Re: Pet Peeves

[(Anonymous)]

Guilty as charged.If I liked the fic, I go back and give a kudos. But if I don't comment, it's because:

- I usually have nothing to say other than I enjoyed this, please continue,
- i feel awkward wanting to comment on every chapter because some crazy shit went down, and I want to let you know I loved it. would that be annoying?
- I'm too lazy to log in
- I don't want my profile to be associated with the fic I was reading (this might be the case of it's super smutty, or I just don't want my name associated with what you've written. nothing against the author, it's probably some internalized irrational shame)

- i feel awkward wanting to comment on every chapter because some crazy shit went down, and I want to let you know I loved it. would that be annoying?

Speaking for myself, It definitely wouldn't be :). I'm the sort who tends to review every chapter of a fic I enjoy and the authors I've done that for seem pretty happy about that, and as a writer myself I love hearing people's thoughts as they work their way through the story.

- I usually have nothing to say other than I enjoyed this, please continue,

I'd personally be happy to receive these kinds of comments, too :). But I do think this point of yours brings up another valid reason why some people are hesitant to review: because some writers tend to make it sound like if anyone leaves a review that says something as simple as "Loved this, please continue!" then that comment is somehow not as worthwhile to the writer as a long, detailed review would be.

And I've never thought that was a fair attitude to have. Some people love to do the whole "long, detailed review" thing (I'm one of them), and I certainly get why people like those kinds of reviews-I do, too.

But not everyone reviews that way, for all sorts of reasons, and for as often as writers complain about how more people don't comment/review their stories, you'd think they'd be a little less picky over whether or not a review/comment is "detailed" enough for them. As long as they're taking the time to type out a comment/review and showing that they're enjoying the story, shouldn't that be the most important thing?

*Shrug* Anywho, side track there. But yeah, your post explains some very valid reasons for why people don't review. I do love getting reviews on my work, certainly, but hell, I'm just happy if people read the darn fic, let alone left kudos or a review or whatever :p.
