NOTE:  The Feedback and Comments section that used to be on this page has now been moved to another page. Check out stories feedback for all feedback and comments posted up to and including August 19, 2007.

Rules of Etiquette for posting comments:

1. Be respectful
   Many of the story writers have never before felt safe enough to disclose abuse. Keep this site a soft place for them to land. Report inappropriate comments

   NOTE: The ratings feature for comments has now been disabled.

2. Be supportive
   Consider the story writer's feelings. Disclosing abuse, even in a forum such as this, where there is anonymity, can be an extremely harrowing experience. An abuse survivor who writes a child abuse story often does so with great angst and trepidation. Offer support and encouragement.

3. Do not include personal information
   I cannot control who visits this site—some visitors may have perverse motives. Therefore, in order to keep my visitors safe, I do not permit the disclosure of any information that is of a personal nature, such as last names, email or street addresses or phone numbers.

4. Do not include website or blog URLs
   Not all websites and blogs are appropriate to this site. Therefore, I do not accept website or blog URLs to be included in comments; they will be stripped from the posting.

If you need some guidance, Do's and Don'ts provides additional story comment ideas.
