What do writers look for in comments? I read a lot but I've only written a little. I'm working on writing more in-depth comments then "This is great! Can't wait to see where it goes!" but so far I'm really just setting word count goals and dragging it out until I meet them. What do writers want to read?

I love to see individual scenes, characters, etc pointed out. Another fun one is questions of any kind. About the plot, or even the intentions behind the writing. I think part of the fun in sharing fanfic is receiving different perspectives on your own creations. This definitely includes critique too. Of course it can be hard to formulate precise and helpful critique but that's often the only critical input a new writer has access to.
