A few readers have commented to me both in public and private about changes they would make to the plot of my stories, or suggestions for possible sequels. Most of the time they're polite enough about it, but my usual response is some variation of 'go write your own story'. I'm wondering if other authors get these kinds of suggestions, and how they handle them.

I never get those, which confirms that my stories are perfect of course ;)
Quote by LikeToWrite
I welcome in-depth feedback, both good and bad, from readers, because that tells me where I am weak and need to pay more attention to my writing. Simple comments from readers such as ‘Great’, ‘I love it’ or ‘a 5’ are nice and they caress my ego, but they don’t tell me anything.

I don't get suggestions on how to change the plot of a story - most of the suggestions are how to make it read better (thank you Mods!).
Now I occasionally get ideas FOR stories and I will use a conversation I have with someone as the basis of a story (with due permission of course). I have written a few stories as we bounce ideas off each other.
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
