[QUOTE="Destan, post: 1261821, member: 12157"] I'm not sure if this is the correct thread for this, but... As SH writers, we're pretty good about writing. We may take a couple weeks off here and there but, generally, we seem to share the same addiction for posting our group's exploits on the boards. Some of us, such as PC or Sep or Zad/Dru or (contact), have longevity. Some of us are relatively new. On the whole, however, most all SH writers seem a dedicated bunch. Additionally, we are fairly insistent when it comes to soliciting reader feedback. We may not beat people over the head asking for comments, and we may couch our pleas in other threads and other forums, but - in the end - one of the reasons we spin these tales is to share them with others and see what they think. At least, I think that holds true for most of us. Let me get to the reason for this post. One area we could collectively improve upon is responding to readers' responses. We very much desire reader feedback, yet rarely do we acknowledge such feedback in our own threads. If a guy takes a couple moments to post his thoughts about our stories, we should at least take a couple of minutes to comment upon them. Even if we just drop a simple thanks. Some writers are very good about supplying reciprocal feedback, others aren't. I'm part of the latter group, though I do try. Maybe this is already being done via email or something and I'm unaware of it. I'm fairly new to this community, so I could be missing the boat on this issue. I know we're all busy, and I know saying "Thanks" after every "Bump!" would get tedious, fast. But maybe we could pop in after a handful of readers' posts and try to respond to each in kind.
