If you ever wondered if you should leave feedback for a writer, yes, you really should. I don't care if they wrote the story in 2003, I'm sure they'd love to hear that it, ummm.... moved you. In whatever way.
And in case you're wondering if it makes a difference in how much they write, that I can't say for certain. Right now I couldn't stop even if no one was reading it at all. But I'll tell you one thing I know for sure: Feedback makes me write faster and for longer periods of time.
Oh, and virtual roses from
_alicesprings? They make me stay up all night writing. *thanks her*
