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?

Kudos is a great way of thanking an author when you don't know what words to use - and sometimes a fic can leave me speeechless - a bit like that pause that sometimes happens before an audience applauds a piece of music because they are still in the world it created.

The other good thing about kudos is that it gives a better idea than hit count on whether a piece is liked (oneshots particularly where you can't judge by the number who read on to the next chapter). All that hit counts tell me is that I had a good enough summary/title for people to click, or that the fic attracted people who liked that rating/pairing/fandom.

Before Kudos, if I had a massive hit count but no comments, then I would fear that everyone had hated the fic.

Comments are wonderful of course, and I always try to leave them and reply to them - I think its a cool way of interacting in fandom.
