@TMM
There are few things that may annoy you in PCM14, but it's not really bad. I'd say it's somewhere on level of PCM13 with less crashes. I hate R&D system because it's not properly done, but most of guys like it, so you'd have to try it yourself.
Thanks! It's always nice to hear that. Hopefully, I'll manage to keep my motivation this time (if I start that story) and with improved English, I hope I'll be able to make a nice mix of an actual story and some PCM, so not just dull racing as it was most of the time.
The irony is that you're telling me I should keep my motivation up. We're in the same shit when it comes to keeping story motivation, mate.

I'm glad to announce that I have found an idea for a future Cult Energy story. Just need banners and other graphics ready and come up with from what point the story will come from

The Cult story will be released at the 1st October. The story will be out of the point of view of a reporter, which got a 1 year assignment to travel the world with the team. However this Reporter is more clever than you might suspect...

Sounds interesting and a nice way to write a story about  |

To be honest, I really like PCM 14. I haven't played much of it outside EPIC TdF yet to be honest, but the gameplay and career look very good to me. I honestly don't understand all the criticism, but maybe that's just me being lucky.

I think it's okay, but really haven't played it enough yet to give a good judgement. Though the EPIC TdF hasn't been too great. 
Also, it's strange how their seems to be little interest in stories for PCM 14, with only The Two of Us and the 80's having reached more than 10 pages. Why is that, does anyone know?
It's even worse for my story, where I count myself lucky if I get 1 comment after an update. I presume that's down to the fact that I haven't gotten to the interesting stages yet though. Hopefully it'll pick up in a weeks time.

I have no idea, maybe because you actually haven't used PCM yet

Stories like the comeback basically had a cult following before PCM though, and I know from personal experience most stories don't get any better than 1 person per update, even if more read sporadically. |

I am with The Hobbit here. You do not start a story on PCM Daily if you want views/comments, do it because you enjoy it. If you wrote something as fantastic as 'Crime and Punishment' and posted it here it would be the same..... |

What I was more trying to say is that in general, PCM 14 stories aren't getting much love. Jack O'Connor was basically the same as Ivan, but with worse writing (IMO), yet it had way more followers. Just found that a little strange.

It's really strange to be an active member without a story to write. However, that might change soon, as I have few story plans (as always, of course). It's still not 100%, due to being really busy lately, but I think I can take some time to spend on old-good story-writing. Will see.
This might not happen after all. The lack of time is killing me and it's really hard to adapt to it. Seems like I really underestimated it. I also have few ideas in my head and some of them are pretty creative, but I am afraid I'll make the same mistake with most (well, except Adria and Trek) of my stories so far and finish another story of mine before it it even starts properly. I am also not 100% sure of the game I'll be using. PCM13 still looks more stable to me compared to PCM14, but because of few new, additional features in the newer version, I am still in doubt.
Or I am simply just overthinking about all this.

Well it's mentioned that you only have to make a story if you enjoy making it , and I know that feeling, which is why I don't usually play one career, I usually have 4 careers at the same time, as it's too boring to play with the same riders over and over

Well, thanks for the advice, but I've written (mostly failed) so many stories up to this moment to know pretty much everything about story motivation and how does it work.

So, Fabio is finally back, but the good lord doesn't want it to be. My game wasn't working, then it got fixed but I went on a month long holiday straight after. Then I got back and played up until the spring classics (and reported) and then I had to do EPIC TdF. Now I'm back, and next week I have a trip, and then I have exams 
It'll be hard, but hopefully I can get back to that peak of 4 comments an update. Also, I believe I recently passed the 1 year mark, so that calls for a
