No Story Love?

Postby *Emelia K. Fletcher » September 25th, 2011, 9:40 am

When the Stories Subforum opened up, it was flooded with stories. It was buzzing with life. People posted, people reviewed, people were criticized, and it was all fun.

Now it's dead.

No stories are being posted. Stories rarely get reviewed.

What happened?

Discuss.

It's plain and simple, the Story Portal is just nowhere near as awesome as the LD.

I meant the Stories Forum.

But yeah, the Story Portal is even more 'deader'.

I actually think the story forum has a decent amount of love in it. And yes, the Story Portal was a flop but it did accomplish its main goal- reinvigorate people's desire to write. And I think that people are writing a lot now as opposed to before when Panik was the only one writing. :D

Silent Conversations and a Crow's Final Song!
My latest story, and one of my personal favorites. A girl bound in silence finds the words to say to her prospective girlfriend as they visit her religious father in a dusty town on the edge of Kansas, where the crows' migration south brings forth anchored memories, the path to resolution, and a new start.

Sometimes stories take longer to write than it takes to design a LDP level. :\

Plus, hardly anyone in the world likes writing anymore. It's all about the new Xbox game or what Microsoft screws up, or what Obama's next bill to pass will be.

Actually, I constantly make stories that either make it to the Story Forum, but are never completed or are never released at all. So, I'm still going kinda strong.
