This is the first time I post on the blog here (at least I think so? I don't remember ever doing it before.. but maybe I did? I don't know). 

I kinda feel like I'll just say some of the things I've thought about regarding my writing. 

For one, I've kinda thought about not posting my stories online anymore. I'll keep on writing, but I might stop posting them here and on ao3. What I'm going to say makes it sound like I only write for comments and not for enjoyment, but it's really really un-motivating to write and then only have silent-readers. This is the reason why I might stop posting. I can still enjoy writing my fics without posting them for people to read. I don't know, it just makes me sad that it's come to me thinking like that. When I don't get comments I don't know if people like what I write, or if they just subscribe and then leave again, cause I dissappointed them. 
I might stop posting on here and then just share my fics with my friends, whom I know enjoy and want to read what I write. 

Another thing that's been bothering me - also regarding no response and feedback what so ever - is when people ask other's if they've read *insert name or link to a fanfic* and they reply with yes, they loved it! It made them feel so and so.. This is not wrong, but what bothers me is, that because they didn't comment on the fics, the writer will never know. The writer will never know that you liked their fic, because you didn't tell them. Instead you told someone who didn't write the story, but only wanted to reccommend it to you. 
It just makes me really sad, because even though the people recommending you things want to know what you thought about it, the writer wants to know what you thought way more. You have no idea how much a comment - even if it's really short - means to a writer. 

I know I'm not the only one who feels like this, because I've talked to other writers who thinks the exact same. 

All I'm saying is, please write a small, short comment on the fics you read. It doesn't have to be 10 lines of advice and review. Even a short comment can make someone's day. 

Please just keep this in mind.
