You think no one cares about your story? Evertime I post a part to my
story, I only get 4 replies! I'm thinking of just letting it go and not
writing anymore of it since no one reads it.

You got 4 replies?  Wow!  That must be nice!  That's 4 more replies than
my intro got, 3 more replies than ch.1 got, and 2 more replies than ch.2
got of my fanfic.  I always knew I posted to see if anyone, even one other
person, in the universe found my stories as interesting as I do, but I
wrote it cause it burned in my head and cried out to be written (and then
it had absolutely no gratitude and insisted on being written halfway
decent instead of just being tossed off in a single frenzy and discarded -
the creative part of my brain could care less about how it looked, while
the poor analytical part of me was just cringed all the way through the
initial writing :).
