It's not about obligation, I promise; it's just about reading a good story written by a friend. And I know what you mean about wanting to feel like one has readers, whether or not they review. It's the one thing I miss about not posting on FF.net any more -- the lack of hit count tools.

I will write more Kinoc; I am a founding member of his fanclub, after all. ;) It's just finding the right ideas at the right time.
