I do that too haha. I know it makes me happy when people rec my stories, even if they don't read them...I get all excited xD so yeah, you're not alone.
Nah. I do it . I like recommending stories even if I'm not interested in them or probably won't actually read them. I like to help people get their work seen by other people. From past experiences, several people who follow my activity here actually end up reading or recommending what I recommend.
You recced my story and it made me happy, so thanks. I actually don't recommend stories often at all, nor poems or blogs, they have to be very interesting to me or have caught my attention for me to recommend them. I'm usually like that because my recommendations is just like another way for me to keep a place of all of my favorite stories and works on Mibba.
I do that too, actually. And if I got interested with the summary, I'll even subscribe for future read. And when I finally got around to read those stories, I'll try to comment on them I love commenting on stories, especially if the authors are so nice. It's a great feeling being able to keep the authors motivated for their stories.
