Yeah but above in this thread are a ton of people dissecting how authors reply, who they reply to, and saying if you don't reply you're an asshole who doesn't deserve the comments. It's hard to feel like it really doesn't matter when people get so mad about it :(

[(Anonymous)]

That's their problem, not yours. People also dissect what authors write, where they post it, how they tag it, what subject they chose to write about, how they maintain their blogs, how enthusiastic they are, how ironic they try to be, what they choose as their profile picture, the name they chose for their account, etc. It doesn't mean that you need to worry about pleasing all of them, because you literally cannot avoid nitpickers. If people want to get mad, they will find a reason to get mad no matter what you do; effectively, it doesn't matter what you do, because you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. As long as you're not trying to upset anyone, it's best to just do what your gut tells you is the polite and kind thing to do.

I know, and for the longest time people like that got to me, too. I know it's easier said than done not to let their negativity get you down, but I promise you their egotistical bullshit doesn't matter. There are no rules in fandom and they have no business trying to establish any. They can have their opinions, but that doesn't make them smarter, or morally superior than anyone else. Also, you can't please everybody. It's impossible, and it's ok to stop trying to. I wish there was anything I could say to help, but all I can really offer is my viewpoint and my honest hope that, in time, anyone posting fic on AO3 feeling anxiety about whether or not to comment finds peace in any decisions they make.
