WIP Challenge Check-in, Day 19 -- Saturday

Saturday is here at last!  I hope it's a great day for you, whether writing happens or not.

Have you had a good week of writing?  Did you accomplish any of your goals?  Do you feel like you are on track for what you wanted to accomplish this month?  Post here anything you want to share, like story snippets, word counts, complaints about writer's block, or pleas for betas.

Here's one last Flamingo-influenced discussion post for the week:


 
How do you feel about lack of comments on a story you've posted.  At archive sites where kudos is given, is this good enough feedback for you or would you prefer comments?

I have not gotten that much writing done this week, though I did get some which I am happy about. But since this is a long weekend in Canada, I'm hoping to really get some solid work done across the board over the next three days.

Lack of comments does make me sad, especially with something I'm really proud of. I do however definitely like getting at least a kudos or a favourite, even if I'd rather a bit more concrit. That said, I also almost never leave comments so I can't complain too much.

One thing that helps with lack of comments at least over at FF.Net is being able to track views. I have a big multi-chapter fic I'm posting now over there and it's really great to see how many people are reading it, especially how many people are getting all the way to the latest chapter. So even if I only have 6 or so reviews on it, I know that about 100 people or so have felt the need to read what is posted so far.
