Brevity is the soul of wit, and I’m afraid I haven’t been very brief this chapters.

So I’ll keep things simple this time.

I hope this resource has been eye-opening and beneficial to you.  It was my goal to provide perspective and information for both readers and writers in this online community.

While feedback is, of course, useful to to me, the greatest gift, if you found this helpful, would be to share this with others.  

Remember that you are a part of this community, whether you’re a reader, writer, or a bit of both.  Communities are created and maintained not by the efforts of one but by the collective endeavors of many, no matter how small the contribution.  

So, writers: Value your readers, their input, their feedback, and keep them on the edge of their seat with your magnificent works.  Understand that they are people, and give them the benefit of the doubt.  Nurture that relationship.

And, readers: Show your writers what their efforts and craftsmanship are appreciated by providing them the much-needed support throughout their creative processes.  A few minutes of your day can mean the world to a writer struggling with their muse and methods.

Only you have the power to facilitate change in your behavior.  I hope this might be the start of it. If you learned something from this piece and found yourself nodding in agreement, please don’t just carelessly toss this to the side.  I implore you to make a difference, to communicate with that human being on the other side of the screen — and, of course, humans both crave and benefit from kindness and gratitude.

Do your part, my friends.  It begins with you.

We’re always striving to improve our writing, and as writers we’re often looking to help our fellow craftsmen improve too. Here are some tips to help you provide better feedback and critique!

Be specific. Point out particular lines or moments that you think are informative to your critique. Don’t just say “I liked it” or “I thought it was good.”

Be honest, but polite. Your goal is not to tear someone down or make them feel bad, but to help them improve. That being said, if you only share what you found positive about their writing then you may be depriving them of an invaluable chance to get better.

Keep in mind the target audience. A work you read might not be intended for you, and the writer doesn’t have to change their work to specifically appeal to you. Just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean it doesn’t work within the type of story the author is trying to tell.

Ask the author what they want you to check for. Looking over other people’s stories can feel a little daunting sometimes, and narrowing down the focus can be helpful for both you and the author.

Parse the feedback on what is most helpful for the writer. You don’t want to overwhelm them with too many comments either. 

Have fun with it! Develop a good rapport with the author to make it more of a conversation. I know as a writer I love talking about my writing, and most other writers feel the same. Who knows, you might even make a new friend from it.

Since I've put so much emphasis on providing feedback, I believe it's only fair if I offer some instruction as well.

1. Thank your writers. They put a lot of work into producing this content for you — it is only gracious to thank them for their efforts. If someone gave you a piece of art or a homemade gift, the correct response is gratitude. Why is writing any different?

2. Be personal. It goes without saying, but writers are not robots who can crank out writing nonstop. They are providing you content that is creative and comes from the heart — the writing process is a subjective, tedious one. I think it is only gracious to reflect that same warmth and care in your feedback. Speak human to human. There is someone with very real feelings and thoughts on the other side of the screen.

What are some ways to be personal?

a) Pay attention to writers’ notes. There may be certain events going on in their lives. Maybe they’re struggling with the illness of a family member or celebrating a positive experience. They obviously only include information they wish to share. If a friend came up to you and said “It’s my birthday!” would you ignore them? Probably not; it doesn’t seem polite. Or if a friend said “I’m feeling a little bummed out. My dog passed away,” the socially correct response is to offer your condolences.

b) If you happen to realize that the writer is reaching a milestone — 100 chapters, one-year anniversary on AO3, etc. — celebrate it! Congratulate them!

c) Bring up past conversations. While your feedback is speaking to the writing, you are allowed to bring up past interactions that can enrich your comments. Maybe the writer mentioned something about a plot twist a while back. Adding a “I remember you mentioning this!” can really make writers feel special because that means you were paying attention.

