I agree with all of this - it's really hard to get motivated when there's not a lot of support for a story. I understand all of the newer users stick to their friends' stories, but aren't we your friends too?

I also tend not to comment (rip) but I know the importance of commenting. what you've stated here in general is important- and as blaze said, there are many wonderful writers here (all of the ones who have commented on this blog are brilliant writers) and they don't get nearly as much attention as the "mainstream" writers.

and as a brief message to all of the newer users: don't ignore us older users. please read our stories and motivate us. don't just read the new stuff - we value your time in reading our fanfics too.
