With apologies to the ghost of Benjamin Zephaniah
Be nice to your authors this Christmas
Cos' on Lit, they just write for fun.
Some write threesomes, and some write mesomes,
And some about taking it up the bum.
Be nice to us writers this Christmas,
Don't skip on, read right to the end,
And after you've voted, be sure you have noted
Your views on the story, my friend.
I got lots of friends who are writers
And all of them crave just one thing,
To hear you enjoyed it, so comment below it,
Something nice, something sweet, anything!
Yeah, I got lots of friends who are authors,
They work and work through the night,
In order to please you, or perhaps to tease you,
So go share your thoughts on what they write.
So please leave a comment for bi_cathy
Say something nice to lovely HelenL
Write a sweet note for sweet PennyThompson
There's no better way to ring Areala-chan's bell.
Writers just love getting comments
They honestly want your praise
Be it short, sexy or simple,
A comment has us floating for days!
Many a , asking,
"So few comments: why's that, do you reckon?"
If people will spend hours on reading
Why not leave a comment, it just takes a second?"
I said, "I don't know, beats me.
I always comment after I've read.
But some maybe don't have a hand free
To comment, when reading in bed."
Yes be nice to your writers this Christmas:
After you have disposed of the tissues,
Return to the keys, let your feelings free,
And tell the writer your thoughts on the issues.
So give comments to authors this Christmas
But spare them the cut of the knife
Trolls take a hike, be on your bike,
Be constructive, and you'll have a friend for life!
Thanks everyone for all the lovely comments. Please do go check out and comment on the work of (the) other writers - and not just those I link to. Penny is on the money as usual - honestly, don't get too hung up on what to write in a comment. One of my favourites I've received just simply says "WOW"! Three letters, but it said a lot!
(That said, I did really appreciate those commenters below who replied in verse to this! Well played people, well played!)
Happy holidays everyone x
To Tomtrah and Minstrel and anyone else who feels like it's not your place to comment on a story you enjoyed:
Personally, I deeply appreciate and love comments that are detailed or clever or provide substantive feedback. But I ALSO appreciate and love the short little comments that just say things like "That was hot," or "That made me laugh," or "I can't wait for more!"
Writing is like magic! It's a magic spell that connects minds across time and space. It puts a reader into a writer's head for a moment, or into a shared hallucination of a world and characters that aren't real but feel real, sometimes realer than real.
Getting to see views and ratings and likes are great, I can glean a lot from those. But just a short little comment from another human mind, telling me that they liked something that my mind created? That's magic ☺️
Very cute. And you're right - I just got my first comment on my first story, and it was the best part of my day. Happy Holidays!

Be sure to also check out the work of Benjamin Zephaniah. He was a dub poet and professor of poetry. He passed away a while back, but his poetry lives on.
