I apologise for the delay. Deciding on the scheduling of stories has been a problem I've wrestled with for much of the life of this posting community. Past experience has been that if posters don't or can't keep up with the volume of story they become disconnected from it and from the board and then drift away. Conversely if there's not enough board activity other posters lose interest and stop visiting. From my own perspective, having spent hours writing a story I hope people will regard enough to read and comment upon I'm reluctant to miss out on the only enjoyment I get once it's posted - discussing it and generally shooting the breeze with fellow posters. It disappoints me if I've failed to make it interesting enough to provoke comment. Right now it's more difficult for me to find time to write for the Parodyverse than I've ever known it. I have less free time than ever before anyhow, and when I do sit down to write I have three paying writing commissions queing up to be done, one book and two magazine stories; so I try to keep faith with the community here at the PVB but scale my commitment to mirror that of the community's responses. Furthermore, I tend to write in phases, so once I start on a project I can't easily jump to another story or genre because I'm holding all the information and plot about the first one in my head. That means when I move on from the Parodyverse to other writing I tend to be "away" for a while. If other folks aren't around much either this may be a good time for another leave of absence. Again, I'm sorry to those of you who engage regularly. I don't mean to offend those of you who don't. I am just exerting my option to reserve my efforts until I'm more confident of a level of interaction commesurate with my own board preferences and needs. | |||||||
