10 Things I hate about you... From author to readers

1. Update soon
Guys, a comment that only says ‘Update soon’ is like ‘Yo this is a comment.’. Of course I understand you said it because you meant it, but believe me I want to update too, but I have a life and a very very stressful one too. So I’ll try to update asap.

2. Read & Leave
I would love to read ‘Update soon’ instead of read nothing. Fact is authors love comments like readers love updates, so I hope you can understand us and leave a comment. A simple ‘I like the chapter’ or ‘The chapter was ok (or not)’ are also loved.

3. Invisibility
Authors can’t know someone is reading the story when everyone is an invisible reader (someone who neither subscriber nor comment. One of those actions is already enough). Please at least let me know you’re reading the story.  

4. Without a word
Unsubscribing hurts my feeling, but I know you have your own reason, since I can’t do everything right. Besides, everyone’s taste is different. But at least tell me what I can do better next time^^

 

5. Author notes. Author reads
I realized a lot of you never read authors notes. I’m not mad, only a bit sad TT^TT
I want to communicate with you guys too and be more than only an author, you know?

6. Rushing
I love to know that you’re excited for my updates, because that means you like the story. But sending me a ton of message and wall-posts that demands me to update really stresses me. It’s fine when you send me a message and ask when I will update, but message like ‘I want you to update blablabla-strory NOW’ ... aish…. I mean I have a life too.

7. Comment
When I get a comment after 3 minute I updated. I know you didn’t read the whole chapter, but only a dialog. I mean I spent hours (sometimes even days/weeks) to write a chapter, looking for the right word to use and it hurts to know you don’t even read it. Ouch TT^TT

8. It’s completed. Bye.
It’s not really something I hate about you. It’s just that I think unsubscribing after the story is completed is somehow rude. But that’s only my opinion and I don't want to blame anybody.

9. It’s completed. Hello.
A lot of people only read completed story. I understand why. It’s still very sad to not be able to see how the story progresses together though.

10. Hate you
The worst thing is that I can only tell you 10 things I hate about you, but I can tell 100 things I love about you.
I hate how I can’t hate you guys ^^
So thank you for being with me the whole time.
I love you.

ouch :( I'm sorry you're feeling that way author-nim. It must be stressful to write amazing storys an think you didn't do it well because, well you already wrote your thoughts and reasons of why you don't feel good. But if I can say something is that you are a great author and you also have a loooot of readers that love your ffcs as much as I do, buuuuut some of them are shy to write how was the chapter (I was like that :s), and some others express their happiness trough "UPDATE" or "UPDATE SOON!" and the real intention is that they can't wait :)))!. But then again you have a life and we have to understand. So pleaseeee plaseeee don't have bad feelings author-nim. T.T We love YOU and your awesome storys~! so FIGHTING!!! <3:D