3. Be specific and relevant.

I mentioned this in the previous chapter, but I think it’s worth mentioning again: I have a fuel tank for my inspiration when it comes to writing. I can run on a near-empty tank, but it’s difficult for me to do, and I struggle with creating content. It’s far easier for me to write and put out quality work when my inspiration tank is full. Every piece of feedback I receive fills it with a certain amount of inspiration.

Quality feedback refills my inspiration tank far more quickly than vague and general comments do. What are ways in which you can be specific and relevant to increase the quality of your comments?

a) You’re obviously reading this particular piece of writing for a reason. What makes you choose this story over others? What makes it special or unique? Is it the writer’s personal style? Their knack for detail and imagery? Do their sentences flow beautifully? Is their characterization spot-on? Tell them why you choose to spend your precious time reading their writing!

b) What about the characters? Does your writer have a strong grasp on keeping these characters true to their original interpretations? Are they exploring facets of their characters that you’ve never seen done before in other fanfiction? Is there a particular character that gives you the warm fuzzies, especially because of the way they are written? Is there someone you really don’t like? Why?

c) Be relevant. Leaving a comment like “PIES. I LOVE PIES” when there is a brief mention of a pie in the story doesn’t tell writers very much, unless you explain why this particular item is of note to you. Otherwise, this is not unlike going to your friend’s choir recital. Maybe she sings something from “The Lion King,” and your response is, “I like warthogs.” It’s a pretty strange comment that doesn’t speak to her performance. Let’s be a bit more cognizant of how your thoughts can come across relevantly.

Did you like the way they incorporated pies into the piece? Did you find it coincidental that they added pies because you just made one? Instead, you could say something like “I found it really interesting that you had [character name] go with pies because I was just grocery shopping and decided to buy a pie, even though I don’t really have a sweet tooth. It’s pretty impressive, though, for [character name] because pie dough can be really tough to make! I’m impressed he figured it out!”

d) How are you feeling about the progression of the story? The plot? The small details that writers add to make it more interesting? Do you have any thoughts about what might happen next? Would you be particularly excited about a certain event taking place? Perhaps you have a strong opinion on a character’s actions or choices?

e) How does this writer’s work affect you emotionally? Has there ever been a time when you were feeling upset or overwhelmed? Maybe you picked up a story from this writer, and you felt better. For me, knowing that my work can help give someone an escape or a place of respite from the real world is absolutely astonishing. Communicate this with your favorite writers. Trust me — they will be glad to know that they have helped you.

4. Be thoughtful and kind. This should be obvious, but sometimes it’s not.

While I think writers should be open and receptive to constructive criticism, I also think readers should be sensitive and mindful when giving it. If you are interested in offering criticism, it’s generally good practice to ask if the writer is receptive to it first. I welcome thoughtful criticism, but others may not. Criticism, no matter how fair or unfair, can be absolutely devastating to writers who are not ready for it. Harsh criticism can even break someone’s spirit.

Writers are artists who wish to share their craft with the world for you to enjoy. In doing so, voluntarily or not, they offer their work up to critics — but that doesn’t mean they are necessarily wanting to have their writing picked apart, concept by concept, word by word.

Here are some considerations if you wish to provide constructive criticism:

a) What is your intention? Would providing critical feedback be constructive and useful to the writer? Remember that criticism is meant to help writers become better writers —otherwise, it wouldn’t be constructive. Instead, your comment would be considered malicious, spiteful, or just plain spam. I think it’s vital that you assess this before providing criticism.

b) Is your criticism reasonable?

