Question of the day part 9 (even though days go by lol)
mare:
I don't base the number of reviews on how good or bad my story or someone else's is either. Like I admitted in the confession thread, I do look at other people's reviews but that's more to decide if I want to read it or not. If a story has no reviews, I wont skip it or anything. If it sounds like something I'd like to read, I'll try it out.

Since Rose is starting up a new awards.
Do you let awards influence what you read? If you had a choice between reading something that had no awards and something that did would you choose based on that? How important is it for your stories to win awards or does it not matter one way or the other?

I don't let awards influence what I read. Or, better say, they don't influence my liking on the story. I think, in the end, depends on the summary of the story. I probably will read both, especially the one with award just out of curiosity.
I've never won an award so I guess it's not really that important. I'll be happy and proud if it happens, of course.

Do you base the number of reviews a story has (yours or someone else's) on how good or bad it must be?
No not really. If a story of mine had hardly any reviews, I'd put it down to it not being something people like, although I might feel a little disappointed that no one liked it. But as long as I enjoyed writing it, it wouldn't be a total waste of time.
As for other people's stories, I don't let review count decide whether it's good or bad. I've read stories with hardly any reviews and loved them, but I've also come across stories with loads of reviews and not enjoyed them at all.

Awards are fun and it's always nice to be nominated or win one, but it's not the end of the world if I don't get one.
If a story won an award, I'd take a look out of curiosity, but I've also read many good stories which have no awards at all.
