A historic spoof (Lien the Fifth (http://www.bdsmlibrary.com/stories/s...?storyid=3873)) which started out nasty and got worse was critiqued as not being erotic enough, based on the first chapter. Perhaps it was a fair sentiment though It was was meant to be vicious and sadistic and not really envisioned as a terribly erotic story. The first reviewer hit it with a 2 and the next two were 5 and 7 then I got some more reasonable critiques.
Still the story has nearly thirty five thousand hits and only ten reviews so you have to figure the bulk of the people reading it aren’t interested in the reviews
Just some rambling thoughts

you are quite right Mad ----really a small percentage of the readers bother with a review ---I think most do not even look at the reviews ---

I think the number of hits reflect more than the reviews do ---but that is just my opinion ---lol
