Bee, it's not about the ideas that I have in my mind for stories. In fact last night I saw a dream and this morning I came up with another story 😕.
The thing is the response (or lack of response) that I'm getting lately which has started to make me doubt my stories. I know since last several months I've been saying that I now write for myself as readers are reducing. But ever since I posted Tessa's OS, I have started to doubt myself.


Many readers stopped coming to IF, so I understand losing them,

Many readers have stopped reading on AarYa, that also I understand.

But what has been bothering me is that, few readers used to tell me that they visit the forum only to read my stories. They even commented on the thread where I had asked who are still interested in reading my stories. They said they stil love to read them.

But lately I'm noticing that they don't read my stories anymore. In fact I have seen them reading yours, Tessa's and Sassy's and even Jhil's stories (no I'm not jealous. Rather I'm happy that you all are getting the response that you deserve 👏)

But them ignoring my PM's and my stories have made me think if I'm losing my touch? 😕
Even stalkers don't stalk anymore as the views on my OS for Tess have not at all increased in last two-three days

I have started doubting myself so much that I'm feeling depressed since Sunday evening 😔


I don't mind losing readers but...

I don't know how to explain what I'm feeling right now . Last night I read your SS "Queen of my heart". But I was so depressed that I didn't feel like commenting 😕

Alien ji, you should seriously consider posting in a forum with a large readership if you want response to your stories because readers here are increasingly waning...

I still don't get what you mean by your stories getting less response to ours? In my view they are more or less the same and as far as likes go you still get more than any of us...

But yes I understand you because I feel the same way about the lack of response. If I'm still writing it's only because of my love for AarYa and to keep the forum open for as long as I can...

But you are way too talented to give up writing. Please don't even entertain that idea, rather look for ways to get your stories out there...

No Tess, like I said I don't mind decrease in readers as I know that is bound to happen.

Read the highlighted part in my previous comment.

And I'm not even saying that I'm getting less response than all of you. Cause that is not the case. I got Good response in SOTP and Phechaan.


What I'm saying is that earlier those who praised my writing are now ignoring my stories which is making me feel as if I'm losing my touch,

I don't need tons of readers as I'm satisfied with what I have, it's just those few readers that have made me think

But Alien ji them not responding does not reflect on your ability to captivate readers. I think maybe they are just busy with life or maybe they just moved on. You should not let that affect you or lessen the joy writing gives to you...

My thoughts exactly. Post your stories in a different forum that is active.
Let me assure you that your writing skills are awesome its just that the forum is not active anymore. Even Sharls has stopped writing.
It would be sad day if this forum closes. It's so much nicer that the other forum that i have been stalking.
trust me, it is not an indictment on your writing skills. And that is for both of you.

You are not getting my point 😕

Tess, read my first comment. I said that I understand readers moving on. What is making me doubt myself is those readers who are still reading on AarYa but Not MY stories. And earlier I was their favorite writer

Anyways let it be as I don't think I'm making myself clear in what I'm trying to say 😕

I have noticed new readers liking my stories. Most of the old ones seem to have disappeared

Don't get disheartened by the response to your OS for me. I think most readers won't connect to it because of the CCC reference... Even my OS, Outing with Aarti did not get much response...
