In kitsunequeen's comic (Pale*Glow) she put in her author comment on page 25 "Comments make me post more.". i totally agree with this statement.
Now, DAI actually gets plenty of comments, but it's Night Shot i wish people would pay a bit more attention, too. Yes, it is not Shounen-ai like DAI, but it is something of mine that i have been working hard on for a while now. I think it has a good plot and good characters.
Now, if i wasn't already uploading NS on Deviantart as well, i may actually update a little less considering there are only a few people that even comment. (don't get me wrong, i am very grateful for you, and you know who you are). I mean, NS is said to have over 100 fans, but how many of those people actually read it? I wish i had those statistics...
Also, no one ever seems to comment on people's news updates. why not? seriously, people, leaving a comment on a page, or reading someone's news is only going to take a minute or two out of your day, but to the person recieving the comment, it could really brighten up their day.
I'm not meaning to sound like a comment whore or anything, but since i have created DAI and compared it to NS, some concerns have been rising.
Why do comments make me want to update more? For one, it shows me people are reading, and enjoying, my work. Sometimes i get up in the morning and think to myself "i don't feel like working today" but then i get on and read the wonderful comments you guys leave me and i am suddenly empowered. i am doing it all for you, but i do need the support to carry on.
