Yeah! I had around 387 views in my story Ghost Romance and only 2 person keep up the review! I am starting to lose my edge of writing too!

Don't lose heart sweetie, I'll go read your story and you can bet your butt that I'll review!
My first story on here, One More Chance, has almost 4,000 reads and only 42 reviews, believe me you're not alone! x

"What I don't get is when I come across a story that has 50-100 reads on one chapter and not a single review and it's fantastic, it doesn't make sense to me."
I know right! There are many members on here, they can't be all silent readers huh? Idk but whenever I like a story I at least leave a long comment to express how I feel about the story. :)) I think I would feel guilty if I liked a story and never commented, I agree with you it does give motivation.

Lmfao oh gosh, the roleplays *cringes*
I don't have a problem with it because people are free to do whatever tickles their fancy bUT OH MY GOSH, reading through them are the most embarrassing things ever, seriously what are you doing with your life haha.
I actually laughed reading through a few, it's just so uncomfortable and mortifying, I think people should do it but do it in private if they must, like between peoples instead of having it accessible for all to see and cringe at.
That sums up my take on it lol ;P
Author's Response:
Our takes are pretty much the same XD Thanks Sweetie!

I agree with you completeley!! Well the thing about the read count thing is, its glitched. So when you click a story title, that automaticall counts as a "read". So you may not have actual read a chapter or even a sentence, but accidentally clicked the chapter title. That's why I'm iffy about the whole "Read Count" system. But I guess...silent reader swarm?? Lolo XD Seriously though, people may like it, but just not know what to say I suppose. WE LOVE YOU MORE RIA!!!! :-)))

Lololol Well hello there youuuu XD Yeah I live rping buttt what I don't like is it JUST being sexual and it not blantantly say "This is just sexual talking"Then that takes away the fun of it, and the whole "Being Mikey's love interest" aspect.
Idk why somemore have bern popping up again, people are bored I guessXD. And in regards to the ones on this site, well I try to make mine as private as possible (After going through like 50 people writing hate reviews to me) so I still do it on here, because its more convient but don't "update" it so I don't upset people
. I , as an MJ player and replier, don't really care too much due to the fact of it being fake anyways. Plus most RP have you choose different eras/types of Michael to sort of avoid this problem. Its not odd for it to happen though, some people get REALLY into what they do with RP and that's fine too. As long asit doesn't get out of hand
Annnnnyways, love to you too Ria Ria! <3<3<3 BOTDF soon?.
Author's Response:
Thanks for your input babe! You know I love you, you're fabulous! You'll have to wait a little longer for BOTDF sweetie, I want to complete One More Chance first, I've got too many stories going. In the mean time.....read One More Chance XD ....and then I've got some real juicy twists coming for BOTDF xxx

Wow..you took the words right out of my mouth :O I don't hate roleplays, but I don't do them on here because they aren't private, and I'd like to know Michael for at least 5 hours before we get to anything lol. Omg when you said is there jealousy, I have seen people argue about stuff like that on them, and I was surprised for real.
I so agree with you :) finally someone here who has the same opinion as me!
Author's Response:
Thanks for your input love :) I have glanced (literally clicked on the reviews, read 3 and closed) at the 'role plays' that go on and the first thing I thought was "wow, that can't be nice!" Because what I saw was 3 different reviews saying vaguely similar things and all responses was 'Michael' having an orgasm lol.
If there is jealousy, it doesn't surprise me one bit, the things being said are extremely intimate but at the end of the day, if you are saying these things in a public forum them other people will see them and you've got to expect to see the posts of others.
I role play, it's no secret, I even used to 'advertise' my role play Facebook page on here but one thing that I always swore to myself is that I would never ever share what was said between myself and the person I was interacting with to anyone, I think that's why this privacy bothers me so much.
Btw...."I'd like to know Michael for at least 5 hours" had me cracking up!!!
Thanks again love, I hope to hear more from you.
Ria

Ya know..I've written stories, and I actually have had people steal my stuff. But you know what, I give it one of those big Kanye shrugs, simply because I know it belonged to me first..and the thirst must be very real if it gets to the point where they steal stories.
My advice would be to ignore it. Well no..my advice would be call them out, but you know..this Ayvani isn't like most people. So, what I can say is, either report, or calmly tell the person who's stealing from you :)

that's awful :( It's really down-right a shame that someone took your story and idea and tried to post it as their own...at least give credit where credit is due. I haven't been in a situation like this and I really don't want to tell you the wrong thing, but you should address that person...

