Things You Wish Your Readers Would Say

What they liked/didn't like and why.
I just wished they left an explanation.
Really.

That, and that I wish that some subscribers would comment, I have two subscribers on this one story and only one's commenting. I'd like a bit more feedback from the other subscriber as well.

Anything.

If a reader was just straight-up with me and made it blatant that they actually read what I wrote...that'd make my day. For sure.

Yeah... same here. I'm utterly grateful for my commenters, though.

I've only just started posting on here, so I've just got a handful of comments so far. I tend to eat them up, no matter what they say! But I always think it's lovely when people are very specific with their critiques, and give examples of what they liked and didn't like. I also am a fan of people ripping my stories to little tiny pieces, because I love to hear second opinions in order to keep my ego in check >.<

I wish they'd say anything other than, "omg! great upd8, lulz!!!!111!!1!oneone!!11"

As grateful that I am that you are interested and that you want me to continue, could you please tell me something more...helpful?

I'd love some little grammar pointers - I know my grammar skills are lacking in places and I'd like to be told where I've made mistakes.

What they think of the characters, which is their favourite and why. That kind of thing.

I like getting any comments in general, but I love getting some constructive criticism or advice as well, and I love to hear people's opinions on the characters and whether they like a certain character or not. :)

I'd love for them to tell what they think is going to happen, especially in On Cue. Also if they answered my question correctly. I've taken to asking a question in the author's note for my readers to answer in the comments about the story. It's been working yet it's not exactly working out super well with the answers.

I like when my readers point out the mistakes that I failed to see. But I do wish that readers could relate (even a little bit) to a drabble/story/one-shot that I've written and tell me that "I felt the same way when this happened" or "I've never heard of anyone who has felt that way (about said situation) but I can relate to that character." Even as I write this it sounds like too much to ask from every reader, but I'd just like to know that one person can see a comparison.

I love it when they are able to feel the emotions I'm describing. It makes me feel accomplished.

I'd love to read a review where they got into it. If they have a favorite character, if a certain character seems a certain way, if they have a pairing, etc etc.

That'd make me so happy.

When people catch little references to random things in my writing, or that it made them feel something, or that they are as attached to my characters as I am.

Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for all the comments I receive, but I just wish they would tell me what they liked or didn't like about the story or give me some ways to improve.

"This is what you could improve on..."
I want a reader to care enough to give advice. People ask me to read their stuff, and I tell them honestly what could be worked on, because that's what I would want.
I appreciate the love, but a bit of tough love wouldn't hurt!

Telling what I should improve on. Word choice, less/more descriptions, anything, I suppose. If something is wrong with my grammar or wording could be better. Something that could help me improve.

"I see what you did there."

No, really. I wish that they would pick out the little things that I threw in there and be all "I see, I see".

Vonn did it yesterday.
