writethisfanficI love all the cheerleading & commiserating going on in yesterday's check-in post! Yay! How's it going today?
And in keeping with the fanfic flamingo theme, let's talk about comments. The flamingo has a lot to say about comments.
I think I can identify with all of those images, heh. My favorite might be this one, though:
[Background — a six piece pie style colour split in three shades of pink. Foreground — the long neck and face of a pink flamingo.

So! Comments! Do you find them a big motivator? Do you find yourself working more on stories that you anticipate will get a lot of comments? Or maybe you're in a tiny fandom or your OTP is really obscure/unpopular: do you find that this means you don't worry about getting comments (maybe it just makes you really, really want the one comment from the one person who'll get the story!)? Are they icing on the cake, but not something you think about while you're actually writing a story? Do you not care at all (or try not to)? Be honest!
&, importantly, do you leave comments yourself?
