Just changed the ending of my short story thanks to helpful reviews.

Pretty sad how many people declined the review requests and all these GP back in my balance!

Will keep on trying

I have just published Chapter 1 of "The Plan!" for those looking for a short read and quick intro to my work. Please let me know what you think. Only 6kb

I'm a newbie - struggling to get reviews even though I am willing to pay - have spent 17,000GP (in escrow so far) and only one agreed to review and no reviews so far - despite it being a 20 minute short story read.

I'm getting the impression that the site may not be as active as one might think?

Do you write any poetry? If so, you could join the "Invalid Item"

. We have a "Invalid Item"

page where you can post your work and request a review (poetry only, sorry).

If you would like to join, either answer here or email me by clicking the envelope next to my name. Good luck!

I just sent you a review and no gps are necessary. Sorry for the lack of reviews.

In your port, however, there is only one item of 27 kbs. Although it is a good story, it looks long to read at first sight, but the writing is skillful and its reading goes fast enough, so people shouldn't be discouraged.

I'd also like to suggest that you post a few smaller sized items, too, so the readers in WdC can get acquainted with your work.

Hey Jon. Maybe you could put each chapter or two chapters in separate items.... so they are shorter reads for folks and they can come back and do the next chapters another time. Sometimes it is a time thing.

You already have it in chapters so it can be broken up in smaller item forms. Just an idea.
