From the lack of disclaimer you may have already guessed that this is not a part to the story, but I don't know how many people actually read 'announcements' made by authors, so I thought I would get most people to read this by titling it as a part to the story. I have already reneged on my previous promise to get out at least one part a week, and for this I am truly sorry. But I hope you will understand when I explain that I am currently working on several huge assignments to ensure my future when I leave education will be a secure one. Add to this that my Grandmother is slowly dieing from Breast cancer which she kept secret for about 3 years, when it was revealed late last year, we discovered it was too late to do anything that would seriously affect it. So you can probably imagine that I am under a huge amount of stress at the moment, and am on the verge of tears most of the time, for those of you who haven't been in a situation similar you can only guess at what is going on in my mind, but for those of you who have been in a similar situation, I hope that you can understand and empathize with me. Anyway, back to the point. I am always very over critical of my work, and was very surprised with the feedback I have had so far, in that I have only had positive comments and not one criticism. But it is in this feedback from you, the readers, that my problem lies. I just haven't had enough of it. I have had a total of about 15 E-mails since I started writing Whistle down the wind, and most of these are from just three different readers, I know there are more than three of you reading this. If 1 in 10 men are gay then that means around 5% of the worlds population is gay, this may not sound much but that is billions of people, if only a quarter of these people know about Nifty and only a quarter of them read in the boy bands section and only a quarter of them have read my story that is still more than 3 people for god sake. So to put it simply, I will not be publishing any more parts to Whistle down the wind until I get more feedback, good or bad I don't care, I want some peoples opinions. But even more importantly I want to know that there are more than 3 people reading, if you're reading this then you must have read the other 5 parts, therefore you must have formed some opinion, if you've read all 5 hopefully a good one. E-mail me your opinions, comments, criticisms, suggestions for what to do in the story to Zmaster125@Hotmail.com you don't have to say anything at all if you don't want, just a blank E-mail would be appreciated, just so I know that you're reading, an 'I like' or 'I hate' would be lovely and a detailed description of why you like or why you hate would be fucking fantastic, just send what you want just so I know you're reading. If you're feeling really brave and have a Microsoft passport account then put Zmaster125@Hotmail.com in your messenger contact list and catch me in an online chat. Just remember I'm in the UK, so I'm between 4 and 8 hours behind anyone in the US, but there should be a few times when I'm on the net at the same time as a few of you. In short if I don't get some feedback soon I will stop posting to Nifty and Andy's website (www.envy.nu/Dreamslash) and just E-mail the story to those people who have supported me from the start, I will in no way stop writing, just stop posting the story. Thank you in advance, I look forward to an over flowing inbox, fingers crossed ;-), very soon. Regards The 125th master of sleep P.S. that's where Zmaster comes from, Z meaning sleep, as in Z...Z...Z, the 125 is un-important, it's just that someone beat me to getting Zmaster@Hotmail.com so my address is Zmaster125@Hotmail.com
