I always enjoy constructive feedback, regardless of the source. Every person brings a new perspective that I can learn something from. Commments are always more useful than votes because I know who made the comment, and can approach them to expand on what they said. There's nothing more annoying than getting a 2 on a story, and not being able to understand why the voter felt it deserved a 2, and what needed to be changed to get a higher score. I may not agree with the voter, but I would want to understand their view either way.
i love the comments. i appreciate the feed back and even constructive criticism. I feel like it inspires me to be a better writer and to make the next story stronger.
The feed back is nice. It lets you know that people take time to vote and comment. Even the bad comments help.
I'm just glad that there is a place called Lush and I'am able to write my stories and a few poems that otherwise wouldn't have been read at all.
So any comment be it private message or on the comments page is more than welcome to me. I really love it when I get a reply on my work.
And when I have received comments that have been not negative, but contructive to improve my work I like that even more, it shows that other writer's care and have the courage to say to be, hey I've seen you do better, and you know you can do better. It makes me pull my socks up and think... Yeah there right, I could do better.
getting votes and comments on my stories well poems for me is part of the high of writing for me I am happy whether I know the person or not most though I usually know as I've been around Lush for a good while some I have never talked with and some I am very good friends with but either way it's always nice to get a compliment on your work.
I appreciate the votes on my story but I really am looking for comments both positive and negative alike. It gives me a idea what I have done right and wrong with my stories. It doesn't matter if you write or not as everybody here knows what they like and don't like about stories. It is interesting to get different perspectives on my works
I always send constructive criticism via PM, but it wouldn't bother me if someone left a comment at the end of one of my stories with suggestions on how I can improve. It helps me, and other writers too, having it on public display. It's a good way to become less sensitive about criticism and writing.
I always appreciate feedback of any kind as long as it's given with some degree of intelligence. Even though some people on this site have different tastes than I do, I haven't had any issues with anything anyone has said. (even if accompanied by a '1' vote) On other sites you get a lot of bullshit feedback,but not on here.
I enjoy feedback on my stories. Like all of the other posts, it helps me understand what I need to do to better my next story. I agree that I would rather have a PM with any negative feedback.
I appreciate posted comments and PMs on my stories no matter who they come from. It is always helpful to know how a reader responded to one of my stories, whether positive, lukewarm, or even less so. And, well, it is just good to know that someone read my writing, felt something, and cared enough to let me know what they thought.
I prefer honesty to asslicking.
Really there's nothing as annoying as a vote of 5 on a story you yourself wouldn't rate higher than a 3.
I'm not that good on grammar, I usually make up my own verbs too..
But when I sit down to write I put my all into it. most of my work never gets finished.
Though that is what you get for not writing in your own language.
Most comments are very nice but votes don't mean shit!

Now, now Bunny...btw, I vote and comment on every story I read...with very rare exceptions I can probably count on one hand...
The comments are my bread and butter. They are what I live for. They tell me if my audience likes or dislikes my work. Constructive criticism is the best, because you can kill anyone's passion with unwarranted harshness. The votes are good, but I am not in a race with anyone.
I agree. I like honest feedback. I am very new to writing erotic stories. I just posted my very first one yesterday. I would love to know what I can do better so I can work on it.
Is it possible to lose a vote on a story?
I agree with Rawiya71, its good to hear some sort of feedback just to have an idea of where your story stands.
Lots of porkies and outright lies here ... I am probably the only one that gives harsh but honest comments
or I did when I could ... and of course there was an occasional DB approved for the quality writing
thats a pinnacle you should aim for...
but more than a few whinged and whined because of my comment andd even threatened me because of it ...
But there was just a few who wanted to know more and I would even edit their stories and add some advice ...
and now they are pretty good at it ....
but dont come out with we love comments good and bad ... Necho says it as it really is ..
) and of course I learned that constructive criticism will be send to your PM.
