Also, I can get 16 comments for a 100 word drabble. I get over 200 hits and downloads of a vid and hardly any comments. It's slightly disconcerting and I wonder if this is just the plight of vidders, or are my vids needing a lot of improvement. The plight, oh my...that sounds whiny! I don't mean it that way. :P
No, I totally get it. Vidders and artists put s much effort into their work as writers, often more, and yet they barely get commented on. It's a pet peeve of mine. I think it has something to do with the fact that you glance at a graphic, and it takes just a few minutes to watch a vid, but you have to make an effort to read a fic. It's easier to dismiss things like vids and art because you tend to just glance at them.
