@rebellious_one:
Thank you for the kind words. Sorry I took so long: I posted the chapter right before I went to work, so I didn't have time to reply then.
I'm used to OF playing second fiddle on fanfic sites, and don't take it personally, especially not if the site is based around a specific fandom (such as BSB). Even before I started posting to story sites in the last couple years, I've been posting my work on forums for over a decade, and I'm used to getting varied reception in different places. I've also never gotten much in the way of reviews anywhere, but I've found that at most sites I get a respectable number of views, which means that someone, somewhere, is reading it. Meaning that I've never thought of myself as wasting my time, and thus I continue posting, even at sites where I don't get many hits, because as long as somebody is reading, I owe it to them to finish what I start.
As a reader, I find few things more vexing than an interesting tale that just gets dropped. (Personally, I maintain a policy of never posting the first chapter of something until I've written the last.) In all fairness, though, I've been working on this series for many years, so there were already 15 installments in the series to catch up with where I'm at right now. Once I catch up with myself, it'll slow down to about a chapter a week, to cut back on the wait between installments. (I just wanted to point that out, because I'm not as superhuman my author profile makes me appear to be; individual installments can vary greatly in how long it takes me to write them.
But, while I work on other projects from time to time, Tradewinds is my life's work, and I always come back to it.
