New SS: Starlight Express CLOSED Indefinitely - Page 93

(QUOTE]H, I have told you this earlier, and I will say this to you again. You are one of the more mature writers we have in IF. Everyone does not possess the maturity to read and appreciate the content that you write. For a lot of us, it takes a multiple of reads before we get the actual intended meaning that you wish(ed) to convey. That to you is an advantage and a disadvantage. Not many people may read literature the way they read a harry potter... but why compare the two even. You writing is language enriched, content enriched. Not all FF's give you things to think about. I honestly find this to be the reason for your reduced readership. But the few of us who read your stories love it to the core... makes us wanna come up with our versions of stories too... And I dont know if I can ever give any writer a bigger compliment... NY times is one of my most fav stories... U even know the number of times I have read and re-read that story. I love Chandini's rooftop, Mr Iyer and Mrs. Khurana, every one of them... I really feel like you should continue writing and atleast finish up the stories you started. I hope you do. I will continue to come in and look for your updates. (QUOTE)Hi,

I am one of the silent readers in IF... and silent means VERRRYYY silent... so far i have just made 10 comments in IF..(LOL).. but i guess I should have commented on the stories in IF more... Trust me i will try to do so in the future.. what ever i wanted to convey to you has been conveyed in the above comment... Agree with your point as well... having good number of readers is quite a motivating factor for writers... but let that not stop u from writing and ofcourse publishing it.. if not in IF may be ur blog?? there are lot of writers who still write for their friends and post in private forums in FB.. may be that??? please even i feel should continue writing and of course PUBLISH it as well... shall keep checking for updates in ur blog. and IF.. Best of luck...

All that said, I completely understand there is this thing called reader's choice. Its no good to influence it after a certain point.

I'm sure you all did your best and I did too...

So long girls...

On that note, let's end this thread with a song a friend of mine sent me, this afternoon.

It's just sad whatever happened to this thread...to this story. Lets leave it at that...

I don't intend to post this story elsewhere or in FB...I doubt it will change anything - readership or the kind of healthy discussion I wish to harbor on threads. After all this, view points would only appear skewed and opinions biased.

Thank you for all your kind words and persistence. It certainly speaks much to the need for re-opening this thread. But then again, I'm also aware that we are just as susceptible to falling into a state of irresistible complacency as we are, at the moment, giving into this rush, so as to avoid having this thread closed.

And we have all exchanged some bitter words and difficult opinions while at that...

Remember, I also said Never...So hopefully when I get over all this and not expect anything in return for sharing my stories with you, I might come back...Until then, do let go of 6thElement...

Jyoti...good...I'm glad you took it upon you to throw a tantrum. 😊 Something I wanted people to do ever since I ended NY times...

I have nothing much to say and no won't show a crying or a sad emoticon... I guess a lot has been said the discussed maybe... some of which i read and some of which i'm yet to read ...

Let me be clear...I'm not playing hard to catch.

I'm not here to raise the threads TRP as I'm being blamed for. Apparently I'm being told in PMs that my characters don't get to people enough to invite a comment.

I have had PMs telling me to shut my gob and continue writing with or without comments. Now that is not so nice is it...

What I was telling about readers throwing a tantrum...I meant that people didn't own the story threads and went about writing out their heart after NY times...That's all.

Hey Hasini. I'm mostly a silent reader, and I really don't know what happened in this thread, so I won't say anything about that. As for your characters, you are one of the very few writers that I feel addicted to. Out of the many, many FFs/SSs/OSs I read, you, Devi, and Sookie are the best writers I've read here. I love your stories and I hope one day you will continue this story. I so wish to read what will become of Maan and Geet.

Thank you for the journey so far :)

But yes thanks for acknowledging my poor writing among the highly revered ones...

Wht can I do to make one of my fav.writer to start
