silwritersguild | Fandom Voices: Comments & Feedback

A blue banner titled Fandom Voices: Comments & feedback. Also shown on the banner are various features to like and share fanworks, including the Ao3 kudos button and the tumblr like and reblog buttons.

If you read, view, or create fanworks, you have likely thought about feedback. Creators often wonder how to encourage their readers and viewers to speak up, and worry over the silences when they don't, and readers and viewers often struggle to provide the feedback that they know is so wanted by those making the fanworks they love.

For the next few months, our Cultus Dispatches column will be tackling the tough topic of feedback by looking at it through various approaches. This month, we present the responses to our latest Fandom Voices project about comments and feedback. Fandom Voices is an occasional and short survey that gathers fan perspectives on topics relevant to the Tolkien fandom. This month's article explores some trends and takeaways from the responses, or you can check out the full response collection as well.

Also, Fandom Voices surveys never close! If you didn't get a chance to respond yet and want to, you can share your perspectives on feedback here. While we will not edit the article to include new responses, we will add your response to the collection.
