Well, I dunno if I should leave a down-n-dirty comment here or give a full response. But considering this is the last one before the night, I shall submit my entry with effort (of course me doing this in backwards style, yeah that's more for fun though :p - and my style):
- I shall generalize and say the @bananafish community (though I often see more comments from @calluna, mój Ukochany, and @brisby, with a side of @michaias when he's not sick) gives me the most feedback on my stuff. While some feedback are not seen here on the blockchain, they communicate any stresses or feedback through Discord (if they haven't done it on Steemit). To go on further, their feedback is very crucial as that helps me try to strive to new areas I haven't covered or thought of before. Equally so, they help point out any silly mistakes I make and, at the same time, allow me to explain stuff more. Of which future stories and posts will include what I explained, so as to avoid doing the same mistake again or making sure the reader understands the story to the point where I need them to understand it at. Also they're probably the nicest people when it comes to feedback, never justifying it and knowing that it is them suggesting it and that all feedback will be tainted with a bias of some sort. Even then, it's still useful to utilize and see how I can work out my works and avoid my biases conflicting badly with theirs.
- Whom I give feedback -
- I tend to give feedback, in the general, to any post upvoted by @curie. However, as I indicated above, I also mainly like to focus my serious feedback (and sometimes lil' fun things with it) to the @bananafish community. Why so? It's the first (and probably most important) community that made me seriously commit to this Steemit Biz. Now staying here for them (and the @curie community), I feel like I have to pay a symbolic debt back to them of which I have barely paid off yet. Also this community constantly welcomes, shelters and helps to grow others, so this is right up my alley to help others become more than whence they came in through those doors. So I have no reason to slack off on duty and be there to provide any assistance when I can!~
- Feedback -
- Feedback that I wish for is the long-styled essays that are to the point, deconstruct things, suggest tacit improvements and never seek to apologize for their feedback. I long-styled essays as they tend to cover everything the post had to offer and leaves no room for curiosity for what they think of the other parts. Yes I know these styled comments are longer and can be obscure as all hell if done incorrectly, yet a thing this platform needs badly. For deconstruction, I don't mean that Derrida thing, but the picking apart of a thing and seeing every core-component of a piece. Tacit improvements, or suggesting improvements without causing offence, is very much needed in a closed environment like this. Equally so, it can help authors of all stripes become better and develop a backbone ("develop a spine" is the colloquial slang for "tough skin" or accepting criticism in my area). For the user-apologia exampli gratia: sorry to say X but Y. That stuff is really annoying because they more than likely don't feel passionate about their criticism and may even not know what they are responding. If they are firm and passionate about it, then it will help that someone who needs it - despite giving a bad bruise. Because then they avoid worse pains and actually know why people do A instead of B, or learn how to do B better so they don't have to lean on A. (Nota bene that these words are variables for basically anything input-table and are mere examples that work as logic parameters.)
Spoken as a worthy minister of I-forgot-what-it-was would speak. I am sorry, but I have to say that I usually go with the short and cryptic (or not) feedback (or not). There are people who are much more committed than I am. And it shows.
Whatever happens here, I have decided to make my best efforts to establish more connections between the @bananafish and @steemitbloggers. People with overlapping interests and styles even... Though there may be some personal reasons some of you stray from each other, I don't know. I hope it's not that. I hope it's just a matter of chance engagement... That is about to happen.
I shall just summon @quillfire here and see what happens in a few hours.
Stepping back...quietly...
