Hello all! It's Smokey125, under a slightly modified new account name. I'm unsure what exactly went down when I signed up with my original account, but I have never been able to post on the forum with it. So at one point it was brought to my attention that I might want to try creating a new account with a new password, and try that. It still wouldn't work in my default browser, which is Chrome, but I tried Explorer, and lo and behold, here I am. You're welcome.
Kidding.
I wanted to begin posting on the forums before for a couple of reasons. One was to announce when I was posting a new story. My most recent one was "Through Thick And Thin" on December 4th. I have no new NT submissions since that one, but I'm making this post right now for the other reason. I'd like to make it known of course that I'm exceedingly grateful for all Reader attention and feedback. You mean the world to me, and I just wish to put it out there. And also to illustrate this point, I've gone back through all the Reader comments I've received, and answered each one. Prior to this point, I confess I was under the impression some Readers preferred the authors left their comments alone and did not reply, but have since come to realize this may instead be the case elsewhere. So whether you have left me a story comment or not, I do hope you get a chance to read this post, and know that I'll continue to answer your comments from here on out as well. I am also in the process of contributing a post to (M)Arti(n)'s blog with my own input to NovelTrove and the writing process.
In conclusion, my friends, your feedback will always be welcomed, valued and appreciated, as I mention in each intro. I have the next story in my NT queue, and just need to re-edit it as usual before submitting. I hope you enjoy it whenever it finds its way onto the site. Cheers, folks! —Love, Smokey
