This might seem really silly but congrats on 69 followers!! Always gotta celebrate our favorite number haha! (Though, it would be nice if we could getcha to at least 1k, it makes me sad to see such an amazing writer like you not get the attention you deserve. :( )

@purplreign  Thank you!  I appreciate both the congratulations and the sentiment.  I've gotten kind of used to my stuff being mostly overlooked though.  I've had a Patreon for going on five years now and have never had more than about a half dozen patrons.  
            I've always been glad that people enjoy my writing, but I've accepted that it isn't anything that would ever really cut it as a professional level work.  It means a lot that people do celebrate my stuff though and have even had a couple people tell me that my work has inspired them to do their own creative works.  My dream is for people to enjoy my characters and stories enough that I someday get to see someone cosplaying as one of them.  Hahaha

Hello 
          I just started reading your book the collaring of Chloe, I must say it is one the most beautiful bdsm books I have read till date! 
          Absolutely in love with your writing and the romance and beauty you show so effortlessly. 
          Thankyou so much.

@adogra74 My thanks for the praise.  It is very appreciated and so great to hear.  It always makes me happy to know that I've managed to impart the love thee characters have well and that it has made them loved by the readers.
            
            I hope you continue to enjoy all the turns and funny twists as the series goes along.  :)

@adogra74 yes you are right ! Your book was like a breath of fresh air in a sex crazed genre. 
            The little things, the smiles, the gentleness that is much what happiness is about as well and it has been fantastically portrayed in the book! Heartiest congratulations!

@adogra74 Thank you very much for your words.  I'm so glad you're enjoying it.
            
            When I first started posting chapters, I was worried that it wouldn't get much attention, as so much of the erotica online is so much more sex-intense and focused on that, not on the love and relationships of those engaged.  I've been pleased with how many people have praised the story for not being like that and for how down-to-earth the depiction of the lifestyle is.  
            I love showing it as it often really is: play among lovers.

I think the way you write Chloe shows a massive respect for and knowledge of the nature of submission. If you ever do make it into an ebook and want beta readers, I'd be very willing to beta for you.

@JessieBabeLesfic Thank you, I'll keep that in mind.  While there wouldn't be much difference, it would help to have a few extra pairs of eyes helping me look for typos or places that need work.
            I appreciate the support.
            
            And I do have a LOT of respect for submission and submissives.  While I may skew to Dominance, I see people who are able to so completely submit as having great strength.  It takes more trust and will to give yourself to someone else that it does to take that control.  I think that is a large part of why I have such a different view of Dominance too.  For me, having someone submit to me is a gift they give me, not something to just take at will.   I consider the title of 'Master' to be something earned, not just assumed.

Hiii❤️ you deserve so much more followers 

MemoryofSnow

@Billies_Wifi Thank you for that Billie, I really do appreciate the kind comment.  I am grateful for every person who has shown me support and enjoyed my work.  While it would be wonderful to see huge numbers of followers, just having any at all is incredible.
            
            I put a lot of love in my writing and knowing that people enjoy reading it is the best feeling for me.  I love getting feedback, whether it's praise or constructive criticism.  I am glad you are along for the ride and I hope you continue to enjoy the story as it goes on.  :)

@ASCharleston   Thanks very much for your input.  A few things you mentioned do get covered in later chapters, though you did bring up some very good points that hadn't really put into the story yet.  I had originally zoomed through the 'exposition' of the first chapter to get into the main story, but I do agree that it might be better to take a step backwards and give the 'before' it's own chapter.  Thanks for the idea.  In fact, the original conversation with Master Heron had been just a summarized event in the beginning too, so I already understand what you mean.  
          
          As I said, a few things you brought up are revealed later in the story, in some cases purposefully withheld so to properly explore them later or for them to be mysteries that the reader is meant to put together over the course of the book.  I do agree with the overall sentiment though, Chloe probably could use a little more initial development.  (And I plan to add it.)
          
          I really hope you do decide to read more, if you are able, as I very much have profited from your thoughts on my first chapter.  However, if you aren't able, I understand.  Again, thank you for your thoughts on this chapter and I will make use of some of your advise.
