how I get people over to read my un-game stuff.....I publish and they come...
I like news and fact articles (as, for example, those on clean energy and global warming).
I dislike rants against famous people and politicians and hate rants against victims.
Now that I think of it I don't like rants in general though I can sympathise with rants against injustice.
I look forward to reading anything by a handful of people in that they always interest me. I specifically enjoy short stories, poetry and political topics.
Additionally, an article sterile of emotion will, usually, have a much more limited "draw".
