re: "you should write for you" dogma

I don't think that means that you can never want reviews or try to write something people will like.

IMO it comes down to not letting other people rules your writing, to the point where you're dependent on the approval of other people and cannot write something if you feel people won't like it.

not the OP but I agree. It's that that usually when a topic like authors who want to get reviews come up, they're frequently chastised for not having a pure enough motive for writing, i.e. writing because you love to write, or writing as some sort of fandom community service. There are some (really unreasonable, IMO) people out there who react negatively to any other reason for writing.

Ahhhh

Well in the context I get the hatred for it completely. It's not bad to want reviews and stuff.

Sort of like people who accuse singers of "selling out" a lot. Doing it for the art and love of it is a nice idea, but it won't put money on the table.

"it comes down to not letting other people rules your writing"

Pretty much this.

Write what you want to write for your own reasons, not because other people say you have to write (or not) this or that because of whatever reasons.
