I have a longer story, the newspaper serial I mentioned, which needs a good reader. I hope that I would be able to handle honest criticism. I have revised this story off and on over the past 10 to 15 years, and I'm currently working on brushing up the complete second draft for release on Hive. I know that if it's ever going to be truly finished, it needs a reader. I'm contemplating inviting readers when I publish to Hive, with an eye toward setting any readers that offer constructive comments as beneficiaries on the chapter posts. Is that something you might be interested in doing?

Thank you again for the attention you've given my work. It's great to have someone actually read the stories, and of course being called a talented writer is encouraging. That kind of feedback is what we writers live for, isn't it? :)
