Merely from a reader perspective, i have read, voted and commented on all the challenges that have occurred during my time here.
Now the orientation of the challenge subject has often not been what i would choose to read, however i then find i focus more on the authorship skills shown within the story, and a little less on the tenderised derriere, though there gotta be good spanks to get my thanks.

Those authors who say they are not entering this challenge i say that's a pity, as the authorship skills of most here, in my opinion enables them to write a masterpiece in any orientation, if not entering then i thank you for your previous efforts, and look forward to future ones.
I hope non entering authors will read, vote and comment on this challenges entries, as your comments are informed and carry gravitas, which no doubt is valued by the story author.
From a reader viewpoint, comments from other authors on all stories here on LSF, do add a great deal to the comment section.
