Well, yes, most writers do. But there is a special, oddly pure bond when it comes to readers of my free stories, whether those are fan fiction or original fiction. I’m not making money directly from those stories. I get nothing out of them except the initial satisfaction of writing, and the reviews and comments of my readers.
That said, I’m getting a big kick out of the over 800 hits and dozens of comments (in only three days) on my latest effort over on Archive Of Our Own.
Thank you.
