I think lack of replies leads to a downward spiral of less inspiration for story writers, leading to less postings, leading to less reason for people to check the board regularly and reply.
 

I wish it was more populated with posters.


I've certainly got less personal free time than ever before, and slightly less impetus to prioritise what little I have for PV writing given the slow pace and low participation. My apologies for the stalwarts who do keep the place ticking.


What is this leisure time of which you speak?


It's fine by me.


My former secretaries Zania and Anita claimed to be traumatised by me forcing them to post here.


Well, I do worry that they'll burn in hell because I write here, of course.

> Is it a case of "I would have stuck with the PVB but I can't have it (bookmarked) where the kids/wife can see it"?

Only CSFB!'s art posts.


I know Shep gets depressed when she feels people aren't being supportive of others' efforts and that in turn makes her less likely to hike to an internet cafe or library where she can post. And then she feels guilty that she's not pulling her weight and feels out of things. And then she rings me and tells me all about it.
