If it feedback that has a return, either PM or email. Usually fairly quickly within a day or two.
For what it's worth.
Not that I get a ton, so it's usually not a big thing to keep up with

In the past, almost immediately. When I first came on Lit, I was posting stories, and didn't go in the forums. Then I joined the AH and although I spent a lot of time on line, I still was pretty good at replying to feedback, usually within a week.

Of late......I've been distracted. And I've only posted one poem in the last 12 months, feedback in those 12 months has been very sparse. I currently have 4 feedbacks in my e-mail to which I need to reply.

This thread has been a kick in the conscience. I'll reply today. Thank you.

I try to respond as soon as possible to let the reader know that I appreciated their comments. Sometimes it may take me a couple of days. Montana Summer 07 was a chore responding to, in the first two weeks I had about 250 emails about it...and still get one to two emails a day about it...

It depends on my writing productivity.

The more productive, the faster I reply back.

You would think it would be the oppossite, but it's not.

sincerely,

I want another poll: How often do you reply to feedback. When I reply, I reply as soon as I see the thing. But I sadly, don't reply to even half. And even more sadly, I can't remember getting much lately.

See, thats the stuff. Now I'm starting to feel better, none of this 24-48 hour stuff!

 

[damppanties]

I even PM people who leave PCs. Please don't throw anything at me. I think it's a disease or something. Feel free to leave me out of this and continue.

 

[dr_mabeuse]

Immediatey usually, maximum 48 hours if I'm busy.

Erratic

Feedback - I try if there is a return address. I'm not always consistent. It depends on pressure of RL events. If a week or so has gone by I don't respond.

PCs. Depends if I see them. With over 100 stories I'm not sure of the total of PCs on each one so if a PC is left I may not notice.

I make resolutions to respond at least to all identifiable feedback but if the Muses have their whips out nothing gets in the way of writing.

Apologies to those I haven't responded to. Your remarks/comments are appreciated even if they are rude, derogatory and offensive. It shows that you care...

I reply to feedback as soon as I see it, or I tend to space & forget.
I try to keep up w/PC's but don't always catch new ones.
One person sent me really nice feedback, but never mentioned which story
they'd read.

 

[lil_elvis]

Usually, I reply within the same day of receiving it.

 

[carsonshepherd]

Like Matriarch, at first I replied immediately.

Now, uh, I would have to check "never." I suck.

 

[maggot420]

Ditto.

Ditto too

If my brain isn't burning with story ferver, I try to get it out right away, otherwise they tend to sit in my email box until I get tired of looking at them and they are too old to answer anyway. I got bogged down after some of my stories seemed to get more feedback then others and have tried to learn my lesson. Sometimes it's a relief to see the "Anonymous" in the email address. I still get my mental ego pleasure strokes and don't have to do anything about it.

Og, your avatar is what we young people call way cool.

 

[CrimsonMaiden]

I get them pretty often, so I don't answer very quickly. Usually they pile up until I get tired of looking at them and then I reply with a "sorry for the delay". If they are older than a month though, I don't reply.

That's 'cause Og IS way cool.

Response to feedback. I try to respond as soon as possible after getting feedback. That's usually no problem with a contest entry, but there can be a long delay for stories I've submitted some time in the past.

Example: Last summer, Stella left feedback to one of my stories. Even though I try to check the stats of my old stories ever so often, I missed her message until a few weeks ago.

I wish there was a way to be notified when a story gets feedback.

[rgraham666]

I reply as soon as I notice if I can.

I don't get huge numbers of comments, best I've done so far is a little over fifty, so it's not that hard.

I have missed comments occasionally though.

I believe you're talking about public comments not feedback.

 

[MichelleLovesTo]

If it's a, "Thank you for your kind words" -- immediately. If the feedback/comments were more involved, I might take a day so I can give a better response.

Well, I leave public feedback for other readers to read, really, but that's a good point. If I want to make sure YOU read it, I'll PM you or send anon feedback- with my email address.
It kills me sometimes, when I get an anon from someone who has had something really insightful- or really sexy- or really stupid- to say, and I can't answer them!

 

[Colleen Thomas]

As quickly as I may. that's generally withing 24 hours, but can be weks if I am out of pocket or just nor feeling well.

I'm anal that way myself, dampy.
I reply as soon as I get it and PM as soon as I notice the new PC. The only time I don't is when I can't cuz they haven't told me who they are. *bitching to self* I hate it when they're anon.
