AUTHOR'S NOTE
Hey guys! I've got a bit of a rant here, so please bare with me.
Recently, I've noticed that my stories get a lot of hits, favorites and alerts... However, my reviews are gone to ZERO. I just wanted some answers as to why that is. I don't know what to think of these mixed signals: Am I a good writer, but not so good for people to comment on my work? Or am I just flat out horrible and the views, hits and favorites just out of pity or something?
I don't mean to be a *female dog* about this, but writing is something I'm extremely anal about. (Pardon my language, please)
I'm not asking for much here... I'm okay with just one or two reviews per chapter; all I want is at least some response of any kind. Criticism, like, dislike... Anything!
I love being a part of the iCarly FanFiction team, and every day when I get home from school (well, technically after work since it takes place after school), I can't wait to check my mail and see if I have any alerts for stories that I have to read the next chapter of or see if anyone reviewed on my own stories. I get extremely let down when I don't see even one review alert in my mailbox in the time I update. And, you all know (I know you read it), that I'm away due to school, community involvement and my employment... But at least one review would make my day, and possibly encourage me to write more and update faster.
I can write while I am at my break at work, or during lunch hours at school; but there's no motive to. That's what the problem is - writing requires a motive. At first, I wrote because I loved iCarly (Don't get me wrong, I still LOVE it!). Now that I started posting, you guys became a part of that. And writing without your response doesn't give me a motive to write anymore.
That's all I'm saying: I just need a reason to write. Is that so much to ask for?
I apologize if you had to read this twice, or even see it, because it's posted on both my stories. I do hope to get a response from you in some way or another. Please do understand where I'm comind from. I don't mean to be rude about this, I'm just a dissapointed seventeen year old who wants to express her imagination with everyone but is just not getting a chance to.
Thanks for reading, and I love you all,

p.s.: Until further notice; due to my mood of sadness towards this, I wanted to inform you that my stories will be going on hiatus. I didn't call this - and I'm not blaming anyone for it whatsoever. Just wanted you to know...
