people do nice things for them

That's your opinion on fanfic, I guess. I think of it the other way around--we're nice for reading it, and we're super nice to review it. Most people are not super nice.

I find that to be a pretty... self-centered view. While authors certainly like hits and feedback, you are not doing them a favor. They are the ones providing you with free entertainment. Maybe if they asked you to read a fic for feedback, you'd be doing them a favor, but if you found their fic for a fandom you like and are reading it for fun, you are NOT doing THEM a favor.

I'm not saying you have to leave reviews. But I agree with ayrt - it is polite, even if you're just going to say "Thanks for writing."

Eh, idk if it's polite since they didn't exactly write it for you. I mean, was it nice of them to post it? Sure - but not to the extent that you're rude if you don't comment.

Well... if someone holds open a door for someone else and you also go through that door and benefit by having it open, do you say thank you? I would, even if it wasn't originally being held open for me.

[(Anonymous)]

Posting fic on the internet /= real life courtesies such as holding doors open.

[(Anonymous)]

Most people don't, and honestly there's nothing saying you should or that you're being rude if you don't.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh. I always say thank you to people holding open the door for me. I didn't realize others thought it was okay not to because it seems... well actually it does seem kinda rude.

[(Anonymous)]

NAYRT, and yes, I always say thank you to people holding doors. It costs you nothing, and yes, it is rude to not even acknowledge it.

No, there's no law against being rude, and some people are completely okay with it. But I'll say thank you.

What if they're not good at expressing themselves or don't know what to say? An automatic 'Thank you' to a stranger holding a door open is a lot easier than expressing your opinions about a work of fiction. Sure, you could just say 'thanks for writing' but if you feel uncomfortable with commenting in the first place you're probably going to worry that that's not enough. I don't like the idea that the only reason people don't comment is because they're lazy or rude.

If you didn't want to read it, and you read it out of a sense of obligation, that would be nice. If you read fanfic because you want to read it, then you're not being nice - you're doing what you want to do. Leaving a review is nice.
