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.
Glad we are clear on that. :) Because as of now, this FF remains on the blog with limited access.
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.
And how am I supposed to know that if you dont make ANY efforts to show that you are reading/enjoying my or anyone else' story or if not enjoying but reading then why so?
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.
1. Non-members cant read my work because I use the NOMEMBERS tag.
2. A high number of views with a low amount of feedback confuses me and puts me in doubt of my work - is it not good enough because there are so many people reading but not enough giving feedback?
And I dont happen to like that. If I am putting in effort of thinking something, writing and then posting it, I expect a certain basic decorum wherein people who read it would tell me that they are and how they are finding it and not just on chapters they are threatened with discontinuation on because that just shows that they give two hoots about the writer and the effort but are just selfishly devouring the work.
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.
I have already answered that analogy to that comment but I say it here again - it is a flawed analogy because that writer is a paid author with a machinery working towards providing him/her the desired feedback whereas I am not and depend solely on the comments here to improve my work and get the motivation to go on.
And the second part...hmmm...I could put it in this way, you know - I aint forcing you to read the story at all. I have shifted it to a blog for various reasons where it isnt being forced down your throat so you should be happy.
Please note that I am NOT commenting to get a link.
Duly noted. :)
Cheers.
Out of curiosity - what propelled the long comment when for 10 updates, there were not even 2 words of feedback? :)
