Hi I am a hopeless addict of the Fan Fictions here . Yesterday I sent a PM to one of my fav writer in this forum asking why was she not updating ! She replied that as readers did not gave due appreciation to her work she felt coming here and giving updates as a waste of time .
This made me think that are we readers so selfish that after reading a beautiful story and spending tension free (for me at least ) time in this forum we cannot give the writer due credit !
These writers have kept Maan and Geet alive in our minds even though the serial has long ago finished and in fact taken us beyond the story shown on the TV!
So after reading an update of approx 3000 + words all we can write is awesome or nice !!!
Is it too much to write a line or two just letting the writer know that you are following the story and understanding it ! Surely if we have the time to read a story we do have time to write a comment .
Many of us do comment and give detail reviews that are as much as fun to read as the actual updates! so kudos to them .
Here in this forum the writers are not given monetary payment .There only payments is the appreciation that we readers can give They take time from there busy schedules and write so that they can entertain us .So please let us really make them feel special and start appreciating there effort !!

I agree with you point black...though I myself sometimes cannot comment due to lack of time but I still try to post comment as much as possible. I agree that the least we could do is appreciate the works of our writers

Can very well understand the sticky situation
what the silent readers fear remains the eight wonder

I don't think the writers will bite them if they comment on their thread
😆
What's going on in their head remains a mystery and this very thing demotivates the writer
The notion the writers carry back in their head is either they are not a good writer or the story is not well appreciated by the readers
The day all the silent readers take the sincere initiative to comment , no writer will think to keep their story on hold 😃

Bang on !!
This is just a forum where we read good stuff and share our views so the point of not commenting just does'nt click .

I have this story called The Locket.
For months now I have been updating once every six days or so with mostly silent readers.

The day I put in a note saying that my story will be moving to a password protected blog for which access will only be provided to people who have commented and supported me, I saw a surge in comments. lol.



On the one hand as a reader I don't want to leave Geet Forum but on the other hand as a writer I feel like I don't want my hard work to be presented to someone who cannot do a simple courtesy to acknowledge it.


Thanks for the positive message you are spreading. I hope people get it.😃

I wish all readers were like you Priya😃

The only thing that makes me write after 12 hours at work is that someone is waiting for me..
