I'm sure I've given up on some good stories just because I wasn't in the mood to engross myself in understanding who the people were, even though I know this would enhance the reading experience.
What's that old saying? Never underestimate the intelligence of the reader! Or should that be Overestimate? I can't remember!

I'm sure there are many site visitors that enjoy a 'good read' as well as the spicy stuff and you can include me in that number. Maybe I'm weird, but I like learning something from a story, whether it be a new word, something about a place/organisation or just new way of tormenting a woman . In fact, thanks to the information gleaned from Dr. Wingate’s story, I’ve nearly built my own Multi-electrode and Imaging Analyzer which is currently cluttering up the dining room table!

As an occasional writer here, one thing I am learniîg is to write for my readers: The ones that enjoy what I write. Has there ever been a writer that appeals to everybody? Not even Shakespeare! So why worry about that.

Chum, I suggest you multiply your good reviews and emails by X and give your readers more of what they and you like. (Detailed mathematical formula available on request)

This may sound repetitive, but what the hell....

To all members and guests! If you like somebody's work send them an email or review their story to let them know. To make it even easier you can cut and paste the following.

Dear writer I enjoyed your story. Please keep up the good work.

Regards, Marcus
