... I love you guys - my readers - a lot but sometimes some of you (not all!) are incredible, and I mean that in a bad way. Sure, I can be quite annoying as well, I know that but that is not the point here now XD

There are many silent readers out there and only a few who comment under stories, and I appreciate the latter the most, but some of the "silent" readers seriously take the cake.

You guys never comment but then around when I or other authors don't update regularly? Who do you think you guys are?

During my vacation a few weeks ago I wrote a blogpost why I would put my stories on friends only and put the link on my profile status so that everyone could see it. The most did but there were some especially brilliant people who spammed my wall with comments like "Why are your stories on friends only :((((("
I didn't answer those because I simply didn't want to.

But then there was one special snow flake who wrote "Why are your stories on friends only? I even upvoted and subscribed."

Applause for you, honey. First of all, my stories are on subscribers only so if you want to read my stories, you have to subscribe. Secondly, I don't even care if someone upvotes my stories or not.

Another one wrote: "Closing your story or making it to friends won't even let me access the story. Besides I would never do that."

I give a rats about what you would do or not. That specific user there never commented before and never spoke a word with me before and then she writes something like this. My initial thought was "what the ?!", my second thought was "what the , who are you? You are no one special to me, so why should I let you access my stories when others besides my AFF friends can't?"

I wrote her and then she wrote this back:

"Of course, you don't understand because you're not me, but saying that the I didn't read your blogpost and stating that I obviously didn't read. That is based on all assumptions. I'm writing on your wall because i'm voicing out my opinions if you like to know because the wall post is for other readers/authors to message you. I know that other people don't have any access to your story. "

I didn't know if I should face palm or face wall. If she would have read my blogpost, she would have known my reasons to put my stories on friends only during my absence, so the first part of her reply was utter nonsene. And the last part made no sense at all to me because she voiced out her opinion to what? That I put my stories on friends only with reasons which I explained before I put my stories on friends only several times in my stories and then in the blogpost?

In the last few days I received more comments and pms about why I don't update this or this story from readers who never comment or even talk to me. "I still wait for this story to be updated!", "Please update this story!!"

I find it amazing that these people who never leave a comment either on your story or on your wall only write you when they want a certain story to be updated.

To those people: I update my stories when I want and not when you demand me to do it, just like you guys actually never say something regarding the story when I or other authors ask you to leave comments, which actually can help us.

I haven't ranted in quite a while but I wanted to get this off my chest because it is annoying to receive constant messages with those words only.
