Um...so I posted Mongoose Chapter 27I needed (wanted?) to cover a bit of a plot point before Gringotts... which Severus won’t see of course. Except the aftermath! Ha

And don't feel bad if you don't have a million hits on your story. In my experience, the most popular stories are either the kind of saccharine romantic twaddle that appeals mostly to 14-year-olds, or it's PWP. If you have actual plot and actual character insight and actual stories about adults, you won't get as many readers. But the people who DO read your work will be terribly grateful that someone is writing something that ISN'T saccharine romantic twaddle, that has an actual plot and that uses the actual characters. And while I like PWP sometimes, I don't confuse it with an actual story. :-)
Im not super down on the hits really, I really like my little group of readers. They all make interesting comments and seem quite interested. As opposed to “cool story pls update”. I certainly appreciate that very much!
It’s funny because it IS such a regular thing that sometimes I think...hmmm, it isn’t like [insert user name] to not post a comment then...bam two days later there they are. It’s really nice! :)
I’m with you, I like PWP sometimes but I definitely don’t confuse it with actual plot driven story. I found your comment regarding the romance interesting as I thought I was just getting old and cynical. I read a few and thought, oh I can’t deal with a Severus that calls Hermione “my beautiful darling” and they walk around telling each other they love each other every two seconds. It’s a lovely thought, it’s not quite how I picture him in canon, ;))
How are you enjoying Witcher 3? My new game is interesting, graphics are a little disappointing. SO MUCH DIALOGUE.
An awful lot of stories are clearly written by people who've never actually had a romantic relationship, and I find a lot of them very interesting from a psychological standpoint, in that they display the wishes and desires of girls in their early teens. I find a lot of those stories rather alarming, because they often show either that the writers have expectations for a relationship that no man can live up to, or they expect to be treated in a way that I consider abusive. I really, REALLY hope that they manage to form more realistic ideas about what romantic relationships are like before they actually HAVE one

*sends you fireworks of congratulations* I am sooo sorry I flaked on reading. I'm a shite mate. Things have gone to hell in a handbasket on my end of late, which is an explanation if not an excuse. Le sigh.
Oh I don’t mind! Don’t stress. Our mate-rate isn’t purely rated on transactions right?? ;)
Now is where you log in and just put “more soon please” on each chapter. Lolollll
I also love fireworks so this is just perfect. We used to be able to set them off in our backyards but too many people blew their fingers off so...yeah.... w

It’ll probably end up being another five or so chapters then finished!
