I was amazed at the strong feelings that this story aroused in readers.
Some loved it, judging by the number of votes from 7 - 10, but others hated it, judging by the number of votes from 1 - 5 and the number of negative comments.
Personally, if I don't like a story, I move on and don't return after a maximum of 2 chapters. Here, however, I see comments stating that chapters 3, 4 and 5 are boring. Strange!
Then there are the readers who told me to give up writing; that I had no talent; that I had cheated the readers by missing a specific code etc.
On the other hand, although there were several high number votes, I only received one positive comment. Perhaps people who liked the story did not feel the need to leave a comment.
Finally, the traffic to this story also helped to increase the traffic to my other two stories, but without the negative comments - or indeed any comments.
Has any other writer been through the same experience?
I'd love to hear your thoughts.
I have not had a lot of time to work on my stories, but I have had several discussions with Abbey (real name) about the direction the story should take.
She commented that chapter 3 is probably not something she would do, so I have rewritten how she shows Joe her submissive side.
We both think it makes for a more believable plot device.
Thanks to all who have commented.
"Marie" and I have been discussing how the story might proceed. I had originally thought that there would only be a few more chapters, but she gave me an idea, and now it looks like this story could continue for some time yet.
Just to fill in a little background for the readers. "Marie" is a real Filipina working in Dubai. She has done many things that society would consider shocking for any woman, let alone a married woman, to do. However, she has needs that have to be satisfied.
Marie is not her real name, but her daughter is really called Jane.
Marie and I chat online but we have never met although we both live in the Middle East, but in different countries, and maybe that distance has allowed us to exchange true stories and fantasies without inhibitions.
Please keep commenting, as it encourages me to see that people enjoy the story.
I wasn't happy with how chapter 20 was developing. It has been reposted and should appear soon.
