Questions I've pondered.
mare:
^ oh that bugs me even more! When authors only reply to certain people but not everyone. And it's interesting you said that if they update too often you'll wait as well, Steph. I never thought of that but I can see that being overwhelming as well. If things are being updated more than once a day and it's hard to keep track of what you read and what you would still have to read. LOL
Carter-Orange:
I also never look at the read count because I know that doesn't really mean a thing. People could be clicking on the story and then straight back out again. I've done that before.
Something else that I saw mentioned was pity reviews. I wouldn't want them either, lol. Although reviews are nice and we all like them, I wouldn't beg for them. In fact, I have a hard time even promoting my stories as I don't like pushing things onto people.

That bugs me, too, and I've done the same thing - held off on reading a story because it was updated multiple times a day, and it got to be too hard to keep up with, unless I was home all day and reading chapters as soon as they were posted. But that takes some dedication; I usually don't have time for that. It's easier to just wait till it's done and read it all in one shot, so I don't have to keep trying to figure out what chapter I left off on.
Purpura Lipstick:
^ hence the somewhat selfish reason I review. LOL. To remember where I left off. That sounds bad, but really I want to review anyway, it just helps me out to leave the review too.
FrickingKaos:
I don't like when someone says "I won't update until I see more reviews". You should write for fun and not to please people. I also don't like when someone responds to some reviews and not others, its a big turn off for me when I'm reading.
