To Post, or not to Post
It is extremely difficult to tell what kind of response you will get to what you believe is a well crafted story line.

For example:
http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...threadid=68032
I thought that this was a rather clever story that had a not so hidden objective. It has so far received 47 views and zero, nada, zip responses.

In this one, I barred mysoul and let you into my little fantasy world.
http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...threadid=67497
Net result, 18 views and you guessed it, nothing.

And then I posted:
http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...threadid=68437
Just doing my duty here and making a formal request. Not expecting much other than the first response, but still... 67 views, eleven responses, and still going strong near the top of page 1.

There is a story here begging to be told.

roadcage,

believe me, i've been through the same things. Just make sure it is fun to YOU, and who cares if others respond or not.
