I am actually really surprised that I go up to thread 4, so thank you so much to everyone that read and commented on my story so far! :)
Now I have a few notes to put up on the front page because I saw a theme across all the comments.
I know everyone hates reading notes, but please read these, because I am not going to be answering the same questions anymore.
I have stopped sending PMs for my work, so no use adding me as a buddy as I have not accepted anyone for the past few months. Therefore please don't ask me why I haven't sent you a PM or accepted your buddy request.
I have almost 600 people to PM, and it gets tiring to PM them all for every part, therefore I only PM very, very rarely now.
Therefore readers please stalk this thread for updates :)
I had written a post about silent readers in my previous thread. If you haven't read it already, here it is:
I am all for having silent readers, as I understand that you have your own reason for not commenting. However due to the recent happenings of the forum where readers are now abusing the writer, or plagiarising their work, a lot of writers are making a permanent switch to the blogs.
Therefore, if I ever do shift to a blog, I will only be accepting readers that I trust and have been commenting regularly.
This is not me asking for more comments, this is just to let the silent readers know that if tomorrow a switch happens, I won't be accepting them on the blog. I am sorry if it sounds harsh, however if the readers do not respect the writers, then how can you expect niceness and respect from the writer? More has been explained in the note linked above. Give it a read if you have questions.
A lot of silent readers have said that they don't know how to put their thoughts into words - and I completely understand that. However, please be aware that I do not require my readers to have an in-depth analysis of every action of my characters. Of course, it's very nice when a reader does that as they catch on the subtle hints I try to leave, and as a writer it's always nice to have a reader get those - but I equally cherish the other readers who drop in a few words of comments, just to let me know that they are reading my work :)
This is a slow-paced fan fiction. Don't expect Arnav and Khushi to get up and fall in love suddenly. I am trying hard to show the slow transition between lust, desire and love. Hopefully I'll do justice to it, and thank you for sticking with me.
I know there are plagiarisers lurking in this forum, mostly because every now and then I find some writer affected by it.
Here is the thing. If any of my work is found plagiarised, I will go on a HIATUS, and not post my work till I am sure it's secure. If I feel that my work is not secure, I might even take it all down. So have fun telling your "readers" why you are no longer posting the plagiarised story.
You might get some instant gratification from posting someone else's work and seeing comments on it - but trust me, posting original work and having comments for the original work is a lot better than stealing someone else's and trying to pass it off as your own. Not only that, but if you get caught, nobody wants to read your work anymore - because surprise, surprise! It's not your work.
My work is copyrighted, so don't think about copying and pasting a copyrighted work unless you want to face the legal ramifications of it. And no, I do not care of your connections, or who your father is - you steal my work and you will see the mean side of me that only a few people have witnessed.
Not only that but I do not give my permission for anyone to post this anywhere without my permission.
There are Facebook pages with people's stories posted (with due credit) however I do not permit that for my stories either.
Nobody is allowed to steal my work. Period.
Once again, I cannot thank you all enough for reading my work, constructively criticising and encouraging me to continue and to do better! Thank you so much!
