Well, I'm still working on my first ever diostory, and I am doing it for myself; but of course I expect some feedback from others, so I can get a different POV of my work, which I think is always positive, not only that, but necessary. I could do it for my sole pleasure, but then I wouldn't be able to know if my story is really interesting, or which are its weak points. I expect some reaction from it, be it positive or negative (mainly positive, I hope!).
