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 because I feel I owe it to the writer for giving me free entertainment. It is a way of saying thanks. Some people think only Shakespeare quality writing merits their comments, but I will comment on not so 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. This is just my opinion since IPK.
