What a stupid way of looking at it. There are two main reasons for replying to comments:

1. To be polite. Seriously, not replying is bad manners. I personally try to reply to all of them and if I leave a comment for someone and don't get a reply in return, I'm very unlikely to leave another one because I think the author is unfriendly and rude.

2. To discuss. Isn't this the whole point of fandom anyway? Finding people who share your interests and squeeing over them together? Fandom isn't fun if you aren't sharing it with others! Also, I love reading comments and comment threads. An author who doesn't reply shuts that down very quickly.

That's your opinion. Fandom has no rules. Quit being so rigid. No one needs your approval and no one asked for it.

Maybe that's what most people think, but it's not what everyone wants. I write for what is now a smaller fandom, and still very much enjoy writing fic for it, and talking to the people kind enough to leave comments... but I get extremely anxious about new canon coming down the pike that I want nothing to do with. People say I don't have to stop writing then, but I feel like I can't NOT... because even if I choose to ignore it, the people reading my work aren't all going to be ignoring it, and certainly the people writing fic won't be, so I'll have to just write for myself offline if I truly want to stay in my little bubble.
