Just because it bother me lately...

[ica_90]

no. i never bother about it before. only lately when i found that guest statistic and that's when everything started.

i talked about this in twitter this morning and i'm just going to say it here as well.

i might be look bad if i say this but i found it extremely rude for people who read other people works, but left not even 'thank you'. it kinda bother me that in feel like blocking some people for reading my work, but then i asked 'what is the purpose of sharing'. i found a few readers who often read but never comment in my guest list and seriously that piss me off. but what angered me most is when you decided to befriend me but interact nothing with me. yes, that's what makes me lock my fic now and remove some people some people might not understand this, but sometimes for most writers, comments does encourage them. not commenting was like a silent message to these writers to stop writing.

i really tried to keep this inside me. but yesterday was my peak. i saw one of the writer decide to lock/delete her fics and i completely feel her. it was like you tried to give your best but no one appreciate. some new writers need encouragement. don't said the new one, even the senior writer needs one. having no one commenting makes us writer wondering if it is worth to keep on writing. it would be bias if i said readers won't understand. but...

a little "thank you" will do. i don't know if that thank you will bite you if you say it.

Comments

Actually im sad looking at the number of comment in some fanfics lately.Im just start to read last year so the comment i leave is not much and sometimes for old one, i didnt said any..hehe.

But compared with old fanfic, the number of comments is awesome. I dont know if it because there too much silent readers or there no one read it. Like you said, comments is another form of encouragement i wonder how writer feel if there no one comment it even it was a great fic.

For me, i try leaving comment in any fic that i read. To be true not all i can comment .. but still i tried and thank you words is only word i can give when my mind stuck.

Btw, who is deleting their fic? :o

Dont be discourage ne~ I like your fic. I didnt yet read the latest ohmiya series..? :b

Yup, it's disappointing looking at the number of comment for a fic. much disappointing when the fic is good but no one really comment on it.

i'm not the one who discourage. but it did bother me somehow. *sigh*

anyway, i notice you. the one who bother me is the one who read but NEVER comment/ talk to me. maybe i shouldn't bother them as well.

thanks dear. and that ohmiya one is sequel to maybe goodbye. still waiting for my beta :)

Hi dear!
Do not feel discorage. Like nadzsanz maybe there are people that reads but do not comment doesn´t mean that they do not enjoyr your stories.
Keep the great work and what you could do is always at the end just make a remark to comment. I´ve seen it in other fanfics.
I am also new in the world of fics so I will do my best to post :)

I don't really felt discourage, just wonder about it somehow. and watching how other fanfic writer feeling down because of it makes me feels sad as well.

good luck with your writing as well. i'll try my best for it. and i guess i shouldn't bother those people who don't even care about it.

thansk a lot dear :)

Hi
I still don't read your last stories I think read this saturday when nobody bother me But read your entry "RANDOM THOUGHT"and mmmmm I don't know what can I say. When I read it I have to think what can I writte? mm well and in my mind nothing comes well you know that you try to be ok and go on but I ask myself If that is only that you want to listen but you know that mmm well mybe I'm too thinking 'cause you only want to say that... thta's reason I don't comment nothing and i don't read more until today... I enjoy read your stories and I apreciate it and yes I think that leave a comment is important so I try to do.

Sorry for my rant. i guess i do offence some people about this, but i just being bother about it.

thanks a lot for everything you have comment before, it did encourage me.

some writers might want to hear more about people's idea. some are just fine with a simple thanks. i might say this for myself, but i'm sure that there are a lot of writers who felt the same.

there are not many writers who write nowadays. i just hope that 'no one bother about this' will not discourage them as much as it did to some writers

[atenea005.livejournal.com]

wel It's ok, don't worry I'm not bothered.
And yup you have reason. I hope with each comment I leave It can encourage you.
thank you for sharing with us XD

have a good day!! :D

I feel you, since I just started writing fics a year ago. But please... Don't get discouraged, as the ones who posted ahead has told you.

I'm reading fics, and as much as possible, I try to post a comment, so that the author would see that there are people who reads their works, and appreciates how they share their beautiful writings to everyone(this includes you, because really... I find your fics beautiful.^^)

Sometimes it does feel sad when fewer people comment at one's work. May it be because there really are silent readers, or maybe not. But with those few people who still comment, I think it really does still gives you encouragement because they want to tell the authors that they may be few, but they are still reading.

I'm not sure whether I was able to say thank you to all of your posts. But let me say it again.

THANK YOU ICA-90!~

I hope our thoughts were able to reach you. :)


Looking forward to your next update of fics! ^^

[ica-90.livejournal.com]

yeah. not every post is needed. as what i said above, these people reads but choose to be silent readers forever.

somehow you make me think that i shouldn't bother about these invisible people but care more on those who appreciate us writers.

anyway, for reading my post, my rant, thanks a lot. i'm sorry if any of my words sounds offensive, but i guess i'm just being bothered by it.

thanks a lot :)
