Hey sweetie!!
I just wanted to commend you for being the most consistent author I've seen on this site!! You've probably seen the threads of "cliques" and reviews and yadda yadda yadda, and I just want to tell you that you are truly an admirable author! I see your posted updates, yet no reviews, and you STILL continue to post your work regardless. As I've read Mare point out, it'll probably take some time for readers to warm up to original stories, myself included. Fictional stories of the Backstreet Boys is actually what made me enjoy reading! Lol.
I tend to use you as a perfect example to people that complain they don't get enough reviews because they aren't "popular" or aren't apart of the "clique". I bring your name up, because you're the perfect talented author that posts your stories, posts your updates, and even though there's no reviews, you CONTINUE to post and share your work! You're just simply amazing honey, and I just wanted to commend you on that and tell you to keep doing what you do... though it may seem like your work goes unnoticed, know that you as an author and person truly doesn't go unnoticed! :)

@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. 8-)
