Responding to Feedback Emails?

How does one respond, especially when you get questions but it's a do not reply auto-email from Litererotica?

If it's anonymous, there's no way to respond. If they've given an email address, you click on that and send them an email.

I always try to respond to any feedback I get, it's one of the few ways you get any validation for your writing.

If you click on their email to response would it come from you directly, or also be a Litererotica email?

Literotica comms stop once the email addresses are given. After that, it's outside Lit, just you and the other person using your private email accounts.

Once I figured that out, I have had many good conversations in private email accts with various authors

As has been mentioned: anonymous feedbacks, you can do nothing about.

If there's an email address, if clicking on it doesn't do anything, you can typically copy and paste.

I answer all the feedback emails I get, even if they aren't glowing (I disabled anonymous feedback years ago). The other person has taken time not only to read your work, but also has taken additional time to give a critique of it. If they liked it, I thank them then try to find out what in particular worked for them. If they disliked it, I still thank them for their time, but try to understand what bothered them, if they don't come right out and state their problem at the start. And even the most hateful, vitriolic message gets the same polite courtesy as a positive one.

I regularly correspond with several authors, and there have only been two that have not responded. On the other hand, because I get a vicarious pleasure out of taunting the trolls and haters in LW, I have been flamed several times anonymously and called everything but a human

I respond to any feedback that has an email address. I hit reply, copy and paste the email address in the address field.

I will respond unless the person sends me a dic pic. Or really any genitalia picture, or becomes a stalker.
