foxeye1,
Take heart, jeanne is not your average reader. I wouldn’t assume I am either, so I’m going to give you some stats about readers of erotica in general.
Erotic stories are, on average read by around 70% of the people who 'view' them. How do I know this? Simple, another erotic stories site (email me if you want the name of it) posts the percentages of readers that actually read their stories.
Now, how do they know that? Well, that’s simple too. They have a system whereby the first 500 words of a story are post on one page, and the remainder on a following page. A click on the first page registers as a view, and one on the second, a read.
Again, I wish you will with your writing.
jeanne,
You are right, it would be silly to try to review a story after only a couple of sentences. If a writer can't 'hook' a reader in the first few lines, then chances are they're not going to interested in the remainder of the story. Having said that, I've skimmed over parts of a stories that weren't quiet my cup of tea, and still enjoyed them. Particularly, if the writer has a style I enjoy.'Hey, I read a few sentences of your opus and I realized your main characters don't shave their pussies, well that's a no-no-for me, bye'. Utterly useless for a writer.
