I do not know a single author who doesn't enjoy positive, sincere feedback, period. If they're posting their fic publicly, they want strangers on the internet to read it. If they allow comments, they want strangers on the internet to comment. Don't overthink this, yeah?


"Similarly, when I look at the comments on fic, it often seems like the author and a number of the commenters already know each other, and as much as I hear people complain about wanting more comments on their fic, it still feels like I’d be intruding."


Er... I think this is more about seeing the world through a social anxiety filter than actual reality, OP. Back when I wrote fic, I got to know people who commented regularly when I posted a new chapter. Not because we formed a snobby clique, but because they took the time and effort to communicate with me. If you're too scared to take that first step, then of course you're not going to be included. Nobody's keeping you out - you're choosing not to join in because your social anxiety is (incorrectly!) telling you that you're not welcome and that's a shame.
