I think it can be difficult for a writer to reply to other stories.
I have a certain style, and prefer certain formats.
So when I (and I'm sure that this goes for a lot of us) read a story,
you tend to pay attention to those things.
I shall give you a small example.
I try to write as realistic as possible.
That's "my thing".
A story can be as crazy as it gets,
but I need to have a feeling that it COULD happen in real life.
I have been reading many stories here that would never happen in real life;
Whole families having sex with each other, including their toddlers.
The stories might be written beautifully, technically speaking,
and the story itself might be quite interesting,
but what could I say to the writer?
"Sorry dude, written great but to far fetched."
Okay, first of all: I get it. I felt the same way once. I didn't often read the other writers because they didn't write like me. When I did read, I didn't comment for exactly the same reason.
But consider this - if realism was the great barometer of what deserves a comment, then the following works/authors would never get a single reply:
Chaucer, Milton, Shakespeare, Heinlen, Bradbury, Dante, any work of science fiction, any work of fantasy, any work of metafiction, and to me, the worst of all, no Vonnegut or Wilde.
How about saying 'thanks for writing'? If nobody but you wrote on this site, you'd find yourself without a place to post very quickly.
Anyway, I don't want to make this into anything other than a discussion on criticism. I have absolutely nothing against you, and I intend to read one of your stories... and post a positive comment.
Have a nice day, and keep writing!
