hey, seems like a serious discussion is going over here.

Okay, first of all I am not a writer. never wrote any Os/SS/FF and I admit earliar that I dont always comment on every writings I like. But I do feel that if I read any OS/SS/FF to the end I should atleast like it and try to comment on it. Because if any writer compell his/ her readers to complete the writing, he/ she deserves this. If u just open a writing and do not feel interest continue reading it, then its okay. U can leave without liking n commenting. nobody can compell u to like a writing if u dont find it interesting. But if u complete reading any writings u should atleast like it- thats what I feel.

And maybe im in the minority here who finds it okay to demand for likes/comments for updates. If u like a writing that much that u really want an update then why cant u just say it!? here writers are taking their time to entertain us, we r enjoying their works, but we r not ready to show appreciation, thats not fair. Im a regular reader of an FF and I do get threatening that mentioned here and I dont get offended. If I dont want to like or comment I wont get update- that seems totally fair with me. and I know PMing more than 300/400 people is really really tough, so if the writers decide to clean their pm/ buddy list to make things easier for them and do warn their readers before that, whats wrong with that?
here I admit that I did send buddy request to some writers for their works and now sometimes I dont get time to read their works. I feel guilty that now they r sending me PMs and I ignore them as I am not in a mood to read the writings. now if they delete me from their buddy/pm list, then its perfectly fine wid me cause I feel I deserve this.

okay, I have said a lot still feeling could not express myself properly. finally hats off to the wonderful writers of the forum. u rock.

HEY MARY,
Im rlly glad u created a post like this!! I am also very disappointed how I and other writers spend soo much time on writing a beautifl piece but then it doesnt get any recognition!
I admit first i used to be a silent reader but when it hit me, I changed and realized how all of us spend so much time to write an OS,SS,FF but then dont get any replies or appreciations
thats y when someone comments on my OS i personally thank them by replying them and pming them :)
im glad u made a post like this
so now i comment on every single post but sometimes i might miss a few
THANKS ALOT FOR MAKING THIS POST! :)

@Bold - I agree completely. Thats what I do too. If I do read an ff till the end of the post, the writer deserves a like and/or a comment. :)

You may not believe me but actually thought of you today Ann. I was wondering, what happened to senior writers here? Like HeadOverHeels who would have all the witty posts and FF pieces. When I came in new I would look at your posts and hope that mine would get as popular and then I started seeing you are not here as often and today I was missing you 😊

It probably has to do with life and how badly IPKKND has been doing, isn't it?

A compliment from you means a lot, thank you. You are one of the best writers here. Also definitely one with the most unique takes on the show. I miss those. There's so much to make fun of these days, you should do it if you have time. Some cynicism would be fun.

Exactly Mary...i've been missing her and her unique takes on the show...😊

oh btw sorry for a post thats not related to the topic a couple of hours ago i pmd minuu regarding the new writers who write every new update on a new thread... one person had started it and many followed the suit .. may be that is to avoid the fan fic rule but its making the forum messy.. I mean agreed the fan fic rule makes us lose our readers and not attract potential readers but where the rest of the writers r following it, I think we shud step in and correct a newbie if they spam the forum

I am not sure I get it but are you talking about separate parts? That's not really spamming if the writer puts all the previous parts in links. I have seen it done for months. I personally like the freedom of it because finding parts in different pages get confusing. Much better if I find every part on the first page and links to the previous parts are given. It organizes things from a writer's and a reader's perspective. That is how I see it anyway. If the mods even get in on that, I am going to stop writing on IF because I am not going to do the one thread thing.

Everyone...i suggested this on Neem's post regarding the OS/FF/SS...
Why don't we make ONE POST for all the writers to post their index of writings...so that it's easier for us to find and follow them..what say?
Would you support that? It will be easier for us readers to find ur writings..😃

frankly speaking, i dont read any FFs...i just cannot keep up with them, im not a reader at all, i cant even read a bedtime story to my little cousin...but not taking away anything from the writers, u all are doing a fantastic job with ur pieces...i do sometimes accidently open a FF and scroll down the post and go "wow"...i might not express my appreciation for u all on ur threads, because i dont read em, but i do appreciate the time, effort, and creativity u all put into ur pieces for the readers...i wont even say im a silent reader, im just NOT a reader...i dont mean to offend, its not cuz of the writers, its just me..i lack that patience, that ability to keep up...my sincere apologies..but i swear if i did, i would definitely like as well as comment :D...maybe after exams when i get a break from my textbooks i can start reading some FFs here :)...any suggestions?

this is for all the writers 👏👏👏 and a big thank youuu for keeping all the true readers entertained ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Don't be sorry. No writer has problems with the non readers. It is really option 1, 2 and 3 that bothers most of us.
