Comments

[(Anonymous)]

Well, if you don't know that they haven't read the thing, then it sounds like they did read and like it, which is rather cheering to hear.

[(Anonymous)]

I'd literally prefer no comment at all, or even a hateful comment from someone who actually did read the story and despised it, than this.

You are building your writing-ego on artifice. On nothing. How is that encouraging, or helpful for a writer?

[(Anonymous)]

But that's the thing: they didn't read it and they didn't like it. They didn't have any interest in it at all, but now you have a false impression of the reception your work has.

Would you give a good review to a restaurant you hadn't ever eaten in, or a hotel you'd never stayed in just to make the owners feel better?

Comments and reviews are feedback for the writer to gauge how a work was received -- an opinion they assume comes from someone who actually read the fic, whether they enjoyed it or not.

[solticisekf]

I think comments exist to motivate people. (in non professional fic writing) Not the sole purpose but the main one.

[(Anonymous)]

And you're basing that motivation on bullshit.

Clearly you don't have an issue with that.

[solticisekf]

with what?

upd. "Oh, it's all based on lies, how can I?" do you mean it's a better reaction?

[(Anonymous)]

With basing your motivation and ego on a fabrication that only happened because someone felt sorry for you.

[solticisekf]

Hmm, I like my motivation and I need all the m. I can get.
I see your point though, it's a valid opinion too.

upd. comments don't especialy motivate me, btw

[(Anonymous)]

NAYRT

Are you just being deliberately obtuse?

You say comments don't motivate you at all, and yet you say fake ones are totes encouraging for people.

You don't answer when people ask you HOW exactly this is all so encouraging for you, except now you've just contradicted yourself because by your logic then NO comment could motivate you so why are you claiming they're oh-so-helpful for others, when several writers have told you they feel otherwise?

Every time someone makes a point, your only contribution is "So?" or asking them to repeat what they've just told you.

You don't even HAVE an opinion, let alone a valid one.

[solticisekf]

why, hello to you too.

When I started writing they did motivate me and made me write faster. Now they put a pressure on me instead. Not to let my readers down and such. It's sad really. I still love getting feedback.

Oh yes, the whole thread is littered with my 'so', it's everywhere.
