Questions I've pondered.

And that does work sometimes; I know I'm more likely to at least give something a try when I see it's written by someone who has been a regular reviewer of my stories. I love to return the favor when I can, but I won't review if it's not really something that appeals to me, because that would be fake. Pity reviews are degrading.

Too true, nobody wants pity reviews.
RokofAges75:
That's why it drives me nuts to see people begging for reviews. What's the point of that? Those who review are going to review anyway, if they're genuinely enjoying your story. Those who don't review probably still won't. The only reviews anyone attracts by begging for them are pity reviews from people who see them begging and feel sorry for them. At the same time, people who don't feel sorry for them and instead are annoyed by that kind of attention-seeking behavior are less likely to even give the story a chance, let alone review. So they probably lose as many potential reviews as they gain by begging.
Purpura Lipstick:
What do you think of stories that change their summaries? I've been thinking of divulging more of what the story is about for Chronos Project.
FrickingKaos:
It hurts me when someone reads almost the whole story, then just stops and never explains why they stopped. I am not gonna be upset...people should be honest. I leave a review for 99 percent of everything I read.

I think that's a good idea. Sometimes it's hard to write a summary if you're not totally sure where the story's going to go when you first post it. Or sometimes you just think up a better summary later. Go for it!
