Comments

[killertofuuu]

I reply to all comments, too, because I want to. I think it's polite to thank people for taking the time to leave feedback.

I think I get what you mean, though. Like, it might appear that you're trying to bulk up your review count on the surface by making replies? I say that because I used to be self-conscious about that sort of thing. I never wanted to come across as too pretentious, or fishing for attention, even though I was in a way. Let's be real, who doesn't want their fics to have an audience? And it still crosses my mind that it might look good to have a lot of comments and draw in readers. Hey, writing fic takes time and work. Yes I do it for myself, but it feels good when other people enjoy it, too.

The only thing that's really changed over the years is that, regardless of the intention behind replying to comments, I really don't see any problem with 'appearing thirsty', as long as you're not being an entitled asshole (i.e. demanding reviews.) Readers can read the ships/tags/summary/etc., look at the numbers, and decide for themselves if your fic is what they're looking for. I think, once I learned to be OK with that and just let it be, I was a lot more chill, Not to mention I have a lot more fun writing fic overall now.
