Man, I get so tired of entitled authors. If you are writing for whatever feedback you do or do not get and not for your own personal enjoyment, you are doing fandom wrong. Who gives a fuck if people ask you to update or if you get no comments at all? Write what you want to write, when you want to write.

No great loss, though, I've never known anyone with this attitude who wrote stuff worth reading anyway.

NAYRT—As someone who’s never posted any fic or anything else un-anon, and has reams of fic I’ve never posted anywhere, and is all in favor of people saving fic and authors leaving it up even when they’re no longer fond of it, you sound like the kind of fan who makes people decide to quit posting and pull their fics.

I mainly write for myself; that’s why everything I’ve shared has been in response to a prompt or request someone wanted to see. But as a fic reader, if everyone wrote only for themselves and didn’t care about feedback, I know for certain I’d have way less fic to read and enjoy.

If people were writing solely for their own personal enjoyment, most of them wouldn't post fic. And then you'd be here whining endlessly about how fandom is dying and you just don't know why.

This! Fandom is a two-way street.

Funny, because most of the people I know who write fic do so because they have a particular story/scenario itch they want to scratch for themselves. They just post it because they figure someone else might enjoy it too.

AYRT - I was speaking specifically as a fic writer. Comments and kudos are fun but completely irrelevant to what I choose to write and post.

My tastes aren't very mainstream so I'm unlikely to whine about lack of fic since there is rarely much for me anyway. And I do leave feedback on the rare occasion I find something that appeals to me. I just don't consider it "payment" (lol) for a service. My god, what a capitalist way of looking at it.

Fandom is not supposed to be about getting "paid", in real money or in feedback. Seriously.
