Review or not to review?

[Aurelius]

Fox: I respectfully suggest that in order for your statement to carry any accuracy, certain steps must be taken by Jinn:- all stories must be listed, alphabetically to ensure equal access, and the “new” and “updated” categories scrapped.

Good idea. I've just uploaded my new story. "Aardvarks in Bondage."

Lex: I have strong doubts that the review process as practiced on this site has any positive or negative impact on most writers.

The reviews are a kind of 'visitors book' for a story, and while not necessarily a true measure of the 'worth' of a story, they do provide a useful guide for readers and writers alike.

We writers work harder than many would suppose to produce our little stories. Knowing that somebody out there was amused and/or aroused by my work encourages me to keep writing.
