Im amazed that in less then 48 hours over 4000 people have read my story. Thats unbelivable exposure. However, afters hours spent in writing a story the for pleasure of the Eunuch Archive members, i got only one Email commenting on the story(good or bad). It is very disapponting as a writer not to know weather the story is a worthwhile endevor and weather my time was not wasted.

Even though you're the first one to mention it in some time, this has always been a problem at EA. Perhaps many of the readers are lurkers, or are afraid to send feedback for fear of being identified. It's hard to tell.

Having written quite a few stories myself, it's always amazing to look at the hits (one well over 10,000) and only having gotten like 6 emails about it. It can very discouraging indeed.

BUT you also have to keep in mind that a great majority of those reading it are enjoying it. They're probably just too timid to tell you so.

Welcome to the world of the Archive, topbazuka.

I have to admit I am one of the guilty ones. I have to admit that I read it, but I did not enjoy it at all, not because it wasn't well written because it was. I simply get turned OFF, not ON, by stories that tell of taking advantage of children as young as the one in your story.

Nevertheless I read it, ALL of it, so I owed you some objective feedback and I didn't do it. For that I apologize.

As I said, I think the story was well written, and I certainly had no problem reading it and following the plot.

Even though our interests are different, I should have been sensitive to the fact that this was your first effort here. I am sorry... I for one would like to see more of your writing.



Im my defense, I must say, I have been a smoker for over fifty years, but I quit the first of March. My brain is a little addled right now. :tongueout :tongueout :tongueout
