Getting people involved in the stories you’re telling can also be the difference between having one time readers and having fans that stick with you throughout your career.
Ahh, like the success with the webcomic Homestuck? You may be on to something there. Not that I ever read that one, but apparently it had millions of fans.
While vocal fans put many of their thoughts on the internet, I wonder if there might not still be a ~90% majority that really just want to enjoy the product without caring to give any input at all? Kind of like a YouTube video with less than 10% giving it a thumb up, and much fewer than that leaving a comment. I imagine that is where the real money is, or corporations could not be run on that business model. But not everything is about money, so it sure is nice that we have these alternatives!
Yes, I have had this thought. But maybe the question here is, how do I find and support a community of RABID fans who will be like -- you've got to read this thing.

Interactivity might be the way.
