This is a short story about loyalty and friendship that one can get from Triond. It is also to let many know that you can not expect a loyal reader if you do nothing in return!
I have been with Triond since september, It hasn/'t been very long but I have learned many things from my friend's /fan's. I have even became close through some of their writings for i can feel what they are saying.They are all unique in their own way,we all have a different talent even in our write.Some poetry may be the same topic but if you notice many express themselves differently than how another would do so.I love this quality here on Triond.Imagine if we were all alike how boring this site would be.Everyday is a different day just like everyday Triond has much diversity.Iwould love to thank all of my fan's for staying loyal and trying to follow as much as possible for I know it does become harder as you reach a higher level of friend's. My petpeev would be...Do not expect great loyality from friend's you select just to build higher views and tell them you are reading their work.You are not obligated to do anything you do not wish.I do not expect you to read something if it does not spark your interest nor do I expect you to read poetry that you may not like.So it all comes down to a comment button and that allows your friend's to really see if you are following them,again I do not expect all submissions to be read.We as Triond writers,loyal friend's and fan's all feel the same way.Please read this article especially if you are new to the site and really think about what i am saying.Triond is a huge site filled with much talent and plenty of informative information as well.To all who use this site keep in mind how it really works and be respectful of one another and do your best to give in return, If you can not do so, Do not ask for opinion's on your work for we have many friend's to keep up with.I hope this write is of use and many understand it is written to help all out,especially newbee's.There is no malice intended here,just helpful hints to Triond users.
What you say is true Gabbic, I support where I can, sometimes I do not understand what the writer is trying to get across, sometimes a photograph doesn't spark interest and sometimes a piece of music just does not hit home, I cannot be expected to comment in these cases. New creators to Triond should take a little time to browse and select. Good advise here.
Awesome write and read. We can tell who is really reading our work and who is not. Do unto others, as the saying goes. Nicely done!

i hope you all enjoy this write for it is a truly helpful article and i really do not expect everyone to read and also i dont write like 5 or more a day...that is to hard 4 me w/ the kids so those who do and the ones i enjoy...i get to as many as i can to be fair to my other friend\'s as well! god bless,if u can write alot a day that is wonderful,i will get to as many as i can....i try my best to stay loyal to those who like my work in return....u dont have to love it but be respectful! gabbi
triond is a great community, great place to make friends, share ideas, opionions, thoughts...and this is a great article
normally i'll read something and i will leave a comment, its not very often that I just read.
Oh Gabbic how true, how true. I do feel this site is a very special place indeed and what makes it special is, its all of us as loyal friends and fans. You are so right about how diverse everyone's posts are. I love reading all that I can. My new addiction, this site and all of you!
very well said,loyalty and understanding-love it,i wish i could find more friends having these two valuable and priceless traits, a friend who is loyal and understanding is not obligated to read, post a comment and help promote your pieces but instead he/she feels happy in doing so.thank you for this wonderful post
good points. the one thing i find odd about triond (i'm a new user) is that they don't have "friend requests" per se, but instead you can run wild and "friend" as many people as you like, and it's then up to them to decide if they want to keep you or not. is it a good system? it takes some getting used to, for sure. but your point still remains clear:
I like to think of Triond as my Writer's Block - get it? I appreciate everyone who has commented, read and follows my work.

Well done, my friend. I always seem to find SOMETHING I like about what I click on to help friends.I read just as much as I compose. Lately it is more reading, but I gain so much from my friends comments and their great posts. that is what Triond is all about.
I feel everyone should read this and take your words as a gift of knowledge and experience. You are right with everything you so well express here. I myself have been lacking lately and apologize to all of my friends here. This will leave them thinking. Michael
Hi Gabbi liked your piece, you made some very important points. I, like you have a very busy life away from the puter...but I must say Triond to me is a great place and I do want to support my friends as much as I can partly because they give me a wonderful 'feelgood' factor. They make me feel very lucky to be here! and partly too because I want to be as active a member as I can be (given my own personal circumstances---just like yerself) Anyway good post...Gerix ps thanx for your support!.
You've said it all,gabbi, thanks. Am starting to read my friends' posts forward. As I have a lot of friends now, I just hope I could cope with all the reading :-)
