I kinda agree here. There are three ways that one can deal with the overwhelming silence of your audience.

1) They agree but don't feel motivated to tell you because they're afraid that you might agree, change the story, and it would suck (that would be me)

2) They disagree, but keep coming back for the slow motion train wreck you're writing. I believe that you and I had discussions about several web comics that now fit into that category.

3) They tell you what they feel.

All three are valuable, but ultimately, the story is yours. I'd venture to say that this first one is something that you're writing for yourself more than your audience. I'd suggest that the next series you write based on audience comments (and make sure that folks are VERY aware of that from the get-go)

All told, I enjoy your style of writing. Honestly, there are times I have to go back and reread elements to remember vital, and often obvious, clues I've missed. In fact I'm willing to bet a fair number of folks put themselves in that category, waiting until you finish a set before delving in. This isn't a slam on your style, simply a desire for folks to minimize their own impatience.

So you're saying that a bunch of sixteen year old girls following Robert's Rules completely by accident is not within the realm of possibilities? Yeah, uh-huh!

You're like, welcome and stuff.
