*We do note that some writers are not commenting on the work of others. Engagement is regarded highly. We encourage all writers to support others. We recognize the writers that do engage. (See The Ink Well community rules on our home page.) And we are aware of writers who don't. This becomes part of our evaluation/reward algorithm.
