User blog:Cchen3/hi guys! please read :)

So I've been noticing a lot of new users around, so welcome to WFW! :)

But along with new users, is the problem with commenting. I'm not pointing fingers or blaming, but I think making this blog will be easier (only if everyone reads of course) and so the staff doesn't have to message users individually about commenting.

We've made it a rule that comments should be constructive, which means you either tell the author what you like, or you tell the author what you think they can change (this also means you can do both! It's most prefered you do both :)). They don't have to be long comments! A few sentences is fine, as long as it's constructive.

Here are some examples:

Non-constructive: GOOD STORY! I NEED MORE!

Constructive: I really like this story! I love your character development in Hollypaw though I feel as though you can add on to the other characters a bit more. (and so on).

See the difference? Your comments don't have to be long paragraphs or anything, but they should be like the second example. Constructive comments give the authors something to improve on, and it can be the praise you give in the constructive comments that spur them to keep writing.

Commenting is really important guys! I know constructive comments seem hard, but they can be a few sentences. You don't know how much a comment will mean to an author, and I can tell you it myself. I really just have Rainy reading my stories and commenting, and that's really awesome for me. It helps me keep writing :) I'm sure the same applies to all of you!

So thanks for reading, please leave a comment below so I know you guys read it :) Any thoughts on a summer (sorry Southern Hemisphere ppl :C ) game/activity that will help with commenting and other things?
