Subject: Brutally Honest Appraisal of "Needs & Desires"

When I first posted my attempt at a lemon, "Needs and Desires", the
response was resounding silence.  Well, that's not true; I did get a few
thoughtful responses.  But not nearly as much as I usually get, which
makes me believe that the story wasn't good.  Plus I managed to offend
Kun-chan in the process.  So it was my plan to never work on it again,
and to move on to other things.

After stating that, I've gotten a couple of replies from people thinking
I shouldn't kill the story outright, but go ahead and put it on my web
page.  I'm not so sure; I'd need to rewrite it to reflect the excellent
C&C I did get, and I'm just not convinced it's worth the effort.

So I thought I'd ask y'all, the ones who stayed silent:  What did you
think, really, of that story?  Should it die and never see the light of
day?  Was it so-so, maybe okay but not okay?  Or is it that you just
don't like lemons in general? (I actually fall into that category.)

Let me know, if you would.  

Thanks!
