I'm a writer. I when a story is in progress it helps keep me motivated to write the next chapter. But after the story is finished a comment at the end of the chapter or end of the story feels good. I know many readers prefer to leave comments at the end. I've learned to ask for an end of story com

I suck at commenting as I go (especially a story I've just found and am zipping along as fast as I can) but if I'm following something as it is posted, I try to say something each chapter. As a writer, it makes me feel good to know someone's reading.But a nice comment at the end is good also.

@TeamEricNSookie - You should put comments whenever you feel like. Writers are always happy to hear from the readers. For me personally, I try to comment on every chapter of a story I read. But even one comment on a story at the end lets the author know you liked their work and is appreciated!

@TeamEricNSookie, I definitely agree with the other responses you got to your question. Personally, I try to leave comments on as many chapters as possible because I want the writer to know how their words have impacted me. I know as a writer in can be a confidence booster especially if a chapter wa

@TeamEricNSookie: but otherwise you can obviously do what you like, no one can force you to write your comments in any given way (:

@TeamEricNSookie: sometimes I check other people's comments to see what they say about a chapter, and then I run into spoilers for the story, because of comments written to the first chapter for instance, containing info about the whole story.

@TeamEricNSookie, I leve a lot of comments and they serve multiple uses. They are not only for the writer, they also function like a bookmark and if there's a long time between the chapters, reading them can jump-start my memory.

@TeamEricNSookie honestly whatever you feel most comfortable with. I know how much work I put into each chapter so it feels really good if someone finds something interesting in more than one chapter. But that's a lot of work to comment that much so leaving a comment at the end is perfect also

I have a question.... I have been a reading member for several years now and try to always leave a comment once I complete a story. However I have noticed that a lot of people, mostly writers, leave comments after every chapter. Do you, writers, have a preference? Why? Is one comment okay?

The October event was amazing! Thanks to the writers, artists, and mods for running such a great thing! I’m hoping to get back and finish my WiP after being so inspired by you all. I’m also inspired by deciding to attend the Comic Con in Aberdeen, UK next March! Whee!
