Being a silent reader is not always a choice!! *DT Note: Page 42* - Page 15

Oh no! We are not on the same page here.

Ego is when a writer thinks whatever is being written in the name of a story will be read over here (IF) just because they assume they are 'popular''.

Ego is when a writer decides to stop writing here (here means IF) as there are no enough comments when compared to the earlier chapters. Reasons for lesser comments may be due to the story losing its plot or the writers' high- handed behavior.

Ego is when 2 people don't agree to disagree.

That way ego is both ways. When an author shows her egoistic side, a reader becomes silent. When a reader is egoistic, he/she is silent. So both ways well they are silent! It doesn't matter. Their wish :)

Recently, through the TM, I came to know that stories which gets more than 20 pages of comments are considered popular

This thread isn't for discussing the benchmarks for popularity. May be this can be discussed elsewhere.

Wasn't discussing, just point it out :)

And yeah, thanks for coming back to this thread!

Oh I had to come back!

well in my experience normally in initial days the writer sent buddy request to whoever liked or commented the post the reader has the complete freedom to stop reading after two or three chapters then the writer can stop pming them no silent reader will come and complaint for not getting a pm dats y dey r called silent readers if the story is good enough people will come and comment without any pm i am the best eg for dat now a days i will reach my favourite stories with out any pm and will press like button and if it is so touching i may comment in one or two lines bcs i dont know how to analyse i still remember once i commented in an ipk story firstly it was just a one line comment i was really excited for next update bcs i started to comment but wat i got a note from writer on above update that she hates one line commentors and they should go away do u really think people will read dat story after that well of u have self respect den will not even open that thread afterthat so the writer should have enough patience to wait for the readers if writers are giving a charity by writing freely den readers are doing the same by reading and commenting it

Can I hug u?

🤗

U have exactly penned down my thoughts...I agree with u exactly... Appreciation should be frm inside not a forced one...Beside appreciation I think writer should be prepared for criticization too... I like those writers in the face of criticisations too managed to hold up their story without moulding it as per demands...

-numbers are less of such writers😊

Other things I dislike are sudden discontinuation of a story...

*sigh*

or suddenly continuing story once written in IF in blogs that too restricted to few...who daily coaxed the writers...

My question is when u r not too sure about a story or may tend to discontinue due to hard schedules then why start at the first place...

-i understand sometimes asli duniya becomes hard and you have to leave IF but than a writer can put a small summary and end the story..writer bhi khush readers bhi...😳

again when u want to update in the private blog only that too restricted too few... then why post prologue and initial chapters in the IF that too can be read by all members...Is it to gather fans?????

-oh yes.. and if you want the links of blog all you need to do is beg them or flatter them or praise them..🤢 as if we people have no self respect..

Thirdly some of the attitude of writers as u had mentioned like hell I am updating in a busy schedule and will give update whenever I feel like may be 2/4/6/8 moths or I yr... But u readers go on commenting as u have nothing else to do...

-hahaha hum toh velle hai na..

I think the biggest compliment that a writer need that number of views he/she getting...not some forced appreciation and comments...

-trust me writers out there who are fab, they writes for themselves not for others comments are just bonus point

And here some of us though busy still try to read ffs here as we find them fascinating...sometimes have to get away with mere liking without commenting due to time constraint...

-i remember when i had classes i used to read in breaks or while travelling but then also i always left if not long two words comment for sure..

Writers have to understand that we readers too have our real life and have corresponding responsibilities jst like them...still we try to like or comment the updates sometimes if not regularly due to time constraints...

-true😊

I am one of those who does not reply to comments

I barely have time to write the story

-i guess this your readers know already and they still comment without any pms..

I write for pleasure

If people comment I am happy

If not I don't mind silent readers

I am not counting

For me it is enough to get the story out and entertain

But ys, I feel happy to receive a comment

I do drop a note if I cant update

Least I can do

But you know something

Not dropping a comment or hitting a like but reading the story

is like eating food enjoying it and not even thinking of the effort of the chef

-here i am not trying to clear the stand of a silent reader...i am talking about the readers who once used to comment on every updates they read but later turn into silent one just because the writers mistreated them.. for a person

so yes, silent reading is not great

here i will say again i am not talking about the silent readers😕

but it's a choice

sorry to say di, but it isn't..
