Zombie Charles Perrault is still pissed.

I've always shied away from this sort of self-promotion before, but I'm dreadfully excited about a new story so I'm taking the plunge. Stories are here: http://members.adult-fanfiction.org/profile.php?no=1296954634&view=story (mostly original works, some fanfic from time to time.) The new one specifically, is Cheer Raider & SABRE Panther, a magical girl/mecha team-up story with plenty of fun sexy times. I figure especially around here that's right up everybody's alley. It's a 13 "episode" series with new ones going up weekly. Also things got a little out of hand and I ended up with theme songs for it. So, enjoy that, and the other older stories, and future stories, and feel free to reply here with comments, questions, and discussion.

You can. Stereotypical villains can be interesting \. Or you could simply make the story less about the villain. Look at Lord of the RIngs. Did you notice that Sauron (despite being the big bad) never really factors in the story? He’s there, in the same way the trees the grass and the mountains are but he’s not the focus. In such cases the Villain is more treated as a force of nature, something the protagonist must react to, In these cases the meat of the story is what sort of actions, changes and reactions the villain brings out in the characters. The raptors in Jurassic Park, Jason Voorhees, The Shark from Jaws. These are prime examples of that. Not every story needs to be focused on a grand, looming conflict. Sometimes just the task of getting from A-B is enough. Sort of like in a video game.You aren’t thinking about the last boss fight. Your attention is focused on surviving one area at a time., and I’d say that makes for some thrilliung engagement.

It’s tough to get feedback. My stories (ignoring the round robin), have 3 posted reviews, and those stories aren’t short either. I did delete the old first story (that’s being replaced by three) earlier this year, and that IIRC, had 3-4 reviews. And I’ve been on AFF for 2 ½ years. So, to have a one review in a month, that’s better than my average. The one thing I do, and it helps, is I record the hits about every day, and I plot them (libreoffice’s calc), and seeing the consistent jump after posting a chapter/episode does let me know that people are reading, and enjoying it enough to come back for another instalment. Now, the round robins we’ve been starting to have, in 2015, and I’m pushing on the 2016, are good because they help give you a bit of exposure, perhaps pick up a new reader or two.
