Yeah, it can be a real ghost town.

A Little bit of everything, though I rarely click on a novel and read. I'm more of a casual browser.

I've only deleted one story so far, and that was mostly because I couldn't think past the beginning of it, and wanted to completely re-arrange it around. In the end, I rehashed a lot of ideas from the story but turned it into something new and a lot fuller and smoother.

I managed to get even some of that rare 'magic' when I wrote the 2.0 version, so though I was very disappointed in myself and even depressed to see the first version of the story flops so badly, I'm much happier in the results I produced a little later down the line.

Most of the time, I usually leave my stories online to rot alone and abandoned, a weird reminder of how I need to improve and do better. I usually always post a notice that it is discontinued when I do though. I don't know. I guess I like facing the disappointment of my meager readers.

I also agree with you about writing even when you know it won't be anything like what you have in your head. Sometimes, you produce a rare jewel without even realizing it, surprising yourself and later wondering 'Did I really write that?' when you go back and re-read it. :)
