Feedback system for stories

Post by Aleister »

I am still thinking about implementing some sort of feedback system for the stories on the site. Right now I am trying to figure out which features would be best.

How about a simple system where viewers can leave comments on the authors individual page?

It could perhaps be done to each individual story page, but it would be a lot more involved, and having them on the authors page would be much more easily accessible - they could just mention the story they are talking about - or talk about the works in general.

Or would a 'hit counter' for the stories be better? I think comments would be more interesting, but someone had mentioned being able to get statistics.

Which sounds better?

Comments. Much more helpful than just a hit counter.

Comments are more helpful, but most people won't take time to leave them. A hundred people may read your story and you wouldn't know it if they didn't bother to comment.

That's why I like the 1 to 10 scale idea. Its quick and easy enough that people might be willing to use it. Of course, this is just a wish - I certainly understand if it is too complicated to create.
