How much do you interact with readers?

[LukasGrey]

How often does everyone interact with their readers? I was surprised when I started publishing to see people start emailing me...

How often does everyone respond on this kind of thing? I have found myself engaging with a few folks and have really enjoyed it!

I always appreciate readers taking the time to email me, and I try to respond back if they leave an email address. For the most part, I've encountered very nice and encouraging people (and some weird ones haha).

I love, LOVE readers commenting and emailing - it means they had strong feelings (good and bad) and I appreciate that.

I thank everyone by email who favorites me personally as I take that as a huge honor in the midst of so many great writers.

Any comments left on my stories will get a response from me as again I'm so grateful they took the time.

Emails, oh yeah, I respond in kind.

In the writing profession you never hear much from fans I find. Sure at signings, readings and appearances but that is a staged event and very different to me. Here, I can communicate directly, much more personally - I love it!

I'm not surprised at the reaction you, get as "Carnal Knowledge" is very good.

Signed, a fan.

That is so nice of you to say, LF! Thank you!

I've had some prolonged contact via emails on stories (the longest probably with my major publisher and cowriter who commented on a story on another site eleven years ago, and we have chatted every day since). Ones I particularly enjoy is having the opportunity to give background that went into the writing of stories readers comment on.

I got feedback from readers through comments and emails for my first few stories. Then the emails stopped, and now I get few unsolicited comments. I appreciate the comments I get, but there aren't many.
