Hey peeps,
just one more thing that I find necessary to mention AGAIN.
Someone who writes a story and sends it to us to have it published on Neverland wants to have feedback; everyone of you who writes knows how important it is to know what the others think about their story, BUT only to rate without leaving any comments isn't helpful.
For example, look at Noa's story, she has 9 brilliants and 2 alrights, but only 3 comments. She has no clue why people rated her story brilliant or alright. It is alright to give only rates if there are already some comments who mentioned things that you found brilliant/good/alright as well, they don't have to be repeated a thousand times, but if not, please, take some time (30 seconds!!) to let the author know why you rated her brilliant/good/alright, what you liked about the story or maybe would have liked more and what she could improve on her writing or whatever.
Comments on this post are appreciated too :)
Have a lovely day and enjoy reading and commenting,
Steffi

thank you, Steffi!!
we had some email contact with writers over the last years that are really unhappy about the "only rating attidue" of many readers. And I can only agree: Please take a few minutes to think about a comment. You take hours to download and read a story and I think it is only fair to let the people know what you think about it as well.
I'm on vacation for a week now, but I will be online every now and then. Be nice, peeps :)
A comment on your writing is always nice, makes the hard work and time all worthwhile. I leave a comment on every fic I read
Once again I agree with Beck! I as a writer and I know other writers as well take time to write stories, pooring thoughts and emotions into them and for people to just read and rate it doesn't help. My thought is why should I take time to write and share my writing with people if they aren't going to provide me any feedback, I see it as a waste of my time and talent when it gets to that stage.
I also do my best to leave a comment on everything I read, it doesn't take long honest!
Gosh I can't spell! I mean pouring! I need to go to sleep!
Just an idea, maybe you should put up how many pages the stories is and how many chapters there is so we know before we start reading the story =)
I love westlife till now and reading your fiction story is really great, I enjoyed the reading but if it's help, I suggest give more describing sentences. It would bring the feeling well...but thanks for writing this anyway...
