For Ripples SPOILER WARNING. There were questions asked, Erik simply blocked that all out. His pretty twisted mind came up with a scenario that was easier for him to handle. Remember, you need proof or very strong circumstantial evidence to arrest someone, and there was clearly none of either. Again, he simply blocked all this out. The importance of the swamp grew out of all proportion because he was unhinged. Or was it indeed because of the swamp? Were the swamp zombies even real or was it all just his very disturbed mind? I deliberately left questions unanswered to let the reader fill in the blanks themselves. Sometimes I don’t want to hold the reader’s hand right to the finish; sometimes I prefer to let the reader do some of the work. Remember, this is just a story, and exceptionally few stories truly stand up under microscopic scrutiny. ;-)

Yeah, non sexy stories definitely get less love than plain old smut, usually. And original stories also usually get less attention than fan fiction, sadly. I get more enjoyment out of writing non-smut actually. I agree. I like using my imagination, for porn and non-porn, and it’s hard to do that when you’re being hand-held right through the story. I guess that’s one reason why I enjoy leaving some of my stories open-ended and allow the reader to come to their own conclusion to various degrees.

Have you ever written a story that you’re particularly proud of but ended up receiving little attention from anyone? Perhaps it got very few, if any, reviews. Mine is probably a story called Ripples. I tried to make it feel as much like a Stephen King story as I could manage, and I’m pretty pleased with how it turned out. It only got the 1 review. My stories never get too many more than that normally anyway, but I always wished it had got appreciated more. Maybe my pride in the story has caused me to be particularly biased towards it, and therefore can’t see it for the average story it really is. Do you know why your story didn’t get much attention, or is it a puzzle to you?
