I'm always blown away that you guys find the time in your busy lives to write, that you're brave enough to put it out there. You've made me laugh and cry, your stories are enormously entertaining - much more than the actual show *rolls eyes*

Thank you Trogdor19. That means a lot. You are a great author, and a very cool peron.

Couldn’t agree more with the below too. I hardly ever used to review things and I feel awful for it since I started posting things myself because I’ve learnt how much it matters, even the simplest ‘good job’ means a lot!

@CharlotteAshmore you said it all right there. None of us are asking for gushing reviews, just an acknowledgement that people enjoy what we write. Little or no reviews make an author question whether they're wasting their time.

Thanks @CharlotteAshmore and @ramblinrose for the feedback. I will try to make more of an effort to review more frequently in future. :)

Authors just want to know their stories are being read, they want to know what precisely you liked, if worded nicely, some even want to know what you didn't like. It only takes a moment to say 'good chapter' or 'nice work' and that could be the difference between that writer continuing or giving up

I try to review everything I read. Usually the only time I don't review is when I have to click out of a story bc I just can't read it. Even if I don't particularly like a chapter or the story in general, I will review. There has to be SOMEthing in the chapter or story which I can comment on.

I should also add that I have nothing but respect for all you authors - putting yourselves out there (as an artist, I understand). I'm not trying to upset anyone: just wondering what authors want from their readers. (I follow the 'don't like it, don't read it' rule already also).

Question for you authors (I'm an avid reader, but don't write)...I always try to review a story I enjoy at least once throughout. I don't review stories that I don't love. Is that bad? Should I say I didn't love it or not? Or are only "I loved it" reviews welcome? what do authors want? :)

I was going to say it hadn't been that long since A Better Man was updated, but then I looked it up... More than two years. :/

@foreverlovingdaryldixon Thanks for recommending A Better Man by 27dayz on FF - it was a really amazing story...but I'm so sad it's unfinished! Noooo! I need closure!

Chem, I honestly guess that depends on the writer. I'd say one or two and gauge their response. LOL Personally I can say that messages like that have been what I needed to finish some fics (or at least to continue them) that I was sort of sitting on, but I guess that everyone is different, too.

ramblinrose, in your ah horizons opinion, how many messages of encouragement would be considered a "friendly push," as opposed to sending the scary-stalker-restraining-order-type message. Asking for a friend; look away and ignore the list of stories I'm hiding in my other hand, LOL.

@Edaj180 if you're really interested in seeing the fic finished, maybe you could message the author and ask them about it. Sometimes authors just need a little push and need to know that someone cares if the story is finished.

I've deleted my story "Wounded Man" as problematic. Apologies to Pol for upsetting her. I take reader response very seriously, thank you for bringing my attention to the issue.

Pearlseed, the chat room is always open anytime it isn't being used for the writer's chat--just let people know you're headed in there and you'll probably get some others who want to join you!

😔 Guilty of not reviewing as often as I should. I’m still working my way through all the challenge fics and trying to review them all. They’re fantastic so far—this was a fun challenge!

I always try to review because I too know how it feels to not get a lot of response to your work. It does get a little disheartening. But there are so many great authors on here, and so many brilliant stories so it's easy to read and go on to the next one. Thanks to all who review my fic btw
