Re: Fanfiction Appreciation Day

I can't follow your link but there's nothing entitled about wanting more feedback on your work. "Entitled" seems to be one of the buzzy callout words these days and it's annoying AF.

(da)
There's a big difference between wanting feedback and (using their own example) saying 50 comments and 300 Kudos are not enough and how dare other people to not show their appreciation too!1!!!

Re: Fanfiction Appreciation Day

Wait, 50 comments and 300 kudos aren't enough? I'm happy if I have 10 kudos and/or one comment on a fic.

OP
Yeah, she's gotten called out on that. She keeps saying that she picked a popular fic for the example (I don't know why). It really feels like she is utterly clueless about how small the feedback really is for small fandoms/pairings/etc. Which makes me side-eye this day because it's not going to help authors like you - it's just going to give the BNFs more praise.

Re: Fanfiction Appreciation Day

Yes, because 4k hits and that may mean 700 readers (their own numbers, again) so that means there's 400 that were so ungrateful they didn't even leave kudos!

Re: Fanfiction Appreciation Day

[philstar22]

That's ridiculous. Hits have nothing to do with how many people actually read. Someone may have clicked and then backbuttoned. Also sometimes I read things many times. And also you can't give kudos for the same fic more than once, so if there are multiple chapters of course there will be more hits than Kudos.

Re: Fanfiction Appreciation Day

[(Anonymous)]

To be fair, at least they didn't assume all hits are from readers, but their imaginary estimated number of readers is still baseless and doesn't take into account all the factors you mentioned (and others, like not having time to read the full story/chapter and coming back another day, which means another hit from the same reader, etc.).

There may be invisible readers that never even send kudos, sure, but if I were them I would focus on all the response they do get instead.

Re: Fanfiction Appreciation Day

[(Anonymous)]

And those who don't kudos are likely more than made up for by those of us who don't have accounts and can't ever remember if we kudosed the last time so we do it again.

OP

See, I agree with your sentiment. Most of the posts she's reblogged come across as more informative - "We always love comments - don't be scared!" "There's nothing wrong with writers wanting feedback." etc.

And initially this one seemed fine. But, now that I've looked at a bunch of her comments on the subject and the fact that she's a BNF who gets tons of traffic and recs and the fact that she said it was ungrateful to read something you like and not respond in some manner - it's starting to feel a little entitled to me.

I could be convinced I'm wrong though. I've never really thought of anyone as entitled before.
