I never understood the point of telling someone not to write if I didn't like a story--it's all subjective, isn't it? I don't presume to tell someone else what makes good story (spelling, on the other hand--I go into fits over spelling errors *L*); that would be completely egotistical of me.
Oddly enough, considering the Harlequinesque nature of some of my stories (cavities free, ask me how!), the only negative fb I ever received was about a description of a woman pursuing Skinner at a wedding; I apparently am insensitive about fat women, which, considering that the bathroom scale gibbers in fear when I approach it, is pretty damn funny.
Keep on doing whatcha do, Hal--but if you're going to be knitting, it was -55 with the wind chill here a couple of days ago, I could use a hat!
Cheers!
