I like long walks on the beach, red wine, and boobs.

oh... crap. I'm in the wrong thread, aren't I?

Interesting how similar our tastes are. Up to a certain point, I imagine.

Wait . . . you distracted me.

I protest against such objectification of women! You didn't even care to post a picture of a beach... and wine. You women need to stop being such chauvinists!

Nice, firm rebuttal. Well played.

View numbers. I chart my story views, get a pretty accurate overview of what's happening and in rare cases when it cross refers to emails what they're reading. For example, I have followers that may not read my stuff until well after publication but email me about aspects of the story or the story in general weeks, months later. I always reply. Others ask about story or character follow-ons or story ideas.
I've said on my profile that favoriting is not necessary and I don't do the vote thing, just read if you want.
On the very odd occasion a troll takes a stroll and emails, that's never a problem but they don't get to use my story as a billboard and lambast, publicly criticize somebody else's positive comment. To be fair trolls tend to feed around one particular genre.
If readers are serious commentators, they email. I update my profile regularly and follow my followers. If selling your product is that important take care of your loyal customers. Anyway - works for me.

My heart skips a beat every time I see a new comment appear on my dashboard. I can't tap through to read it fast enough. I've been struggling to write recently, but each new comment gives me a little boost of motivation. And I have to agree with MelissaBaby...

...nothing makes me happier than when a reader says I made them cry.

I'd like to say the scores don't matter to me, but I can't. I try to ignore scores, but always wonder what I did wrong if a story doesn't get to at least 4.5.

 

[EmilyMiller]

What do you value more on a story?
1 ) Rating
2) Views
3) Favorites

4) Comments or PMs / Feedback

What average rating makes you happy?
1) 4.00 - 4.25
2) 4.26 - 4.50
3) > 4.50

4) > 4.7

Comments or PMs / Feedback

positive comments and / or PMs. Or very badly written, ungrammatical, non-sequitur negative ones. I'll take either.

I really don’t mind negative comments, so long as they don’t become ad hominem and have some basis.

You are a worthless slut who can’t write

I thought the ending was too rushed

Yeah PMS can be a bitch, I heard...

4) > 4.7

I suppose I agree with the >4.7 which also feels like the kind of standard designed to make me miserable.

Possible exception for @onehitwanda if she ties you up before telling you that between swats?

Well, she's only done it once every 8 times she's posted. (I haven't read any of them)

Yeah, obsessively refreshing for updates is very much an AH neurosis, my apologies.

No. Each and every time. Do I need to go get the wrist and ankle cuffs… again?

And your didn’t open your mark-up!

No, @onehitwanda prefers to restrain you herself. Always says I do a half-ass job of it. Which is fair.
