The title says it all. I'm curious what authors do. I personally don't favorite my story chapters but if there are others who do it, I might do it as well.

Its al lcool and stuff but as it goes i no think people who actually do dat will come and say "yah, i like ma stuff to get one more like cuz its good".

But we think of it - its also a lil way to promote ur writings even a bit so its not really dat bad i guess.

U no liking ur own post or pfp after all.

Its like buying ur own published book or an album. Okayish self support.

I gotta admit I'm tempted to at times, especially if it helps algorithm (does it do so here?), but I don't for the sake of keeping the number of votes "clean" so to speak. To at least not artificially pump it up and have a more accurate assessment of reader opinion too.

I'm gonna be that one guy and say, yes I do. I'm not gonna stand on a moral high ground and mind about it. It's not like you're sacrificing every bit of integrity you have by patting yourself a lil on the back.

It's okay either way. Just like Ruriha said, it's kind of like an ego boost or just a "Good job me!".

It's just awkward if you make it a point to do it every time. Luckily readers can't see it, unlike facebook where every single person can see you're liking every single post you make. Believe me, small stuff like that can make people who see it raise their eyebrows - but just "why?" and nothing more.

My favorite chapter is not writing a chapter.


Jk. I think it was about writing a chapter in a novel i never post here and its about how my MC is trying to impress a girl he liked, they go to an amusement park, watched a hero show to which both had the same taste and ended up kissing. I was so proud of my work that i pumped up about 5 chapters a day for a week before procrastinating once more. I really like for my MCs to be happy to which does the opposite to my RL version of myself.

I ❤️ the first ten chapters because I'm bored, now, I leave it to the readers if they'll ❤️ my chapter. It's not bad, you're supporting your own series, and for me it's not shameless........ I'm outta here ???

I do not either, but it's not for some fancy ’moral’ reason and more because I'm a stubborn prick. I decided when I started that I won't do it and no matter what happens, I won't!

Umu!

As a side note, while it's true that I lost a lot of things for this side of me, there are always some good parts even in generally negative traits.

As an example, I used to drink and eat a lot of unhealthy stuff, but for no particular reason other than one day thinking ’oh, I haven't had anything unhealthy this whole week... Let's brag about this to all my friends and see how much I can keep up with it’... That has been three years ago and the more time passes the more things I add to my ’unhealthy’ list despite still carving for them.

Umu.
