Thanks for this post.
Yes, the silent readers too need to participate.


Thanks Gita !! Missed you this week !
It's very puzzling, there'll be 1700 views and 30-40 likes and 11 comments. It doesn't take a lot really.
Actually the forum has so many views, they could just appreciate the efforts. Just to appreciate your favourite soap !
👍🏼
Hello quiet ones step up ! 😆

Thanks for this post, Anisa! How I love your name.❤️

Really, the silent readers to need to step up and participate! Doesn't mean they have to make positive posts and gush all the time. They can also criticise the show and it's actors; basically share their opinion whether it's positive or negative. That's what a forum is for right?

This comment may be controversial, but I think a lot of the fans from previous season of QH are enjoying the show and are silent readers but don't wanna reply to or like the posts (in other words they don't wanna admit :P). Just a speculation...LOL.

Agreed. I have said this before on behalf of writers and I will say it again though it does not sit well with silent readers...

1. The writers are writing and for free not because they owe you anything but because they want to share their love of the show with you, if you manage 10 minutes to read their whole piece, take a minute to like AND comment.

2. The writer does not owe you hours of her time to PM so that you can get a fresh call to know when their piece is updated. Especially if you are silent. They have already spent hours writing. If they still want to do it, their wish but don't demand that they PM you when you can't even bother to post a comment.

3. Writers are not supposed to be grateful that you deigned to read their piece, they would have written it regardless. I have heard before from silent readers that we writers should be grateful just with the views. No! We spend hours without wishing for anything, if you spent the time to read it and not like it, you should still comment for reading our creativity.

4. If you are busy and don't want to comment, that's fine. Don't read either, we won't know the difference because you are silent.

5. Writers are not fishing for compliments with comments. We just want feedback on our writing. That's why we write here. We don't want money or anything. We just love to write. It is true that we like to hear from you so your comments means a lot to us. If you say that I can just stop writing because my comments here offend you, I won't cause I like to write. If you like reading my or someone else's stuff we must be doing something right. So why can't you write something other than "nyc" or "continue" or "pm me"? Yes, you are busy, so are we. If you sought out a FF to read it, you had time. Even on your phone.

6. FYI I like and comment everything I read here, especially the FFs. That is before I feel I owe it to the writer for giving me free entertainment. It is a way of saying thanks. Some people think on Shakespeare quality writing merits their comments, but I will comment on not to good writing too because these are writers in progress. They need encouragement, that's all their ask for in return for their hours of work.

7. Most hilarious is people who are fans of soaps but are embarrassed to put their name out there. Make a name up! And you like it enough to read the FFs, own it. It is not THAT embarrassing. Others tell me they feel shy. Shy about what? We can't see you, don't know who you are.


SO WRITE COMMENTS.


Thank you Mary for this. Maybe people are new to the forum concept and didn't know of the etiquette.
Really these PM take a lot of time! I mostly keep track of my FFfaves through the "My posts" tab where the posts I have commented on appear.

But those who PM me I try to comment 90% of the time unless I really can't help it.
Feedback on your stories are precious... i try to thank everyone because the effort to comment seems Herculean 😆

See, if you like romances then have the courage to admit it. People find it embarrassing, but I loved Mills&Boons growing up. Reading them taught me how to describe feelings. I could finish one in 2 hours! So if you like soaps it's not a crime ...

Thanks Mary, i needed this input from a more senior member 👏

A well needed post. One feels like talking to themselves in an empty space when the post made gets no feedback, comments or not even tagged by any as 'like'.

All good posts have hundreds of views but just handful of comments ...its a forum and a dialogue is required to keep going, a monologue can't go much further.


Exactly! ! The views are healthy in amount but very small in response. I for the record stay away from revealing everything about me as this forum is my happy place, and I don't want the busybodies in my life to take it away from me. You know me as Anisa and I love QH, and that's enough! So you can stay anonymous here but please leave feedback. 👍🏼

Thanks. ..
I mostly read FFs and SSs/ OS when I fell like I need to have more SaHil/AsYa/ArShi moments. .. Some writers actually go the direction different from where the actual show goes, like a "what happens if" scenario. .. which is loads of fun. These stories fuel the actual series in my opinion. Keeps interest alive.

So if you enjoyed the story one should show it no?😃

Thanks !! 😛
You know there was a time when there was something called a "popcorn post" where some argument brewed and there was heated commenting back and forth leading to users being banned and stuff...onlookers sit back and pass the popcorn ... crazy times QH !!!😆...

I don't think if you are an AsYa fan you should feel like a traitor for liking SaHil. Aapki marzi !! If you like, you like! Simple. Our superstar from QH1 is going higher places so we should be happy for him too. I like AsYa a lot, and now I like SaHil ... life's too short to be petty over little things...😉