I know how you feel dear. I've seen a couple stoties that'v been extremely similar to others. (It happens all the time on Youtube fantasties) My advice would be to
1) If its on this site, inform the author of your story and the fact that its extremely similar to yours(Since it you tell me ! I'll set em straight! xD I would suggest also telling the admins, but then again alot of times it takes them forever to answer.
2) If its on another site, simply start postig a disclaimer stating your story is YOUR story. People will catch on and stop reading the stolen version.
I LOVE YOU RIA!!!!!! :-*:-*:-*:-*:-* :-))))))

I feel you! Writers block is harsh, man. -.- It sometimes drags on so long and it's just like
I can't find a cure for it. All I do is take all the time I need off and inspiration randomly comes to me.
Mostly when I'm watching shows/ movies, taking a walk or just daydreaming. Or even when I read something Michael related and it develops into an idea.
We can't choose when ideas come to us sometimes, it just hits you and its like a lightbulb moment. However even when I do get ideas; I just jot them down and write out a rough idea, but then I can't be bothered writing the actual chapters lol!
I guess it comes down to motivation and what you're feeling at the moment. Also I think it helps to know what time you may prefer to write. For me its mornings or late nights; my mind can concentrate on writing at those times.
Anyways thats just me. XD Hope you get over the writers block darling. ^_^ , <33
Author's Response:
For me it's late afternoon onwards. I'm a night owl so I do everything better later in the day. I've been letting a lot of crap load me down lately, I should really be using this as my outlet.
Thanks so much for your advice, I'm gonna go write :D x much love x

Hey hey Ria! :-)))) I know how you fell 100%. Sometimes I really wanna start a story but my mind gors blsnk. I normally just listen to music or watch movies. Or sometimes just read a story on here! Alot of them are super duper awesome and great inspirations. Hope to see you soon darling! Love youuuuuuu!

I'm dedicating the next few hours to updating at least one story. Wish me luck :D Love you girl x

I will watch a movie and maybe get inspired to write, because I know every time I watch love and basketball, I'm ready to write about anything that has to do with love.
Author's Response:
I have a couple of movies that enspire me too :D Thanks so much for your advice x

Hi there :)
Usually I use things that have happened to me or that I have witnessed in real life and I just add them onto the story. Music helps to, if you listen to the lyrics carefully or a movie. :)
Author's Response:
Thanks for the great advice. Just started listening to Give in to Me on my iPod as I saw your view.....spooky, huh?!

Thank god! I've actually found someone who's having the same problem as me. I blame mine on school, I started college a few days ago--I lost all my focus on my stories, and I can't even write as much anymore. This writer's block is killing me.
And by the way, I've read your stories..one word: Awesome! :)
Author's Response:
Thank you so much darling x you don't know how amazingly wonderful that makes me feel! People go on and on about reviews and I do my best to not focus on them but it honestly is so encouraging to get a few words on something I've spent so much energy on. I've never been someone who gets reviews, not sure why lol
Back to the writers block, I feel your pain x I've come to love the characters I've created and i feel I'm doing them a dishonour by not continuing their stories. (lol just realised how weird that sounds)
Much love darling and thank you again x

Oh, absolutely. music sometimes or just...give yourself a break and hopefully the ideas will come to you..
Author's Response:
Thanks for your suggestion. I don't have so much of a problem coming up with new ideas as I have a whole list of them, it's the inspiration to continue the stories I've already got going. I also have absolutely no problems with helping other writers develop their stories.....I know, weird huh?! Lol. Thanks again sweet x
