I just agree with the importance of feedback, that's exactly why I ALWAYS leave a comment. Only under extreme conditions I don't. Or when I'm marathon reading a fic hehehe

To myself, I usually don't get much feedback and I know how it feels. It's extremelt demotivating, because it feels like no one cares what you write or sth... I don't really know how to explain. It does create a tad of jealousy as well, when you see people from the same 'generation' receive lots of feedback .... And also, one could feel left out :(
