Comments

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not on AO3, but if I were, I would be the sort who would respond to every comment :p. Obviously if all someone said was "Nice story" I'd reply with a simple "Thanks!" and not go into some big long reply the way I would if someone left a more detailed comment/review.

But still, I'd want to reply to all the comments anyway 'cause I'd just feel bad about looking like I was ignoring someone. Plus, I wouldn't want to make it seem like I only cared about the commenters who had more to their comments or reviews than "Nice story!".

That said, of course, you make a good point about how that can look bad for the writer, too, as though they're trying to inflate the amount of comments.

[tabaqui]

This. I always reply to every comment, no matter how short. I don't care about inflating comment counts, though - people can just scroll and see i've replied and halve the count, if it means that much to them.

[(Anonymous)]

That's how I'd go about viewing it, too. Plus, as someone else noted below, I generally don't pay attention to the number of comments when looking up stories. If I see a story has LOTS of them, like into the hundreds or even thousands, I might be curious as to what all they're saying, but that'd be all.

[tabaqui]

Yup. People really *don't* leave a lot of comments on AO3 as a rule, since the kudos button gives them the choice not to. So yeah, comments just doesn't mean much to me as a number to look at.

[(Anonymous)]

I've heard that's the case there, yeah. Which makes the complaints about inflating comment counts a little odd, since most writers probably aren't getting many of them to begin with-it's not like their replies would inflate the numbers by THAT much.

[tabaqui]

Exactly.
