I see on this site. But an idea for a story gets in your head, and the only way you can get it out of your head is to write it down. So the efforts of all of you, the writers of this forum, are all appreciated. Thank you all again to all of the writers here for your passion, your persistence, and your creative imaginations that make these stories so interesting to those of us who enjoy them.
Oh, and to bcw8, I am quickly becoming a big fan of your work as well. The sheer volume of material you have created in the last few months is impressive. Additionally, the different scenarios, the excellent backstories and the wonderful back and forth action in most of your fights is very enjoyable. I think the Jacuzzi is my favorite of your stories, but I must also mention that The Myth of Free Will has a bit of a "Twilight Zone" episode feel to it, in terms of how it makes you feel and think after you read it. Please feel free to continue to entertain us with your stories as long as you feel the muse to do so. Thank you for your contributions.
