Hey, @Flip-Flop. As an author with 'older' stories, I can tell you comments and likes/reactions for the story and the chapters are very much appreciated, as are story reviews and story recommendations. I will go so far as to say a chapter comment or story review on one of my 'older' stories can inspire me to begin writing when I am in a slump, and have so in the past. It's important to know readers care about and are engaged in any of my work they are reading. As well, all these things can stimulate new interest in a story for sure, and that's what we're here for. Cheers!
