I would recomend that you keep experimenting with your story telling. Taking chances on a story bombing in the reviews is not a bad plan. It will only make you better - especially if you have reviews that are helpful, telling you how, where and why your tale worked or didn't work.

Thanks H Dean,
I do like reviews that tell you why someone did or didn't like the story. It certainly does make you aware of areas you might want to or need work on. I do like how in your reviews you try to explain the reason behind the score and make your views clear. It is then up to the author to take note or not.

I am more aware of my audience now, but instead of hindering me in my writing, I find it helps me to focus. I am becoming more confident in my topics and try to think of stories that are a bit different, though this is not always easy. The day making up stories becomes a chore is the day I decide to stop.
