I sort of like being side-stream, not mainstream. I got into working with the web through teaching online at a community college and being a web editor for a school district (two separate jobs that both use the web) back in 1997, when using the online medium for both jobs was not mainstream at all--and I loved it! It's mainstream now, and, while still rewarding, it doesn't have that wild type of freedom that side-stream stuff does.
I would freak out if I had 1,000's of readers. I like having just a handful--and knowing most of them! I would feel so exposed with that many readers, and I don't think I'd have fun.
My favorite story to write is the one that hardly anyone reads or even knows about! I feel like I can just express whatever I want with that, without even thinking about how readers will respond! There's something so liberating about just writing for writing, not for readers.
