There’s such a weird attitude toward fanfic authors these days. “This author has written thousands of words about my very favorite characters doing things that I’d love to see them do in canon and made the story available to me for free. The author should consider herself lucky that I deign to run my precious eyes over her story, and she’d certainly better not expect me to say I like it!”

What. The. Fuck.

I don’t know why so many readers act like they’re doing authors this incredible favor by reading their fanfic. When I read a story, I’m grateful that someone took the time and effort to write and post it. They did me a solid, not the other way around.

I've seen this both ways, though. There are some writers out there these days who think that just because they took the time to scribble a fic, including ones of only 500 or so words, that everyone should read it, like it, comment on it, and reblog/rec it to all their followers.

Ummmm..... no?

If the summary doesn't sound interesting, people won't read it. If they do read it, they may not like it. Even if they like it, they may not comment or respond. And even if they like it and tell you that they do, this does not mean that they need to tell everyone they've ever met that they liked a thing you wrote. As a writer, especially in some small/dead fandoms, I'm grateful when people simply read my work, because no one has to do so. Writers who demand responses are just as ridiculous as the readers you've described above.
