da but i never know if i should stick around to reply or otherwise :( i feel like i'm going to annoy the author if i keep replying to them so i... don't :(
i'm pretty much the same. i usually find the enthusiasm great though. i usually ask the commenter questions in hopes of keeping them around, but i know how awkward it is when there's no one on the other end :(
i like comments where someone talks about a certain aspect of my writing that they really like, or points out certain lines/scenes that worked well and WHY they worked well.
my favorite comment was when someone described my writing style as "hypnotic." they said that it made them feel completely submerged and in a zen-like sort of trance... i actually tried really hard to achieve that affect in the story they commented on, so it was so great to hear that it got across. :3
