(Understandable, but just stating facts here.) During the lack of updates period, it was easy to lose interest. Also there's often no obvious indication when the next update will be, how often there are updates. I suppose one of the most annoying things in my opinion has been the jumping from one storyline to another, leaving the former incomplete. If the story doesn't interest me, or I'm too lost to follow, I skip it. Eg. I'm having trouble working out the plot now, and I've no idea where to turn to for past pages. Which leads me to the archives: I know it may be troublesome to catalogue, but it is pretty much either read the whole story from the beginning or not at all. For example, if I wanted to refresh my memory on the Feral storyline, but wanted to start from somewhere in the middle, that's a lot of clicking, and who knows how much... I would rather save myself the inconvenience. As for ads, there's nothing I see that really appeals to me, so I don't click: but that's just because they're not really my taste. Maybe run a poll to see what sort of an audience you have? Navigation wise, I can see new readers getting confused. As a "current" reader I still get confused. It's nice and simple, but I think this website could be more user friendly. Those are my main iffs. Apologies about the huge block of text, but I hope that this helps you out, even if a little. In the meantime, I'll continue following ROCR, and please keep up the good work. Cheers.