If you notice some characterization or detail about something canon-specific that is not correct in chapter 1 and the writer is on the 47th chapter, are you expecting them to go back and edit all 47 chapters? This is not a reasonable expectation, and mentioning something like this, correct as you may be, is not helpful and could potentially be very discouraging.

c) Is your criticism well-founded? I understand this is highly subjective, but I’ve received some harsh and nonconstructive criticisms before that don’t have any basis. Either, the commenter completely misinterpreted my meaning without giving me a benefit of the doubt that my intentions were good or they don’t realize I actually addressed their point in future chapters or they were just incorrect in their research. Please make sure that before you submit your constructive criticism, your logic is sound to the best of your ability and that you’ve considered the writer’s point-of-view.

d) Say something nice, please. I don’t think it’s good etiquette to have your first interaction be negative. Providing constructive criticism implies that you care enough about the content and writer to help them improve — if not, hit the back button and move on with your day. If so, then that means there must be something redeeming about the writing that makes you wish to be a part of its success. Show that. Otherwise, your constructive criticism may not come off as constructive at all — instead, it could be interpreted as unkind, and if you really do have best intentions at heart, then being kind is a minimum requirement for interactions.

Talk about what you like about a writer’s work first and even explain why you’re providing criticism. Start with something like: “Hi! I absolutely love that you’re writing for this fandom. I think you write [character name] very well, better than most interpretations I’ve come across! If I may, I’d like to discuss your most recent portrayal of [character name]. I see where you were coming from, but I think he may have been a little too forward because [insert reasons]. What was your thought process behind this? Other that particular scene, I’ve been very pleased with your portrayal! ”

Really, take a page out of Thumper’s book: If you can’t say something nice, don’t say nothing at all.

Introduction | Part 1: What is this Relationship? | Part 2: Creating Motivation and Appreciation for Readers | Part 3: A Day in the Life of… | Part 4: Creating Motivation and Appreciation for Writers: Perspectives | Part 5: Creating Motivation and Appreciation for Writers: Implementation | Part 6: How to Write the Best Feedback |  Part 7: Where Does This Leave Us?

The relationship between readers and writers online is an interesting one.  It’s a divergence from the traditional relationship of published authors and their consumers.  But the overall exchange is the same: The writers write, and the readers read.

To understand the relationship between readers and writers, I think it’s important to explore their motivations. 

Why is it that writers write?

I have been writing since before I could remember.  One of my first creations was a picture book, a knock-off of “The Ugly Duckling.”  My mom keeps the original signed copy in my memory box.

In third grade, everyone wrote and illustrated a book.  Mine, a riveting (and ironic) tale of a dinosaur who did not enjoy reading, was selected by the principal of the school and sent to the regional competition.  I didn’t win anything, but I was pretty pleased with myself.

My motivation for writing is simply because I enjoy it.  I like making people happy.  I wish to tell a story that I’ve always wanted to read.  Writing is my craft.  I find it soothing, and I spend many a late night furiously typing to put my words on a page.

I imagine most writers who post their work online feel much the same.

Writing is an art in which there is a constant search for improvement.  We want to become better writers, and we have the opportunity to do so, day by day, as we continue to weave these stories.

Why is it that readers read?

English is not my first language.  Even though I grew up in the US, English was not spoken at home.  My parents sent me to multiple ESL programs, hoping I would finally begin to embrace the language of my country.

Admittedly, I struggled with English.  Homework was awful.  The English alphabet is a mess, and conjugations are terribly inconsistent.  To this day, I still wonder how you can have a word like “lead” that can be pronounced differently and mean both “to guide physically” and “a heavy, comparatively soft, malleable, bluish-gray metal.”

I found my solace in books.  Picture books, of course, at first, and then I moved onto more challenging chaptered selections.

I love books.  There’s this Japanese word, tsudoku, which means to acquire reading materials but letting them pile up in one's home without reading them. That’s me.  I collect books, both physical copies and e-books, with the intention of reading them, but, alas, time is my limiting factor.

Nevertheless, I read because I enjoy it.  I like being transported to a world beyond my own, made aware of a struggle beyond my own.  I fall in love with characters, their adventures and destinies.  I revel in their joy and sympathize in their sorrows.  I make predictions and shame them when I think they make poor decisions. 

Reading has brought me wonders, nurturing my imagination and providing an escape from the mundane tasks of daily life.  I think many readers may feel the same.

All in all, it seems that writing and reading bring joy for those who choose to partake.

