I like GS, just don't love it enough to actually volunteer to write for it. (NM)

: : That's a cry for feedback if I've ever heard one.

: : Lack of extensive editing prior to posting is a bad habit that I, too, have (there are typos every other paragraph in all the IJatIFoD chapters I wrote), so I can cut some slack with that. Problem is, I've read the past 2, then gave up halfway through 3. At first I was like, "Ok, a western story on an Indy forum, alright, something off the path, I can dig it," and I started reading. I didn't even bother with the pictures, which at some points completely distracted my mental view of the story and characters.

: : Then it became more and more irrelevant, I lost interest faster and faster, and then had no interest in it at all. Right now, I'm at a point of negative interest, if that's possible, which I think it is. It's not an attempt at being funny, apparently, like my Space Ghost Coast to Coast cross over was and is going to be, it's got a plot line that only die hard western fans could like, unlike GS which only a die hard forum fan could like, and in short, I don't like it.

: : This isn't a personal shot at your writing skills, Short Round, the thing is, few westerns can appease me, Tombstone being one of one and a half. I don't think the story is for people like me, but if the reader is a western fan, I'm sure they'll like it.
