I’m not sure how welcome my input is, given that outside a few comments and up-votes here and there, I really haven’t contributed to this site. I do appreciate all of you who publish quality stories here, and really hope you are able to continue. JOY’s content is not even at the level of a first draft. Seeing several “stories” from this individual is a bit draining, actually. I don’t bother to click on those any more, but JOY’s posts do bury the work of regulars and new writers who have something to say and that can’t bode well for this site. I hope those who are running this site are aware of what is going on an do something about it. I don’t want to see our better writers discouraged and those of us who have read and appreciated their work also become discouraged. I fear that is what is now starting to happen.

Yeah. It’s definitely spam.

I have some ideas about Kelly and Hallie. The initial story for them was in Kelly’s first-person voice. I have a follow-up idea that I will need to flesh out. The real challenge is to stay true to the original author’s voice. Once I think I have an idea that will work for me, I’ll contact you. We have time. I agree that the number of likes is strange and unhelpful. You need something tangible now. I am guessing that there are probably a lot of people here who are just grateful that you have picked up the torch for a favorite storyline.

I might have some ideas for Kelly and Hallie’s story. I’ll need to think a while. Their story is definitely far from done. I’ll think on it a bit, and if I have some notes, I’ll email you. I hope the person behind Barbershoptales is okay. I’ve done collaborative blog posts (outside of our community) with someone who just disappeared, and once I was able to find out what had happened, I ended up doing a lot of mourning. That was ages ago. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.

I was very excited to see what Katie’s sister, Kelly, and her new roommate were up to after that story in what seemed to be an expanded universe for this series. It’s pretty obvious that Kelly isn’t growing her hair back any time soon. I wonder if Hallie felt the same, and if they had managed to incite (for lack of a better term) any other women in their university to shave their heads. Maybe that story line was already being developed.

(This is also what I said in the comment to your story, just in case you deleted it).
