The Story Lover

There are several new stories in The Dragon Earl Universe, please check them out and let 'Goos' know what you think of his story. TSL

I prefer Times New Roman and occasionally use Geneva. I have found Garamond works well for some things.

Kevin, It sound likes you are using the Felis Note Tracker and not The Felis Character Roster Program. If you try that program you will see the buttons every one is talking about. If you still have problems let me know and I will try and asnwer them. TSL

The level of violence in this story seems to be on the right keel. The vilonce is anecessary and integral part of the story.The violence is not there just for the sake of being violent. As slong as the violence has a point or serves to enhance a portion of the story i have no problem with it. The moral and messages througout the story as well as the support given to the characters make this an excellent story. TSL

Cracker, Are you directing your frustration towards the readers who don't respond to you stories or the functioning of this board? I am beginning torealize the old saying "you can bring a horse to water but you can't make him drink" is true. I also belong to several boards and moderate one and I do see the same thing: lots of members and only a few posters. As a fellow author, newbie that I am I am experiencing the same thing. However as a site owner I do have a sligh advantage I can see daily how many people are reading my story from my site as well as the GA Links Page. I am going to ask everyone here the question I ask an author whose stories I also edited. Who do you write for? Do you write for the joy of writing? Do you write for yourself? or do you write for the feedback from the readers? I believe that you have to write for the first two and that if you write solely for the third you will spend many frustrating days and nights. Does that mean I don't write for responses? NO I beg for them also and when I do get them I am ecstactic whether positive or negative. I have been lucky so far the few I have received have been positive and the negative ones were of a positive nature. AS I have stated before I read for years before I started responding. I think a lot of readers just want to read a story and go on to the next one. I wish it wasn't true but I am believing it more and more. I realize that as an author of only 2 chapters so far and only a few humble poems I haven't experienced as much frustration as the rest of you may have, but for me II am going to continue to write until the muse leaves me. Of corse my mind may change when I have written as many stories and chapters as the rest of you have. As for me I am just going to read and enjoy the comments I do receive and go on from there. Thanks for letting me get my 25 cents out. TSL
