Is it worth it?

Are you worth it?

Do you feel like you deserve to have a good time, while reading some amazing stories on this website? 

If yes,
then do you leave a kind comment at the end of a chapter, or the end of the story?

If no,
why? 

Is it because you do not have the time?

If yes,
do you really think a chapter takes 3 minutes to write?

If no,
why can't you spare the author at least 5 minutes out of the hours they spent on writing for you?

 

If you said yes to the second question. If you are one of those that actually comment. I sincerely thank you. <3

 

But I wouldn't say you should feel proud. It's like showing kindness to someone. It's not something to be proud of. Isn't it just expected?

I comment on the stories I read. I make them longer because I feel like I am indebted to do so, since I sometimes are one of the only ones.

That really needs to get better.

 

I mostly speak to the NCT fandom. The EXO fandom always showed support. 

 

But as a part of the NCT fandom. I want us to be better. Because I we do not get stories anymore, and I know why.

 

Are we worth it?

Is it worth it?

Many authors have decided that no it isn't. 

 

So if you're waiting for a story of mine to updated and you haven't commented. I hope you're not feeling neglected, because I don't know you're missing the story.

And to the few that have commented and are waiting. I am sorry, but I have things that I would rather spend time on at the moment. When I feel like I am confident enough to write just for myself. I will update again.

 

 

Love,
Emma <3

You probably don't know who I am but as a fellow author who always comments.... GIRL I FEEL YOU also Ao3 has better readers FYI I was hesitant to make the move but I've gotten some of the best comments of my life on Ao3. You'll feel 100x more appreciated there.

To by honest I never ever had commented on any story, which now I see how selfish I may me. But in a small defence I must write that I'm soooo insecure about my english T.T. I just read 3 of your stories and I'm so impressed by your talent and everything. It really feels like I am reading a proper book. I promise that I will comment on anything that I just read, especially your art! To by honest I just feel that I will bother the author with my comments but after your "rant" I realised how much I was wrong. OK. I will stop 😂 love you!

I understand what you mean, i used to not comment at all but as an ex-author myself i realised i did the same thing i hated so i started reading fanfics again recently and i do comment, i don't comment on every chapter because, i dunno really but if i like the story overall then i make sure the author knows it. If i don't like it then i don't want to say anything

<3333 I feel so sad that you're feeling so sad about this, but I completely understand you D: I guess you don't need my vote because you know I always comment on the things I read, but I'll still vote. I really wished more people did, though! It's like so few people acknowledge the time and effort put into writing a story... also, I got some comments on stories I hadn't written on in ages, because I simply had no commenters, suddenly asking me why I didn't update anymore, or if I could please update o-o maybe those people should comment when they read a chapter, tell me they like what they read so I KNOW and don't feel like I'm updating for a brick wall...
I'm sorry for the rant and I feel really, really bad that you feel the same about this and I know it's worse in the NCT fic community... but you've got my support always, you know that right? <3 I love you <3
