And yes I deseve SLIGHT punishment, but NOBODY reads my latest chapters. You guys didn't even notice I was blacklisted, my entire story was hidden and nobody commented, since they weren't looking at my story. You guys comment when WF gets blacklisted, you would comment if kingwrench got B-listed. Sure you guys probably would since they write better stories and are more popular, but a comment once in a while would be nice, I got desperate. Sorry for the quite off topic post but I had to explain myself.[/quote][b]Pro-tip:[/b] [i]When making alts, don't use similar names, and try to use better or even worse spelling and acronyms so you don't draw to much attention to yourself.[/i]
The reason we post to some topics when people get blacklisted is because the writer has earned it. They've managed to write chapters even at times when there weren't a lot of people reading the story. Also, most people don't read 3 or 4 stories at the same time, and when I also have to spend a lot of time on school, that decreases to 1 and the occasional story I read when I come across it. I'm not saying you don't deserve more readers or anything like that, I'm just saying you need more patience. With patience, and good chapters, you will earn readers, but don't try to get more replies using such [u]low[/u] methods.
Sure it feels rewarding to get replies, but sometimes a story is not very original, exciting or realistic enough to be enjoyable. Bad spelling and grammar also ruin the joy of reading, as people sometimes use completely unrelated words that only sound a bit the same. In that case, they should complete their education first, or take an additional course of the English language. If one of these is the case and the write fails to better them, more and more people will start forgetting to read the story or just plainly avoid it.
In your case, you were lucky to receive so many replies on the first few chapters that you've grown used to it. If you don't get as many replies anymore, you feel like you're not doing enough or you'll blame it on the readers. Blaming it on the readers is never a good thing to do, all this does is make them detest you and/or your work. Also, if you don't get a lot of replies, it doesn't necessarily mean that you don't have a lot of readers, it just means they either don't want to comment, can't comment (time issues, school, etc.) or forget to comment.
