Thank you for your votes on my TKA stories "Meeting in the tenth server" and "Happy Birthday to you - Happy Birthday to me". Feel free to tell me your opinion regarding my stories. :)

@SleepingMudkip neither the fanfictions nor the novel will run away, just take your time. I am up to date with the novel, but it took me some time to reach that - though I have a lot of opportunities to read during the day, for example when I am on the train, I can read the next chapter on my phone.
            
            On a different fanfiction side I know someone, who is only complaining. She seemingly is only searching for bad fanfiction (one's that have a lot of mistakes) and than writes a, in my opinion, rude comment. 
            If she only wanted to help those authors, it wouldn't bother me, but since she seemingly is not interested in giving usedul/helpful advice...
            I don't understand such a behavior. 
            
            A paragraph is a unit of meaning. This unit can be only one setence long, but usually it's longer. Inside a paragraph can be mutiple line breaks.
            For example, my first paragraph was about TKA fanfictions and the novel. The next paragraph is about a reader on a different side that leaves mean comments. 
            Both paragraphs are a unit of meaning, both of them have their own "topic", thus they are seperated into two different paragraphs and not into one. 
            And than there are line breaks, which are used inside of a paragraph or when you write a dialogue. I used a lot of line breaks in this paragrapgh. 
            When I started to give an example for a paragraph I used a line break, the same goes for this sentence. The topic of this paragraph is still "paragraphs", but I used line breaks to make my paragraph more organized/easier to read.
            
            Maybe thing will be better after a little break. I don't have time for writing and posting lately, so maybe I will be more motivated when I finally have more time. (Taking a break can help a lot.)

Thank you for the links! Honestly, in the past 24 hours I’ve only been reading fanfics and trying to catch up on TKA (due to the fact of I’m only on chapter 1000 and something... I’m a semi-slow reader. Plus the only language I know is English...). Thank goodness for translators, I wouldn’t survive otherwise.
            
            Also, aren’t some comments just the funniest? I love reading comments too much, especially if they are funny. Hearing what people (dis)like is always fun too! Although, the complaining of people is probably the worst thing to read... If you complain that much about a story, why read it? Hearing people or reading what people have written, only complaining without constructive criticism irks me to no end. If you don’t like something, don’t read it and go read something else that you do like. That’s what I would say to them... That and learn to give some constructive feedback.
            
            On the issue of paragraphs, paragraphs are defined as having one or multiple sentences. This, however, changes when you use dialogue as you are meant to start a new line/paragraph for a new person speaking. At least that’s how I learnt. So I guess any length is right as long as it makes sense, has grammar, no run-along sentences and has good structure.
            
            I don’t actually have a smartphone so I can’t say much about them. However, from what I have seen (from using my friends’ phones) the layout and text sizes are often different on them, so that would probably be an issue. Then again, layouts and text sizes are different across all devices because of how different each device is. For example an average iPad/tablet’s screen is bigger than your average smartphone but is smaller than an average PC/laptop’s screen.
            
            Well I’m hoping that posting/sharing your stories becomes more fun for you in the future!
            
            (P.s. I do have a tumblr account, I only just made one though. So thanks!)

@SleepingMudkip You know, I love reading comments/reviews, even those that aren't written on my stories. It's fun to read what people like about the stories or disliked. Maybe it sounds strange, but I think those comment/reviews, even those on stories that aren't my own, are motivating. But it is horrible when you don't want to look at your comment/review section anymore, because people only want to complain about the paragraphs. (I do have "many" favos/kudos/clicks/whatever on my TKA stories, but those who liked it, don't say anything.)
            [On ao3 people have probably understood that I don't react to their paragraph complains so they stopped, here on wattpad I haven't received any comments, so I guess people here are fine with it, but on ff.net for example I have three reviews on my first TKA story (Meeting in the tenth server), which took me three months to finish, in which people only complain about the paragraphs. And that hurts and it still bothers me to no end. Especially since only the TKA fandom seems to be so special about it.]
            Just to clearify that: I have no problem with (rightful) constructive criticism, but I have a problem with people only complaining, because I do not forfill their personal preferences. (There is a differnce between writting a comment, in which you say what you like and dislike (constructive criticism), and just complaining.)
            
            Still, that's all not your problem, but I needed to get that out, because it still bothers me so much. And it does take the fun out of posting/sharing stories. All I want to do is contribute to the fandom and interact with it by sharing my stories.
            
            I wish you the best of luck your friends! (In case you have a tumblr account you can also find some TKA fans there, a lot of them post their fanfictions on ao3.)

Hey thanks for blowing up my notifications! 
          I'm being serious! 
          Things have been rather quiet lately for me, so it was good to see someone voting and commenting on my stuff!

Don't worry about it! I do that all the time... and I mean all the time!
            You made me laugh, a lot! So thank you!
