More comments than ever for the Rikkai doujinshi post yesterday because I asked for it. I had to ask for it! 1 in 3 viewings resulted in a comment. XD; sharpie~ I have an idea! Every month, throw people off devil_mode if they haven't commented even once during that period. And ban them from joining again. It'll give me lots of satisfaction. \XD/ (see discussion in comments!)

A quick word count revealed that I've written 64k words so far this year. In the beginning of 2008 I was aiming to reach 100k this year, like I did in 2007, but it looks like I won't reach the target. Though, I'm not too disappointed with the word count because I wrote quite a few stories I like. :3

eolo pointed out that yesterday's "writer's block" was:

Hemingway was once challenged to write a story in only six words. His response? “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” He is believed to have called it his greatest literary work ever. Can you write a story in six words?

All I can think of is, in Niou-hedgehog's style: They had a lot of sex.

Comment with your six-word story!

I'll read this when I don't have childen in the room

Those are the sorts of comments I actually wouldn't mind, because it does show whomever said it had some sort of interest in reading it, if not right away. Even "Urgh this book is horrible" comments are fine with me. Not to say "EVERYONE MUST COMMENT ON EVERY SINGLE POST" or anything, but it's nice to know the work is appreciated by at least some people, regardless of whether they happened to like that particular doujinshi or not.

Exactly. It's not our drawing/story they're commenting on, anyway! I wouldn't take offense if somebody didn't like the art.

Yep yep. And those sort of comments give me a good idea of things people would like to see more of in the future, as well (like when I'm sitting here going "I want to scan things but idk what to scan D:")
