IF YOU'RE A READER OF M/M STORIES, PLEASE READ
I'm writing this short note to thank all of you, but also to let the M/M community know that myself and many of the forum's remaining M/M authors have noticed a concerning downtick in reader participation over the course of the last few months.
A year ago, the local F/F and F/M communities were struggling. But the roles have since reversed and it is now the M/M community that's lagging behind and struggling in terms of audience interaction and readership participation.
Some of us have been using in-story polls to monitor how many registered readers are actively following different storylines. Alas, the number of votes such polls amass are astronomically higher than the number of readers signalling their presence or support on said stories.
We have thousands of silent M/M readers logging in here every day.
I'm calling out to all M/M readers logging in here multiple times a week:
Your participation is needed, even if only to signal the author of your presence.
Any comment, no matter how short is better than no comment at all.
The authoring community you have come to depend on for new M/M content needs you.
There's no reason to be shy about posting comments. Your identity and the identity of all like-minded people using this board is completely anonymous.
If you log in to read and consume new chapters of stories you're following, take those extra seconds to signal your support or presence in the comments. The more readers signal their presence, the more authors increase their rate of production.
Reader participation is intrinsical to the survival of this board. The M/M community will only flourish so long as new and established users continue to step up in support of it.
LET'S HOPE SOME NEW AND NOT-SO-NEW FACES DECIDE TO JOIN IN
