What have you learned from your readers/commenters?

[ryoko]

I've learned readers are very helpful in finding spelling mistakes ^_^;

Also, what they focus on depending on which platform they're reading my series on is fascinating. Sometimes their comments are similar, but other times they are so completely different on the same episode that it's mind-bending

Readers also like to make predictions and guess which is really fun to read

I looooove reading readers' guesses. If they figure it out, I feel like a proud parent

Guess I'll just have to start selling merch of his butt. Corgi mousepads anyone?

[Random_Guy]

Well f#ck, I'd buy it.
If I, y'know, had any money.

Adding airbrush shading in blue or black colors instantly makes a story feel dark. Oh and I have terrible writing structure and I need to go to school for that.

[Kiweevil]

Well, since you're technically a commenter, I guess I'll change my answer.

What I've learned from my commenters is that Norman's butt is going to pay for my student loans.

[Random_Guy]

Hell yeah it will.

So that’s how I found out he was certified in archery and I had to rework my whole scene

Omg that is freaking hysterical and also, as a writer, terrible!! I’ve definitely written vague scenes, googled for more information and realized I was in too deep (I also ask my husband vague, zero context questions and hope for the best LOL)

I have SEVERAL tabs open for the most random things because I’m constantly juggling whether I want something to be accurate or not. Quite a few things in my story are fantastical and of course fictional AND set in the past so I have to constantly balance historical accuracy with my own brand of world building.

And I already gave him a heads up to answer all my seemingly random questions

[Maps]

Oh no! Some people really just let it out, don't they...

[YangKoete]

Very little.

I don't get any comments and only a few likes ;3;

I’m always being told on here when it comes to my writing; I either do enough to keep the reader reading, or not enough to make them click the next chapter.

It can suck, but burnout is my excuse to why my writing sucked for a while and not my inexperience.

[Maps]

I feel you. It can be tough to write in a way that keeps the reader clicking through every single chapter - and the burn out is reaaaal. But, hit that keyboard when the inspiration hits. You'll only grow from doing.

So far I've learned people really like tacos. Which, ya know, you can't fault them.

[Maps]

How weird!!! Starts writing tacos into script

But really, that's an interesting one
