AFF nowadays

I have read  SeohyunorSica's blog. Here: http://www.asianfanfics.com/blog/view/613048

 

I want to quote this: "Comments motivate authors. Pushing them to be their best knowing that people do indeed like the story and still read it.  But then when no one comments or there are very few comments, the author feels discouraged and keeps on feeling discouraged until they have had enough. Then what happens? They decide to stop writing the story and just leave it there. Or even worse, delete it.

 

And she's right, I do notice that people nowadays don't care to leave a comment anymore, making authors feel unloved or unwanted. Making them feel like their stoies aren't that much of interest.  Making them update slower than the usual. It is heart breaking. Seriously.

 

I mean, I'm busy finding job (YES I STILL DONT HAVE A JOB HEOL) so I don't have much time to write and giving tons of hours to write is hard. Also, I do use a lot of effort, each chapter consists of 10-15 pages in Word document, took me a day or two to write, a whole day to proofread so that you won't be laughing at my grammar and sometimes got no response, it frustrates me. (Yeah, I'm insane for being that childish to be frustrated that easy. HAHAHAHA.)

 

Even though authors don't usually reply to all those comments, you have no idea how much each comment means to an author (Even a simple, 'what the fck did I just read?' HAHAHA). Making them inspired to write more.

 

It's not that I'm ranting, I'm just stating observation. But don't worry, I won't delete any. ^^

 

P.S. I updated Drop Dead Goddess earlier this morning, soon will be TOAK then TSFP. I'm halfway done in TOAK. TSFP is still on my mind, though I have already an idea what the next chap will be. And for Hello Stranger, I want to give my apologies, for being jerk. I know, I'm bad for not updating or what, but please do understand. I'll still try to finish it. Promise. Also, the Wild Ones, I'm editing it. Hoping I'll turn it to something more interesting. I'll change the whole plot. (See? I have so many stories to update, so don't get mad if I'm too slow writing things.) 

Don't get me wrong, I still love you guys! VIPs, BJs, Cassies and all the YG stans out there, fighting! /group hug/

P.P.S. (HAHAHA) I prefer cassiopeia rather than angel (for JYJ fans), I mean, dbsk will always be dbsk for me. All of them five. Come to think if Bigbang split up (which I hope not or else I'll die), BB will always be BB, VIP will always be VIP. They will always be five for me, I can't picture only three or four Bigbang members. I can see them five. All of them. I can't see Bigbang being halved.  no!!! Okay, I'll stop talking trash here.

Well you're one of my favorite. I do subscribed most of your stories. I love the way you write. I love your plot. It's interesting but I rarely drop a comment not only to you but most of stories that i've subscribed. So keep it up! good luck in finding job. I know it's hard i feel you been there. Don't lose hope. Fighting!

Yeah, I always believe that leaving comments is one sure way to keep the fire burning in an authors heart... though i know at times i also neglect to do so because of limited time to be on aff, but then i don't want to justify my actions kekeke, PEACE!... what i want to say is that i really appreciate our dear authors because it takes so much for even a line to appear in ones mind.. more so to have an entire chapter for us to read... it takes a lot more emotionally and psychologically, and more so from their schedules, time that they should have given for their family or for them selves... so a comment positive or otherwise is one way to let them know that what they do for us is worth everything they give/missed... i may expect some response but not getting one doesn't end my day... me knowing they read it and in some ways helped them in creating a next chapter is a far bigger response...hehehe... imagine an update!!!...

Kamsahamnida to all our dear Authors! May you never tire of sharing your thoughts and your feels to us lowly readers... ^__________^

Now for BB and DBSK... I feel the same... it will never be BB or DBSK w/o the five... and for BB, I just don't want to imagine one w/o the others.... them as solo artists yes, but BB as BB missing one, i think i'd die... it already hurts thinking that someone will go missing when he enters the army... TT__TT

i see you!!!!! le comment you say? i give , i give ↖(^ω^)↗
but kidding aside , yes its true that more and more readers tends to forget to comment even to say thanks, but heres the thing some readers they get these feelings of insecurities also , some thinks their comment isnt needed (even when theres this note at the end of an update asking for one)some feels OP thinking you/authors dont care even if they give comment,that your just asking your close friend/readers. and they dont want to be called FEELINGERIA keke. anyways
personally i just feel bad that there are indeed some authors who ask for comments but dont bother to reach back to their readers o(╥﹏╥)o.

but cheer up your a great author IDOL
readers are just shy ,once they know you
they'll know your not isnabera 。◕‿◕。

this may sound really harsh..but i don't disklike the silent readers....but the ones that i really hate are the readers who bother to comment and just say...'please update'...like wtf...they just gave you an update how can you ask for another one when you didn't even say anything about the one you just read..i mean you can say..'i want jiyong to like that..then it's okay to say pls update'...but please please...to people who have read the my comment...doont say just..'please update period.'
or imma come to your house and bazooka you! LOL
