Okay, I'm just going to come right out and ask.

Has anyone who is reading this right now also read any of the weekly episodes of OIK, Two Magicians and a Boat and A New Chapter that have appeared on http://www.avevale.org/?

If so, did you enjoy them?

Alas, I haven't. Your output is astonishing, and right now I'm pretty much behind on my own writing, so I have very little spare time for reading - if any. I do feel awful about this because what I have read from you I have absolutely loved. (Every time you write something in that Sherlockian verse, there is legit squeeing involved while I am reading it. And what I read of Tetrad I loved, and I have a printed copy here now, so I hope to get caught up sometime in the not too distant future. I hope.)

Yes I have, all of them, and I love them.

I haven't. Even if I had the regular online time, which I don't, I don't particularly like reading episode-by-episode style. I much prefer waiting for the finished story and then reading it like any book, in the time I have and in my own pace. (Just like I prefer waiting for a TV show or at the very least a season to be finished before starting it. Waiting a week between episodes is no fun. Which is why we haven't even started Game of Thrones yet.)

I have finally started reading Tetrad on my Kindle, though. Will tell you what I think when I'm through. :-)

I haven't. I don't read fiction on-line very much at all, and when I do it is normally an impulse read of a short story by a favourite or recommended author. I like immersive reading of fiction, and actively dislike reading part-works. So if I ever read any of your work it will probably be by buying or borrowing the book (most likely on paper, though I do occasionally read a ebook).

I'm sorry if this is a disappointment for you, but I read your blog as your friend, not as an author's reader. And it is a very long time since I sorted out in my own mind that I have to read for my own purposes, and I won't read a book just because it is written by a friend,

I'm sorry, but I don't. You are my friend, and I admire you for writing, but your style isn't what I like reading. Sorry again.
