Wow, if ASR can marry Khushi forcefully than how come a true fan of ASR stay behind...forcing readers to comment so they can get blog link in pm...do you think this will get you more readers? And why only this ff? Why not others ff of yours not on blog...I mean only for your true readers? Are you a true writer?

Hi.

Please read the other updates and my note on two of them and then tell me whatever you want to. A writer puts in effort, a lot of it, to get something out and it takes courage to put it in front of people.

I have no issue with constructive criticism but my work cannot be taken for a ride with say 100 views and 30 likes.

I actually discontinued the story but my readers wanted it back and they got it. But on a blog because as I said its because I owe it to them and not to the silent readers. A reader can press the like button because I dont think that is too hard, specially comparing to writing out comments like yours. That takes more effort, I guess.

And I am a true ASR fan. Glad we have that cleared and the analogy was hilarious btw. And if I wanted more readers, I would have got it by 'threatening' much before. Get the logic right first. :)

And waise, why the sudden interest in the story? Just because you cant access something for absolutely no effort of yours put in any more? Just curious.

Cheers.

Please note that I am NOT commenting to get a link. I do like this FF and would like to read but I would like to read it in this IF so if you can post the chapters in IF then I will read it otherwise forget it.

I do not know about Geet13 but I do not come to IF regularly due to net problem. whenever I get a chance I read as many FF as I can. and In hurry of reading next chapter sometime I forgot to click like button but that does not mean that I did not like the story.

Also if you can count viewing that is also one type of appreciation of your writing that that many visits your ff. sometimes some readers who are not member they also read but cannot press the like button. so whatever you are doing to them is wrong.

Also one of the reader made very good comment, when you buy a book you do not go and tell writer that you like the book. I agree with that. Also that writer is not forcing you to buy book. he or she just writing it. whether to buy or not is in readers hand. but you are forcing readers to comment and it is not right.

Please note that I am NOT commenting to get a link.

Hey!

It isn't my place yet I feel the need to reply. Call me an idiot. But I write and I can totally empathize with someone who puts in eons of effort and then gets told that somebody is not comfortable saying a couple of lines about what they thought.

Originally posted by: shermy
You are withholding your story from silent readers and those who don't comment, that's perfectly fine and your choice but do once think, not everyone is an extrovert, not everyone is comfortable enough to comment and how is a comment of 'hey, great update' different from a like? isn't it pointless? So why should such people get the link and the silent readers/likers don't? Especially when they are requesting you for it? Doesn't that tell you they like it and they read it? After all, the comments are not earning you any money. - Comments are what makes an author work harder for the future. It is encouragement they dont have the outlet of finding elsewhere. It is what gives them the courage to explore their talent. And extrovert - This is an online medium. No one is judging anybody because no one can judge aliases! A line saying what you liked about the story - is that really that difficult to give the author?

you would have read a lot of books in your life. Did you call up every author and thank her or comment on her book? You might say that the author is paid for it but it was your decision to write the story here, knowing that all and sundry will read, so shouldn't you have posted the story on your blog right from the start or from the 2nd chapter based on who commented on the first? Why now when people wait for your update only to be told about a blog they can't access? - That's the beauty of this medium. People who dont have access to being authors use this as their stepping stone. When I like an author, i can tell him /her that by buying his /her next book. In this medium, commenting is the only way, isn't it? Yes she should have posted on the blog by Ch-2. But sometimes ideas do take time to hit an author's head.

It's not fair to the people who are now not getting a PM to have got hooked onto the story and then being told this. Don't say we don't take precious time out to comment because we take precious time out to read your story, we like it and we are even requesting you for the link. That should tell you how much one likes your writing. - So much time to do so much but no time to say I like your story because of XYZ reason? It saddens the author.

also, it would be courteous if you stopped posting your updates here and just continue with PMs cos people open the thread hoping maybe you posted the next chapter here and instead get to read confusing spoiler comments.

No author wants to keep the story away from people who are enjoying it. Think about how difficult it is for the author to see lesser people liking the story and telling them their effort is being appreciated. The author is free to do what she likes with this thread as long as it doesn;t violate IF rules. We would be really wrong to tell her what to do.

If she hasn't sent you the PMs, she may just have been busy. She doesn;t know you. She doesn't care enough to be particularly mean to you.

Cut her some slack. AT least as respect to the story she wrote that you seem to like so much!

PS: I don;t know you. I don't know the author. I am just a third person who felt like she had something to say. I don;t mean to hurt or offend you. Please take my words the way they are intended - unbiased and plain speaking!

Oh Rae, that embrace was powerful!

There is nothing beautiful than reading about innocent love without any sexual attraction in between. I mean it's good to have the sexual attraction, just spices things up but innocent love is simply marvelous :D

Love Ayaan and Sama's relationship, reminds me of Arhi. "Maria Daydreams"

It was a great chapter with just the two of them however I did miss our crazy Raizada's, feel a chapter without them is incomplete that's how much I love them ;)

Looking forward to the next parts
