Why is wanting attention so awful, really? And this coming from someone who posts fics anon whenever possible.

[(Anonymous)]

Wanting attention in and of itself isn't so awful. Holding fics hostage to get reviews? Bad. Pisses off the readers and gets the writer the exact opposite of what they want.

[(Anonymous)]

Except.. how do the readers know if there's a quota, or the author's just busy?

That's the beauty of not publicly announcing said quota. O:)

[(Anonymous)]

If they're repeatedly dropping fics and leaving them uncompleted people will notice, if not the pattern to connect to review quota-ing then the fact that they're a serial WIP abandoner and not bother with them so they'll get fewer reviews anyway.

[(Anonymous)]

This. If someone has a review quota to meet before they'll update I find they're much more likely to abandon the fic.

They'll raise the expected quota with the fics popularity, then abandon it in a snit when the people who can't think of much else to say than "I liked it" get tired of reviewing every single chapter, or reviewers just don't have much to say if a chapter or two is slow or focuses on a character they aren't interested in.

[(Anonymous)]

Because it's pathetic.

[(Anonymous)]

nayrt, and I don't agree with the "pathetic" assessment, but believe it or not, yeah, this is exactly what I do with my fics. Maybe I'm the odd one out, but I don't write them for myself, I write them because I want to share them with people. I would never hold chapters hostage for reviews-- I mean, there's a huge contingent of readers that simply don't review, and that's fine. I'm writing for them too.

da

That's what I do. It's also why I leave my older fic and art up even though I might not like it that much anymore - because there might still be people who will see it and enjoy it even though I personally don't think it's that good.
