I expect low scores when I post something that is short... Though I am pleased to say that my poetry actually has better scores than I might expect on a site like this. I also expect low scores when I post Mm or MM type of stories.
I can get good scores and high downloads from 'dog on woman' fiction. Heck even 'Man on female dog' fiction gets good downloads and scores. But those aren't the stories that have buzzed around my head lately. Instead I have a nonpunishable story (Post Apocalyptic...) that I've started, though I doubt I'll ever finish it, and these bits and pieces about the teen cross dressing boy in a trap... Why? I don't ask the muse why, I just take dictation when she decides to push something to the fore.
I'd just discovered Xalir's work and now to learn he has passed from this mortal coil... We all must pass 'tis true, but sad to hear the news at any time.
Farewell, though I knew you not, I would that we'd met in life, but your work lives on to inspire.

It seems to me from being frustrated with my own writing, and with the writing of other authors here that one of the hardest things to do for an author is to build that bridge into the world you are imagining. I don't very often go much past a couple of paragraphs in a story before I've decided that it either isn't ('cause I can't seem to get past the 'info dump') interesting, or it has captured my attention and I am going to read through to the end no matter how long it keeps me up...
Anyway, I do wish I knew what makes the difference between a story that captures an audience (called the 'hook') and what turns one off in my own writing. I know I'm interested in what I write, but is anyone else interested?
I suppose so, I have a lot of my stuff in other people's libraries.... Even if the 77 fans (as in they must be fanatic) who put The Adventures of Cocksocket into their library are the same for all the other stories that I've put out then I have a few people who can get past my info dumps... :P
