Random pondering about feedback

[ratherastory]

So I've been trying to catch up on comments to my fic, because I'm behind on everything fandom-related and feeling a bit guilt-ridden as a result. Anyway, that's moving along, so I thought I would indulge my curiosity and ask my ever-understanding flist for your opinions.

Do you guys care at all whether an author replies to your feedback? Do you feel annoyed/insulted/whatever if your comment goes unanswered, especially when you've taken the time to leave really detailed feedback?

To make it easier for y'all, I've made a poll. It's totally not because I like fiddling around with the LJ toys. No. Not at all... *shifty look*

What are your thoughts?

I don't feel offended when someone doesn't reply to my comments... sometimes RL just gets too busy and then I completely understand that people don't feel like replying to every single comment they get.

I appreciate it to hear back from people when I leave longer comments, mostly because I just enjoy discussing fics or whatever, but it's not really necessary. I'm usually just thankful that there are fics around that are worth commenting on ;) [Because in some of other fandoms that hardly ever happens]

I totally second everything you wrote.
