I know in the slow moments I tend to try to catch up. But I do miss a few things. Commenting relates to that, but also if I have nothing to really add I tend not to. I am trying to break myself of that habit though since I know feedback fuels the fires of creativity. I am alot better at it than I used to be but not as good at it as I could be. __________________ http://www.zedsjoesite.com Home Scale Wars updated Mon-Fri Every Week

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.

Outrider It's been a great ride! Offline --> Posts: 14,302 --> Join Date: Jun 2005	Dio stories are fine if that's what you're into, but they aren't really my thing. I've read a few over the years and they really just don't grab my interest. That's not to say I don't appreciate the work that goes into them, because I do, and people should be proud of their work. They're just not for me, that's all. __________________ "The future's uncertain and the end is always near." - The Doors "Roadhouse Blues".