This means that there is a vital relationship here between readers and writers.  Writers need readers to enjoy their works, to experience their stories.  Readers need writers to share their adventures, to give them a worthwhile tale.

Let’s talk about currency for a moment.  Currency is a medium of exchange for goods and services.  For the sake of this essay, I’m not referring to the specific definition of currency, which is money accepted in a specific area of circulation — I’m using it in a broader sense of trade.

There are different types of currency among people.  Beyond the obvious one that is money, there are plenty of other currencies: gratitude, time, affection, approval, goods, services, art, etc.  

Traditionally, writers publish books, and for the enjoyment of their work, readers will render the funds necessary to purchase books.  It is a simple exchange.

But when writers post their works online, fanfiction or original, for public enjoyment, they don’t expect money as a form of currency.  They contribute to the online community their writing free of charge.  They do this for a number of reasons, personal or otherwise, and put their works out there for readers to appreciate.

If money is not involved, what is the currency here?

Uniquely enough, the readers choose the currency.  The one that most prominently comes to my mind is gratitude, which can be expressed in a number of different ways, whether that be leaving a comment, writing a review, providing kudos or likes, sharing or reblogging with others, adding to bookmarks or favorites, etc.

Most readers, I presume, choose not to contribute for a variety of reasons.

It’s an interesting dynamic — if you step into a bookstore and walk off with the newest addition to your favorite series, that would be called theft.  If you read someone’s work online and do nothing, it’s not theft because the writer rendered their talents free of charge.

Still, does it feel quite right to partake in the artistic efforts of someone without offering some form of compensation, however minor?

It’s an honest question.

This point may seem a little biased toward writers, but that is because writers have already paid their currency.  By virtue of sharing their craft online, they’ve already spent the time, effort, and emotional vulnerability to produce a work of art.  With that said, I do think there are actions that writers can take to better welcome currency, to make readers feel more comfortable with sharing their thoughts.

We operate in a community.  As with any other social group with common ground, the online fiction community can only flourish when its members contribute.  Writers contribute by sharing their work, thereby creating a product, rendering their craft for anyone who wishes to partake.  Readers contribute by giving their choice of currency.  Appreciation and feedback are among the most common, perhaps most appropriate.

In essence, readers and writers do not benefit without one another.

Writers will post their writing online because they want feedback.  If I didn’t want your thoughts on my work, I wouldn’t make it public — I have pieces I will probably never publish because I’m not ready to share them with the world.

Readers will read because they want a story, content that can sweep them off their feet and make them feel. If I enjoy your writing, you can bet I will do whatever I can to ensure you feel appreciated and motivated to craft more.

There seems to be a very straightforward dynamic here, a mutually beneficial relationship that can be improved upon.

I strive for a world in which writers feel the gratitude from their readers so that they may continue to write and enjoy the writing process.  I equally strive for a world in which readers are comfortable sharing their thoughts and feedback with writers so they may fuel the engine that produces these creative works.

Communities are made better, not by the actions of one, but by the efforts of many.  

You may be a writer, a reader, or little or a lot both — but whatever you are, you are a vital part of this community.

How do you choose to contribute?

If you wish to be a coming official, then skills of listening so as to and providing effectual feedback rutty come naturally toward she. This is universal the more important if you are party closely related to improving the organisation's performance. A label of times it has been seen that employees fear the performance reviews suitable for their managers.

While the employees wish into know how me are occupation ex inside they fear their reviews just for the divagate reason of being criticised passage the wrong manner.

Reassure how it would aid the employee thus well as the organisation it are with, grow for the better. <\p>

Last but not the least, remember the words, €could we' whilst providing birdies. This phrase focuses occurring careful developing of actual solutions that address the scatter at hand.

You don't need to make decisions skillfully and efficiently justiciable to materialize for john doe. You covet toward have certain building blocks that should be on place to brace a person's tempering to make these decisions.<\p>
