Thechosenone Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 So it was brought up in another thread but i think it bares mention here and hopefully is worthy of your support. Its hard to get comments from those that read the stories posted here. Often times we'll see sixty or seventy plus views on things that have no responses. As a writer nothing pleases me more than feedback. Any one of you who've started a thread in any part of the forum do so with the intention, not to have views, but to have a discussion. I pledge that no matter what i read in the Writing Room that I will leave a comment and I'll try and make it a meaningful one if possible. How you comment is up to you but even if you just said that you liked it we writers would appreciate even that. From this day forward I'll be commenting on everything i read here. Join me, please. We all work hard, let's show our gratitude for each others entertainment and creativity with a few seconds of interaction shall we. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 (thumbs up) I'm for this! Was about to leave the thread, then had a moment of: wait, that defeats the purpose... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thechosenone Posted October 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 well, you succeeded Edonil where about nine others failed. Thank you sir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 I'm a big fan of feedback, and try to leave it where I will. This gives added incentive to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitetiger Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 That's a good policy. I must admit I have been guilty of that myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thechosenone Posted October 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Everyone's guilty of it, me too, but at some point we gotta realize how much we love feedback and how little we usually give. So let's be done with that. Storytellers rejoice, for today is a new day where all narratives are responded to! (Hopefully) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolution Black Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Well, as a storyteller in this very thread, (see link below...shameless plug) it is good to have feedback, and I have been guilty of reading some stories and not leaving anything. I will pledge from now on that if i read some work, I will leave some comments..and hope that people who stumble across mine will do the same! And just as a warning to those who haven't read any of my stuff yet, there is quite a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucklemonkey Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Guilty as charged. I will join in with this policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elril Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 This isn't a story thread, so I don't have to reply despite stating in the previously mentioned thread/story that I would. Oh wait.....! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfen Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 That elril always was the illogical sort! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cambrius Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 I too support this idea and commit to read more and comment on everything I read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaBreadMen Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Although I don't currently read the fiction section of the forums, I was intending to start soon, so I shall do my best to give my opinions, no matter how trivial, where possible! Keep up the good work everyone, it can often be hard to remember that 0 replies doesn't mean 0 readers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elril Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Actually it is easy to see how many views the story recieves. It isn't crickets chirping, it is silent foot traffic. <Shuffle shuffle> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePandaDirector Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 I will pledge to leave feedback sure, but first I've got to pledge to actually read stories, and then to get round writing stories and then to film stories and... and... a.. -I'll get back to work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebonstar Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Sounds like a plan. Now if I can just finish the latest part of my story...lol... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad_Badger Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 I agree. Writers on forums put in a lot of man-hours on their craft and to be recognised for it is often the best part of the whole process. If you've read someone's effort, it only takes a couple of seconds to make a comment: even a few words can validate all the effort the writer has gone to.

Necromorph Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Agreed. I usually try to post something...but as with most of us, I tend to forget from time to time. I know how you feel with responses, or lack thereof. The first story I put up here a long while back (admittedly not my best or most thought out story) got like 120+ views and no responses. Sometimes we just take that to mean, "Well that was the worst piece of garbage...I'm not even going to dignify that with a response." Though this is usually not the intention of the reader, but still, feedback is always nice. The impact, though, is that I haven't done anything more with that character.

That seems a shame...give me the link to that first story and I'll take a look....and let you know... Shame to see what could be a good character go to waste.

Cats Laughing Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 I like the idea of pledging to comment and if I get around to reading some of the stuff on this subforum, I'll do so. I suppose (for Devil's Advocate purposes) that a possible downside is clutter of a story thread with comments inbetween "chapters"(posts) by the author. I guess that would be the author's fault for not reserving additional posts and can also be addressed by simply continuing later chapters in a new thread (linked to the original, of course).

Necromorph Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 http://wyrd-games.net/forum/showthread.php?t=18830&highlight=runnin%27 That should be the link AB. Like I said, not my best, I think I wrote it in like an hour at work, haha. The character was adapted from someone I came up with for a 40k story, but he seemed easy to adapt to malifaux. I just feel like I jumped around a bit too much with his personality. The more I write on this forum the more I realize I'm better at the dark, twisted stuff than the action story.....maybe I have issues hahahahaha.
