Re: Wow...
Hi!


Yeah, I am sorry about the inactivity part. Different things have kept me busy so that I wasn't able to be as active here as I would have liked to. My apologies to Doom for not responding beforehand.


Now, RPCity, reading your post, I felt there were a few pieces of advice I could give you for advertising your items. First of all, I strongly recommend the usage of the so- called WritingML tags in order to create a link to the item in question. This makes things easier for people who can click and thus get directly to the item in question. This could then be a link to "Invalid ItemOpen in new Window. in your case, or maybe to something like "Macrophile Stories at Writing.comOpen in new Window. :) . Instructions about those tags are offered whenever you write something that may use them.


Then, I would strongly recommend that you tell people what your interactive is about, what you believe makes it special and worthwhile, and maybe what you have already written. And do not forget to mention the age restriction you have chosen!


So, for "Invalid ItemOpen in new Window., I would first point out that it is rated 18+. With 11 chapters written, it is still very much on the short side offering people a lot of freedom where to take the story. The main character is 20- year- old college student Steve, who, after a somewhat wild history with women, has finally been true to his girl friend Shannon for 6 months. While attending a job fair in hope of starting a career, Steve gets hit by an experimentary beam meant to shrink equipment for storage and transport. Initially, it has no effect, but a while later, he finds himself shrunk to 4 inches high after taking a nap in his hotel room.


The rules request to write proper entries, not those one or two sentence thingies. In addition male giants and size changing are forbidden. Finally, you are requested, not to kill Steve.

With only one thread developed a little bit (a Hispanic maid carries Steve away - breast & behind), there is very little to comment on right now. On the upside, as I mentioned before, it means that authors can take this story in a lot of different directions.


Okay, the last paragraph was my own personal comment/summary, but I think it should be obvious what I am trying to point out. If you want people to read your items, you have to catch their eye by telling them what to expect and maybe stress features you find especially remarkable about your story.


I have to admit that I will probably not add to your interactive - for one thing, I have to clean up a bit in "Shrinking down to sizeOpen in new Window., and then there is a new interactive I have been wanting to start for over a year now, but never got around to write the starting chapters (with only 5 chapters written and a rather chaotic working schedule, hell knows when it will be ready for the public). The other reason for my reluctance to participate in your story is that Steve is a bit too big for my taste - as you may have noticed, I am more the scale 100+ type :) - but that is just a matter of personal preference. I am sure there are quite a lot of people who would rather go for the 4 inches you use.


Anyhow, I wish you good luck with your interactive. It is still rather short, so participation will probably be relatively slow. That shouldn't discourage you. Just keep writing, then people will join in sooner or later.
