I really wonder if some of you have any idea of what it takes to put together a site like this?
Myr has put years into this. It has been a long struggle but it is really paying off. We are getting quite a crowd here now. But I wonder if you you folks really know what you have?
I guess I am a little dissapotined in the new poll on the archives.
I wonder if any of you really know how much effort goes into finding really good stories to link to, or host on this site????
We really are blessed, we have authors that are members and hosted here that should really have their books in print. But we have the honor of being able to read their works for free.
Finding these stories is not a simple thing.
You say most of them are posted at Nifty? Fine then I challenge you go to nifty and find one that is not linked here. There are some mind you, I have not posted links to all that I love over there yet. But I want you all to realize that it takes a lot of reading to find a good story to link to.
Finding a good author is not easy, but there are many of them out there, try going to a book store and finding the amount or quaility of authors that we have to offer here!
I am one of the major contributer of authors to this site and I want to tell you it is not easy, but it is rewarding. Each time I find a quality author for you guys, I find them for myself also. But a lot of times you have to read through a lot of crap to find the good stuff. You really have to give a author a few chapters to find out how good they are. Thus I read way more than I should.
I really think that you folks should go back and check the poll on the archives out again and think about it a bit.
Go to your local book store and price the books. Then I even dare you to try and find the selection you have here!
This site is worth it weight in gold.
Merlin, I really want to thank you for you dream here and for what you have accomplished. I remember when this was just a little idea in the back of your head and I am so gald that you went ahead with with it. May you goals in IRL come to gether as well as this site has.
Hugs
Michael
