How Readers Affect LUANN
I've been asked if reader reactions to the stories in LUANN ever differ from my expectations. The simple answer is 'no' because I don't read the comments at GoComics. I do check in each day to gauge the interest as represented by the number of comments and I may look at the first few. But I rarely read beyond the first page. So I miss a lot of what's going on there. It's not that I'm not interested. It's that I don't want to spend more time than I already do on things that aren't useful in getting my work done and sent off. And I fear I may become too focused on the comments of a relatively small group of readers and start to pander to their opinions.
