The fics still were published on an archive, instead of a closed community. It's pretty obvious they're there to be read by whoever wants to and the fact there's a way to comment invites people to *gasp* comment.

The class was a bad idea, sure, but the stories weren't private and comments were welcome from the start.

When I signed up on AO3, I didn't sign up for students learning to write critiques. By being forced to read my kink fic by their prof.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes they were.

But they were published on a fanfic site, one that allows work to be categorized by the source material its based on. It's not bizarre to imagine that writers would find it strange that people with zero interest in the source would be reading fanfic for that source, and leaving critiques for it.

I don't read and crit fics in fandoms I don't know, do you?

People post all sorts of things online. Should people who post about knitting techniques be completely unsurprised and unaffected if painters came in and said "Hmm, that sweater's made all wrong." Should people who post recipies not wonder what's going on if a bunch of math students came in and started criticizing the way they're using measurements?

(ayrt)

I already said the class was a bad idea, so your point is...?

Oh, this is the old "only people in fandom can read fics!!!1!!!"
I'm not gonna waste my time again on that.

[(Anonymous)]

Here we go again, more people making arguments and then getting snotty with the people who answer them as though they're the ones going on about it. Protip, if you don't want a response, then don't keep leaving comments.

And on the same note, no that's not my point because that would be stupid and facetious. My point is that when you're posting something as specific as a fanfic for a specific fandom on a dedicated fic archive, then you sort of expect that the people who find that work is doing so because they're LOOKING for it, equally specifically. You're not posting it on the front page of Google for every single person who opens up their browser. So when someone who has no interest in the thing you write comes along and decides to tear it up, it's valid to think that's a pretty odd thing to do.

[(Anonymous)]

To be honest, I don't get that argument. One of the main things I've gleaned about Teen Wolf through fandom osmosis, for example, is that a good chunk of Sterek fandom got into the ship without having so much as seen an actual episode of the show, simply through reading the fic. This is the way I've been introduced to a number of my own favourite shows. Reading fic for fandoms or canons they're not fans of is something people do all the time.
