Random Ramblings

Apparently, my chosen way to celebrate finally being on summer break is to spend way too much time reading Big Bang stories. I am in total awe of everyone who takes on the challenge of writing such a long story since I have no ability to write anything creative. This has made me think a lot about what kind of comments authors really want to receive about their stories.
( What is the reader's part in the writing process? )

I guess I am reacting to the vast difference in stories since I have read so many this week. If I spent as much time as these authors have writing their stories then I would think that they were committed enough to writing that they really wanted to get better. But I don't know if it is the job of the average reader to jump into that process.
