I came to this site almost a year ago, when there were MUCH fewer people, and every new story that came in was read. There was once a time where the site was not pooling with stories and new users, when stories lacked crude material, and all of that good stuff.

For as long as I have been here, I have seen some amazing authors, read great stories, and have made many friends.

But as of late, it seems like this website is going into a general decline, almost as it did in the middle ages.

Stories keep coming faster than people can read them, and their quality is not necessarily that great. Some of them are somewhat terrible. Worst of all, a few of the good authors have essentially left.

So now we have these new users in here, some of which criticize stories way too seriously, while they have not submitted a single one themselves. Back when I joined, people might submit one or two stories a week. Now we have people who join and submit upwards of four stories within the same day.

As for myself, I have not had much luck with writing new stories. I have ideas, but it just does not work out for me like it used to. If things continue like this I might as well leave.
