JFC. How hard is it for some of the entitled authors in this thread to understand that most of us are both authors AND readers? We're not coming at this with no understanding whatsoever of what it's like to stand in a reader's shoes.

I am a prolific-ish author on AO3 in both big and small fandoms. I do not find it "positively nerve-wracking" to share my work with the public. I find it rewarding. If I didn't, I wouldn't post it. Oh, and I've got an anxiety disorder, too, so don't ASS-ume you speak for me as either an author or as a person with anxiety issues.

Also? I enjoyed writing that 5k, 10k, 20k, 100k story. It feels good when I write. Otherwise I wouldn't do it. I hope other people like my writing -- and, yes, if I never got a single comment or kudos, I'd probably stop. I'm there for the interaction. But I'm not writing solely to get attention. I could be doing other things I enjoyed more if that were the case.

Yes, I love comments. I especially love long, chatty comments. However, I also like kudos, and I'm not precisely bugged if someone leaves me kudos but doesn't comment. I sometimes don't comment on other people's fics if I have nothing to say about them. The kudos button means "I liked this." It is feedback. It is just as good as writing "Thank you for writing this" or "I liked this."

In short, as an author, I find tantrummy, bratty authors like you highly embarrassing, and I don't need you defending me.

SA: 1st paragraph should read "in an author's shoes," sorry.
