Why don't people leave comments? - Comments

Not trying to be mean or anything, but a LOT of people refuse to comment stories, no matter how good or bad, if people keep on begging for comments in the A/N at the end. We comment you because we want to tell you how well you're doing or something you might want to work on. But not a lot of people like it when you're begging or telling them to comment.

It feels like they're being forced to.

Or, I hate when you write this awesome chapter, like it's the climax of the story, and you get, like, two comments about it.
-_-
That happened to me yesterday. Comments make me feel so happy, just to know what other people think. Subscribing just isn't enough anymore. =}

I have 53 readers on my newst one and only one comment.
It makes so sence..

Yeah, I do love my glorious readers yet I have something like 13 subscribers and 8 comments for 7 chapters. That math doesn't work out.

The moral of the story is... Comments make writers happy.

I understand. I wish I got more comments. I'll admit, I never used to comment on other stories; but, now I do because I know what it's like to write but get no comments.

alfred e. neuman: Stars are mainly based off of readers and subscribers...but I think comments help a bit. :)

I know!
And if I like a story, I'll always comment it. =)

Getting no comments is so disappoting, especially since the star rating is based off of them (I think, right?).

That happens to me all the time. My story has lots of readers and subscribers but only three of them comment. But I'm happy knowing they're reading, even if they don't comment.
Comments just give you more want to update the story.

Whore your story basically. Post links in journals; if you have a more popular story, post a link to a less popular one asking for comments; trade comments with people; use the pimping/reccing thread.

ughh

it makes me so angry when you know you have subscribers and readers but NO ONE comments!
