SS: Smoke and Mirrors - 3rd June, Chapter 7

Smoke and Mirrors

I have always had a fondness for this story. From the very beginning, years ago when I first started it, I wrote the ending. But as it does, life happened and left by the wayside were a lot of my stories. I lost parts of some stories, I lost interest in others. Even when I was gone for months at a time, my stories still played on my mind. This is why I'm back again, pulled by the urge to finish this tale.

I've been very fortunate to find some brilliant, active readers. Numbers in the Geet Forum have been waning for some time and stories from new/unknown writers see less readers and sometimes receive a discouragingly low amount of feedback. I naively want us, as a forum, to change that.

I do not write for compliments. I don't even write for comments. If I did, I would not write the sort of stories I do in the forum that I do. However, I'm sure you'll agree that it's always rewarding to know that you're not speaking to a wall. I want everyone to be interactive readers (for any of the many lovely stories you read) - talk to me, talk to each other, come up with plot theories or convoluted plans to overthrow me. Just please don't tell me that it was a "nice update, continue soon". I try very hard to make every chapter worth saying at least something about and I would really love to see people on my threads, not stock compliments. Silent/indifferent readers have put me off writing before and I'll bet good money that they'll put me off again. If you're simply going to 'like' and not comment something specifically about the story, then please don't even bother liking.

If I haven't scared you away already, welcome, show your face and enjoy the story. It's a special one to me.

P.S. No PMs for this one. Experience has taught me that it is not always work worth doing ;)

agar hai tho intro kaha hai??😕

and what about Gehraiyan uss ko bhi tho saal hogaye hai??

chado jo bhi ho new stories are always welcome by me🤗

so waiting!!😃

I was writing this story a long time ago but never finished. It will be posted here, very slightly altered. The other thread is the old one, hence the 'inactive' in its title.

I don't do intros, straight to chapter. Give me a minute 😉

Gehraiyan was updated a few weeks ago and I hope to update again soon. I've always admitted to being a slow updater for that story 😆

This story is no longer available.

I've read this

re-reading it as a new story..loved this story, it had an unconventional plot and character of Geet..glad that you are continuing it.
Geet is back, she seems to have a rich and famous background for many people want to use the acquaintance to boost self-importance in the society..
but Geet herself seems to be a cold, callous, impassive personality now with a i-don't-care-a-damn attitude..still the past memory disturbs her.
very intriguing update..for what purpose she is back and who is he.

It was hardly a paragraph, yet I felt zillions of emotions as I read through those lines.

This was the nicest ever update. Please do continue soon🤣
