I'm sure I'm not the only writer who checks recent stories obsessively for new comments, But I'm sure that most authors won't looking for new comments on stories posted years ago. As a reader, I'm discouraged from posting comments on these much-loved classics, because I don't think they will ever reach the author.
If only we had a way for those authors who are forum members to be notified of new comments, I feel sure that authors would be encouraged to know that their old stories are still being read and cherished by their fans. And, who knows, maybe they might feel motivated to return to write another story?
Soundly true.
