♣ INTRODUCTION ♣
So you've made enough of a presence to garner a steady trickle of readers. Some of them vote, and some of them even leave you a comment. They lavish you with praises, they demand for quicker updates, they ask when there'll be a sequel.

[*] not an actual user. Or, if it is, it's purely coincidental. Don't go looking for them.
