When I can find actual contact info, yes, I do. Otherwise, I'll support them by buying their books, recommending them to others and with positive reviews that other readers see even if the authors themselves don't. And you know what? I do this even though 1) all of those things take more effort than leaving a review on AO3 or FFnet or any number of online archives with built-in reviews that go directly to the author and 2) there's only a slim chance that the author will ever read my message.

But for fanfiction, where there is no product to buy? I leave a review. The reasons why I do so are exactly the same: Because I like their work and want to encourage them to write more. I also know that with fanfiction, my message is far more likely to reach the author, and there's a good chance the fanfic author is even more appreciative that I took the time to do this. So why wouldn't I review? Seems silly not to.
