LOL!
But yeah, coming to the comments issue. Lol, I've dealt with this issue so many times now, its become very predictable of me! But I can't help it. And I agree with Sanaa on every word.
I don't know if you guys are actually unaware of our efforts, or you guys are just genuinely ignorant and rude, but whatever it is, it is about time you guys come around. What is it about a few readers that they just refuse to comment? In spite of all the requests for comments, the threats, seriously, what, you guys turn a deaf ear to EVERYTHING? Then seriously, quit reading our work! I mean I don't know how great we are in writing and stuff, but we do put in a lot of effort, and you can't spare 2 minutes for writing 3 lines? Then frankly, you don't deserve to read our stuff, be it good work or not, either way, you guys just don't deserve it!
I repeat, some people who don't comment on just some selective work, are writers themselves! I see their comments everywhere, but on our work, its 'Likes'. So it can't be that they're 'busy' or they're swamped in work. Frankly, I used to love reading these 'writers' FFs, but now, I don't even bother checking those threads! Why should I? A 'writer' themselves is not acknowledging another writer's efforts? Classic.
And yeah one more thing, just so you silent readers know, we writers have a life too! We have work, academia, exams, personal lives, all sorts of things too! But we still slog it off just so you guys can enjoy some nice read! So please do NOT give us, me at least, the crap about being busy. Busy 365 days a year, 24 hours a day? What are you guys, Presidents of the world? And seriously, you guys don't seem very busy to read our updates. And trust me, being a regular commenter, commenting takes less time than reading the long updates we put up!
Coming to Sanaa's case, guys don't you think, such a great FF, with 3 whole Seasons, 24-25 updates in each, and this FF is still stuck on Thread-2? C'mon guys, see it for yourself, how unfair you're being! But of course, you guys must be super busy! Its not like we have a life beyond IF, so we wouldn't know!
And Sanaa, trust me, I've been there, done that, but nothing seems to work with those special cases! The silent readers, after our threats, do come around to commenting, but disappear soon after, all over again!
But also, even if people do write 'Awesome update!' and stuff, hey at least they cared enough to write something right? So don't be too upset about that! Not everyone is used to putting their thoughts into words, so they just write down a few words, just as an encouragement! They wouldn't have cared to do so if they wouldn't have read and liked your work right? So that's fine!
And oh, of course, I apologize, even if I know I'm not wrong, for offending anyone! But when you guys refuse to comment on just our work while they keep flourishing on every other FF, then we think you have something personal against us (I can't think of what, but hey, you would know the answer to that question! 😕), so we're allowed to get personal too! After all its our donkey-burden isn't it? Or you guys just think we are not worthy of your precious words of encouragement and time? Oh, then let me tell you, you aren't worth our efforts and updates either!
SO I support Sanaa in this. If she doesn't get comments, then well, I give her full permission to stop her FF! Obviously, Sanaa, you'll have to PM me the parts then, because I still won't stop pestering you! Haha! 😃 😳
*Phew* this was one heck of a note, eh? But I mean every word of it, and I'm not even sorry! I don't care if people think we're wrong, I don't care if people think we're over-reacting and being rude! But hey, what would you know?
Cheers!
Ye Hai Mohabbatein
