Hi Captv8td,

I'm interested to find out that as the author of "To Obey" you're saying I've used unfair means to get the story to it's number one placing on the list?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but my story has a lot of chapters in it and the themes strike a cord with many readers. Perhaps that might be simply be a good enough reason why the story is popular. Sure it hasn't got the highest rating of 10/10 but 8/10 isn't bad either.

Don't get me wrong here, I've read your stories and I do enjoy them. And when your stories get up to the amount of work that I've put into my stories, then you'll get ratings in the popular / best rated / etc lists.

I've been writing To Obey since before 2001. That's nearly a good five years of work on one story. I've noted that you've only submitted your stories at the start of this year. Come on Captv8td, give your stories a chance to grow and develop before expecting little achievements like most popular, etc.

I fully expect I'll be knock off as top dog some day in the future. But until then, I feel like I deserve the top honor at the moment. And when the time comes to give credit to the next top dog, you won't see me whining. I know how hard it is to write stories, and whoever takes over number one, I know they would have earned the honor through blood, sweat and many many spelling mistakes.

Okay, I've said my piece. I'm kicking the soapbox over to the next person.
