Appreciation for the story forum
Posted: Sun Aug 01, 2021 8:30 am
If you'd asked me twenty years ago if I would be writing superheroine fiction I would have laughed at you. As an intensely lazy human, putting forth the effort to write stories that few people would ever read was a hard pass for me. But then this amazing forum happened. I read some great heroine fiction, and I saw how well it was received. Against all odds, I was inspired to give it a try.
I posted my first story about two and a half years ago. I was sick as a dog and stuck in my bedroom. So I wrote a story. Amazingly, it was somewhat well-received. I wrote another, and people read that one too. I never would have expected this private part of my life to suddenly involve writing fiction and actually having a small audience for my "art". (Art is in quotes because, well let's be honest - my writing isn't exactly Jane Austin or Bertrand Russell!)
On a whim this morning I added up the views for the four stories I've posted. I was astounded to see that the total was close to 20,000 views. That's pretty shocking. So I want to thank all the people who made this forum possible. It has become an impressive collection of tales and opened the door for many people to try their hand at writing heroine fiction. I'd also like to thank Dr. D and C.J.S. for being so encouraging and supportive of my writing efforts. Knowing people are reading your work is gratifying, but having readers take the time to comment with encouragement and constructive criticism is even better.
