I hear you. I'm not honestly trying to get a belt or a reaction. However I do worry a bit that after CPotM closes for the month (hell, any month for that matter. ;-). That nominated stories will fade back into obscurity like so many other writings.

I'd obviously love to win, however whether I fail or succeed, the main issue  on my mind is that  people actually read/listened to my work. That all said, there is some stiff competition this month. I have read Lindedbree's story, and I think it's great! The same for Sshakenbakee. And of course Kasseopea who has a cool pasta up (two, I belive). Unfortunately I can't fully appreciate the story of Attrition of War , as I am a bit unfamiliar with the source material. However, I tend to pick things up quickly. and despite the reasons listed above, I got through the entire pasta without too much confusion

I'm a bit older, so I don't think I'll ever really be too regtretful/ashamed of, or embarassed when I see, or read something from my older works. I took out most of the discouragement and shame in my work when I was younger ;) Still, it can get frustrating trying to make a name for one's self in any discipline

So I'll just keep writing and posting on the wiki until something I've done, once more. starts to gather regard. Thanks again for the message R.D.
