thanks very much, appreciate that. I know a bit of a notification storm but I never know who will pick up on which notification and am always hoping for fast credits to try and trend which usually ensures reaching 500+ for the 3000 credits

DavidP

Thanks. It's made it onto the Trending list, so should hopefully go on to reach 500. You may enjoy this one, an illustrated story, Adult but not too graphic: https://budgetpixel.com/blog/passion-rekindled

Thanks, appreciate that. I try not to over do it, to be considerate while obviously hoping to attract enough attention to reach the 50 ❤️s

Don't worry, your notifications don't bother me, but there are others that do go overboard and get a bit annoying.
