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?

A response is always nice, but if you're working on more fanfic, a tardy response is definitely not a problem.

BTW, when is your next Fusion 'Verse story coming. I've re-read the others about three or four times now.

Uh, soon? I'm working on a couple of things with deadlines, and my latest Fusion story has hit a minor roadblock in terms of where I want it to go. But I'm working on it. :)

Wow, that was quick! LOL

I've seen your beta requests, so I know you're working under a few deadlines.

Is it the puppy? Or are those two idiot hunters giving you trouble?

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

No puppy. I'm really sorry. *hangs head in shame*

Dang, woman, you need to get a trainer for that Fusion!puppy. ; )

Probably he ran off into the woods to chase plot bunnies.

Seriously. She's not even in this story, either. Yes, I know who the puppy is (it's a dog, not a puppy, and I already know her name and what she's like). I will get to it eventually!
