I am more of a reader than a writer, and I rove the site, reading and commenting. I leave no flames, simply ignoring the undeserving stories; and encouraging and suggesting to those who are worthy.
My topics are chosen when I have sufficient interest in them, and during those periods of time, I chose one favourite author for each topic and add them. My favourite authors include some in exile.
My favourite stories are more leniently chosen, simply being added to on a whim.
My last word to all authors out there is this:
Look. Listen. Feel. Choose. Write.
