I voted for the last "all of the above" option also.
I'm not sure if my opinion really counts, since I'm not even done with my first story, but I've found that posting it in parts really helps me to keep writing. As for suggestions, they are always helpful, in my opinion, but I haven't really strayed from my original idea. I have the rest of the plot for After Midnight outlined, so that part won't change. But if a reader makes a comment about some dialogue or suggests something really brilliant, I may use it.
Also, I've got a decent sized buffer as of now, so anything a reader says won't effect the next part to be posted. With that in mind, many of the things suggested in the comments folder will/may appear in the next part, but only because I originially wrote it there.
Comments are *always* good and always impact me as a writer, whether or not suggestions are made. LOL Am I making any sense? Okay, I'm going to shut up now.
