As a reader: I only get back to reading the reply to the comments I left if I've suggested something and I want to see how the writer took it. Otherwise... only when I have plenty of time.
As a writer: At first, I hadn't realized I need to respond to comments. Now that I did, I do visit to respond. Usually, there's nothing more I can do than thank the readers for saying they liked the story. Plus I tend to think that if I somehow don't agree with their suggestions and post to say so, the reader will think "Geez! I just thought I'd give you an idea!". :rolleyes: I guess that's just me and my insecurities. Truth is, though, I don't get very thorough comments all that often. There's only one time where a story of mine initiated a very interesting debate (which ended up with me rewriting the story
) and I have to say, I enjoyed it a lot.
Hope I made sense (have been studying Advanced Chemistry for an hour or so),
