Same. I mostly read published work (fiction and non-fiction), and generally only read fanfic if it's been recced, or as a favor to a friend.

The few times I've made an effort to read and review fanfics in a fandom, maybe 1 in 20 of the authors R&R back, so fuck 'em.

...Reading and reviewing fic isn't a reciprocal arrangement. Just because you liked someone else's fic doesn't mean they're going to like yours.

True. Selfishness and toxic narcissism are SO much easier!

Nope. Reading and reviewing fic isn't something people are obligated to give you. There's no social contract and no selfishness if they don't.

I'm lucky enough to be a fairly popular writer in my fandom. I get comments and kudos from A LOT of people.

I'm also an adult with real-world responsibilities.

So, sorry if it's "selfish" but I'm going to prioritize, you know, my family and my job over reading and reviewing fic by every single person who once said "Good story!" on mine.

What the actual fuck. People are not obligated to enjoy your fic just because you enjoyed theirs. That isn't how fic works. That isn't how anything works.

[(Anonymous)]

...why would you expect them to R&R back just because you did? That's not a thing.

This makes it sound as though you're not making an effort to R&R the authors who've left comments on your fic first.

(To be clear, I think this expectation of yours is absolutely ridiculous. But ridiculous and hypocritical is worse than ridiculous and non-hypocritical.)
