Tricks for attracting *Comments*...

Doesn't make the people that read here but aren't registered dull or trolls.

Didn't mean that, i also began by just reading without registering.

Tons of people *hate* registering for stuff, in an age where everybody and their mother is asking you to sign up for this site or that loyalty program. Its overwhelming and annoying.
True.

I think we'd definitely get some good, useful, encouraging, or or fun comments if they were publicly allowed.

I'm skeptic, but maybe you're right and i don't see much harm in it.
 
I recently published a chapter in which I (apparently) killed off two major story characters. I received a comment along the lines of "No, they can't possibly be dead!" That was very gratifying-- the reader felt such a connection to my writing that they felt compelled to comment.
