I read the ones that look interesting to me, but I rarely comment. I probably should comment more, because I'm often wondering why my own stories don't get more replies, but I'm really just getting the same treatment I give (or in this case don't give) to others.

I actually prefer the more serious ones. I'm all for the occasional moment of comedy, but overall, I don't think Joes work very well for Toyfare-style stuff. Of course, this is assuming you meant "less serious" as in "comical." If you mean "light-hearted," then I definitely agree! G.I. Joe shouldn't be morbid and full of wanton death and destruction. I like stories that have the tone of the cartoon and most of the Marvel comics run -- characters and situations that can be taken serously (and take themselves seriously), but plenty of wisecracks and over-the-top dialogue to keep it fun.
