I'm done

I don't read your stories because I'm only interested in m/m stuff, but I'm sorry to hear it. A reminder to everyone to support the writers they like.

Yet posts full of plot holes and poor grammar get everyone going 'oh great writing more please!' So yeah I'm sorry to those who do bother giving me responses but I don't think I'll be writing anymore stories on here if noone can be fucked responding.


Tapeandrope666,

I am so sorry, but I know exactly how you feel. I've written a few stories (but only part 1), I get many views but only a few comments here and there. I realize that they don't have to comment, but feedback always helps. Take some time and get your hands from underneath the desk and put both hands on the keyboard and type a thank you to people contributing. It's the least folks can do. I also get annoyed by the "Grammar Police" here. As long as you can read it, enjoy the story and not point out about quotations or comas, etc, etc. That happened to a recent story, so I just stopped writing. This is why I stick strictly to role play through private messaging here or some place else.

Oh, I totally get it... totally. I agree with you 100 percent.

Been there; done that. I used to write stories here all the time but gave it up as a thankless chore years ago.

I wondered why I haven't seen any fun stories from you lately. I always liked them.

I know it's your own decision, but isn't this bit rushed? I mean, yes, you don't really get much feedback, but it's mostly very positive, there's hardly any negative feedback to find.
And don’t forget, most of the views probadly come from people without a profile, so they can't comment under your stories.
But still, your decision...
What are you looking at? Finally put a gag in my mouth and play with me!

I didn't even think about that until you mentioned it.... (without profiles).

Believe me, you're not the only one. Trust me when I say it only gets worse the more you write. People seem to have a hard time committing to stories on here, it seems. I wrote a 75 chapter story myself, which was great in the beginning as far as feedback goes but as time passed on i got fewer and fewer reviews. As it's been said, most come here for self satisfaction, and when they get that they don't bother to post on here. It also doesn't help with the political shit people like Drawscore usually brings up gets more attention than the stories our writers work so hard on. The jump in the fire section gets way more attention than it deserves.

And you do have a valid point about shitty stories getting more recognition than plots that are actually well developed. Most of those people are looking for cheap satisfaction to their bondage/sexual cravings that they don't concern themselves with how well the story is actually developed. There was one story that came to mind a while back that got soooooo much attention despite it being a lackluster story. And dont get me started on 50 shades of grey.....

It sucks bad man, it does, but what can we do?

Honestly mate if you do enjoy writing then you won't worry so much about how many people comment, I admit a while ago I had the exact same "screw this I'm done writing stories" episode you're having now, but I'm back writing again and I'm loving it :) I know it's good to get feedback but it's not the be all and end all of everything

Alot of good writers here do that. It's just tough to continue to write when you don't exactly feel appreciated for it. When my frustrations started someone told me something along the lines of what you said a while back, and I do agree, though. We should all just write for ourself as well as the few who care enough to give feedback. It's just as frustrating to see the lack of story reviews in comparison to other non story sections, i.e. Tugs Talk and Jump in the Fire. It was also frustrating when the idea for 'Story Writers Recognition' failed due to lack of care from the moderators as well as not being able to agree on one idea vs. another. It could've actually helped writers morale here.

I wish I can find the enthusiasm to write these days, I really do, but given the websites issues as well as my graduate studies that's hard.

I've read longer stories (I.E. bound and gagged in a sleeping bag at over 90 chapters now, and still going) but yea it takes commitment. It would be nice to have another reviewer on my story. It's called 'Game of TUGs, btw.

Consider it done. I'll search and start reading it and comment as I go along.
