Hey, I've been following this one guy's blog/story-thingy. Basically he posts each week part of a story called Fire Child, it's kinda like a webcomic but without the art (although it would make a freaking awesome graphic novel). Anyway, this guy makes a most today saying that he's considering to stop.  It was around this time I was yelling "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" at my screen cuz I've already been hooked by it. But then he also says that he'll continue if enough people wants him to (which I thought was kinda awesome on his part), anyway, do yourself a favor and go check out his blog. Read the story and then you'll see why I'm here asking for help. Then please for the love of all the superdudes (and chicks) on the planet message him and tell him to keep writing.
Here's the address to his blog:

Yeah that font isn't a great choice for a blog.
I understand the OP wanting to drum up some support, but I can't say I approve of the story writer's approach; he's basically saying "I need to be stroked constantly or I'll stop." And you know we all like feedback but this isn't really the way to get it--if you want more than you're getting then you need to look into how you can make what you're doing more appealing, whether that be by advertising, writing a better story, getting some illustrations to make it more attractive, getting a more open comment system, changing the darn font, or whatever. _________________  |

I find it difficult to respect creators who threaten to quit unless they receive enough validation from their followers.
As a creator, your primary reason for writing should be your own love of storytelling, not the opportunity to have a lot of people tell you how great you are.
Concerning the font, I did find it hard to read. I skimmed the latest entry and wasn't impressed with the writing either. Additionally, if you want people to read you might consider improving your site navigation-- don't expect potential readers to hunt through the archive for your first entry. |

Is this like one of those farewell tours that turns into two, then three or four farewell tours?
