As far as my introduction goes, the most engaging comments are from people who have something in common with me. When somebody picks a specific topic that I mention interest in, for example baking, and people talking about whether or not they do any cooking and baking I find that interesting. Finding out the familiarity between myself and other people is always interesting.
As far as story comments go, I really enjoy which specific pieces of my writing people enjoy. Although it's always nice to know that people like my stories, it's much more helpful to here criticism, which parts of my story doesn't make sense, doesn't include enough detail, rambles on for to long etc. I would much rather read more critical comments that help me improve my writing than praise. Don't get me wrong, praise is really nice to hear, as long as it's honest.
When commenting on other people's intro, I try to talk about which part of their into captures my interest, or which parts or the other people's lives I can relate too. When I comment on people's stories, I feel like I have been doing a good job since i have been leaving critiques as well as praise. I could be writing better comments if I reread some of the stories a second time. A reader will often catch something the second time that they missed on the first.
