How to talk to my readers?

How do you manage to talk to your readers when you dont want to answer every single Feedback, but give them a general note on what they wrote?

I thought to post it just like a story but i dont think thats a good idea. How do you deal with it? How can you discuss with them - besides of this forum.

You can post a comment on your own story.

Depends on how they contact you. If they send you personal feedback to your email, I always respond, so long as there's something to respond to. If all they do is comment anonymously on a story, all you can really do is comment on the same story and tell them to contact you. I leave behind comments on stories that address a lot of comments, and I've had a reader respond to that, so it can work. If it's another member, then send them a private message.

There are two things you can do. One, as already mentioned, is leave a comment on your story. The second is to address the issues in the biography section of your author profile. Many authors use this section to inform their readers of what they are working on, when the next installment of a continuing story can be expected, or where the story is going. I don't see any reason that this section couldn't be used to address concerns raised by your readers.

Of course, both of these features would require the person who posted the comment to check back for your response. There is no reason for an author to assume that the readers will, in fact, do so.
