I am suffering from major insomnia/stress right now so writing comments, is hard compared to the umber of stories I want to read, and the amount of things I want to do.
I also do a lot of reading on the train, and typing on an phone can be seriously dodgy/ frustrating, or I'll have it typed out and lose it. :( so I kudos first to show I had appreciation of the story (and I only kudos stories I liked, maybe not unreservedly but at least a little) and Ill comment if I have the energy / something I explicitly want to say. Most of my comments tend to be short though.
I feel like I leave comments in about a 1:7 ratio to kudos.
Kudos actually got me reading a lot of fic again, which I like. I also have started leaving a lot more comments than before - partly because Im reading a lot again and...
It helped take away that element of stress, that I can just hit the button, that I can just leave something short, that I don't have to leave 50 tabs open, then have firefox crash. because copy pasting comments really depresses me if I have to resort to that, which puts me in a better mood - and when I'm in a better mood, I'm more likely to want to articulate my thoughts and want to leave a comment.
