Disabling Commenting / Fanfiction Rants?

Well, I am bored these days. Other than writing, I don't have much to do. Let's have some discussion regarding feedbacks and reviews, and other fanfiction rants.

I used to don't understand why disabling commenting is a thing. My friend who was a popular writer posted stuff on ao3 and told me she dread reviews coming in. I didn't understand why either, isn't it great to get feedbacks for your writings? Now, I kind of do understand it. Well I understand why disabling commenting is a thing and why some author use it. My take on it is different though.

Yes, I write for fun and write for my own enjoyment, but I share my writings not just to share, but I hope to see if anyone enjoy it and tell me if they enjoy it. Or if they have something that they'd like to know about, and see readers have a discussion with each other. However, the genre I write for aren't really my fandom's cup of tea. Oh well. LOL. So I think I came to a conclusion that I should disabled commenting for some stories and will open it up after completion. Furthermore, most of my stories has the 'comment bonus' on it, and they're all 'subscribers only' story, yet when I received a comment, someone said they're looking forward to it, but haven't subscribe? LOL, you just want that double karma points.

I think this way, it kind of make me feel more at ease with writing. If anyone who is enjoying my writing could just pm me or leave a wall message.

Your thoughts? You can talk about other things. I just want to read people thoughts when I'm on break from writing.
