    If you comment on my newest story All Out and Over, I'll comment on whatever you want comments on. It's hard getting comments on original stories here

    @ sindie.
    Thanks so much!

    I'd like to comment swap on Once a Poisoner if you don't mind it being a little long, just a one-shot still though. I will comment in about 10 minutes or so, I'm just hanging out on Mibba for the rest of the day!

    The way I get more readers/comments is by writing stuff that's popular among the site. I know that's kind of sh*tty advice, but people will read and comment on stuff that they like reading.

    That being said, not all of my stories have a lot of reads/comments. If I really like the story I'm writing, I don't give a rat's tooth if anybody is commenting or reading it. I write it for my own enjoyment ;)

    But I'll swap you for chapter one of Haunt.

    @ velveteen rabbit.
    Alright! Sounds good! I think I would like to do a comment swap with you. Blunt is fine with me :D

    I would like for my story Poisoner to be the one with comment swap if you don't mind!

    @ Michael Westen
    That'd be great! Thanks so much!

    There's just like 3 I recently posted, so any of those would work for me. Thanks again!

    I didn't even know the comment swap function was even a thing still!

    To be honest original fiction doesn't gain nearly as much attention as fan-fiction, sadly, but there are people on here that do read it. I suppose just use the recommendation button, maybe try the LaC-TaC.

    When I go home in a few days I'll check out some of your work, if you have a specific story you want me to give some attention to just let me know.

    The comment swap feature on the site is super glicthed out, so I wouldn't suggest using it. Making comment swap blogs can help, or if people are offering free reads/comments from giveaways, etc. those are always helpful. And talking to people on the site always helps as well, if you have a group of friends it's more likely that people will read/comment/recc your stories (even though I definitely know that's easier than done!)

    As for tagging, if you're writing fanfiction just making sure you tag the fandom, but other that that I don't have a method to my tagging madness tehe

    I'd be happy to do a comment swap with you! If you'd like, I tend to sometimes be a bit blunt with my feedback though, so if you don't mind that Cute
