So, people like my story! Yay!
Though, my half-baked theory that the more plot = the less comments seems... pretty correct, actually. Hahaha...haaah... <-- somewhat exhausted laughter because I heart feedback but omg writing porn is GRUELLING.
ETA: okay, writing the above makes me SO PARANOID because it's this THING again where if you talk about what it's like to receive feedback then you are being precious. And yet that site of engagement is such a complex one that I wish wish WISH fandom as a whole was more open to meta'ing and being frank about it (I know, I have said this before, but then I get - hah - paranoid, and lose my nerve and delete after all). But I am trying to be brave, and not think about being silently judged. CAN WE PLEASE, AS A COMMUNITY, JUST TALK ABOUT IT?
Ahem.
Anyway. Speaking of writing stuff, I am going to re-do the Nerdy PSA into a v.2, seeing as lots of people are still using it and I think I could tidy it up a bit and integrate a bunch of stuff left in the comments. If you have anything to add/weigh in on wrt accessibility and casual coding that isn't covered there, drop me a comment/PM/pigeon?
omg productivity!

I think the amount of commenting depends on the kind of writing and sometimes the length. For example, after a really smutastic piece, the best I might be able to manage is "Wow," or "Yeah.". In those cases, my heart is in the right place but it's usually redirected bloodflow away from brains and motor function so it's a bit of a challenge. Sometimes I think I should just wait and come back to it with the brain working.
In general, after a longer piece, even if I'm really enthusiastic about it, the task of going through and pointing out what I like seems daunting, and I'm lazy, and....
In the case of Underwood specifically, your summary said something like "desktop porn" which I mistakenly interpreted to mean that it was something appropriate to read at my desk. It most certainly was not. But once I realized that I had devote considerable energy to looking busy and getting that crazy grin off my face, and I may have neglected my readerly duty to comment. I loved it!
But I hear what you're saying about talking about feedback and talking about this thing we do. I'm relatively new to this, and I can only infer the meaning of "meta" from the few I've read, but I absolutely DO want to talk about it.
Um. You start.
*grins*
Thanks for this. I just peeked at the Nerdy PSA and it's great. I'm inexperienced enough that anything you do to update will be welcome news to me and will save lots of time and hair-pulling next time I decide to post.

I've talked a bit about it all in the comments here, and got a lot more of my thoughts into order... perhaps I'll get the guts to make a proper post sometime soon.
Thanks for weighing in :)
