I have to admit that I am guilty about the whole ' i want comments or i wont update' ordeal. But I do it because I just get mad when I have trillions of readers and no one takes the time to tell me their opinion. I'm not asking for you to say 'Great job bucko!', but I want constructive criticism. Like if it is something bad about it, then tell me. I don't know - maybe it's just me. But I understand you on every other area
ahh, when I was a rookie, I used to do that, but I don't anymore.
Well, I'm lying, I do have some stories that I just posted a chapter of, and I didn't really know if I wanted to continue them, so I will just say, if you like this, leave me a comment and I'll try updating, or something along the lines of that. But if I write a story that I seriously like, then I write for me.
I see where you're coming from, then. It is rather agitating when people say "I won't update until I get ten comments" or something like that. It's unfair to the readers who'd really like an update.
Same, and see I DO comment, but I go out of my way not to comment on stories when the author ask for comments for the next chapter. and see I am the kind of person when I find a good story and the author isn't a D-bag, I read their other stories AND tell people about the stories but, there is so few of those authors. D;
Well, comments are pretty much a major part of Mibba. This is a writing community and we're all here to help each other out and give each other advice. That means telling each other what we're doing right/what we're doing wrong. It's how authors are supposed to grow in their writing and improve themsleves.
And I get what you're saying about the layouts, but if you don't like them you can always click 'Default layout' and you won't have to see any of that.
To be honest with you, I'm completely shallow when it comes to reading other people's stories. I only read if I'm being asked to beta. Or if I actually like the author. But I'm also very good with letting them know how I feel about said story/chapter.
Some authors on here do aggravate me because of the whole "i won't update unless I get this many comments." because then I'm like fine, then. Don't update, I just won't read.
