Re: Breaches of fandom etiquette

Writers who whinge and bitch about not getting enough comments drive me up the wall, even more so when they complain about the sort of comments they get on top of it.

I hate that it's always, without fail, trying to shift the onus of completion to the reader instead of the author. Like they're incapable of taking responsibility for their own projects. I get it! Writing and not getting the response you imagined can suck! But it's not their fault that you're not finishing, that's all on you.

Agreed. Especially that last part. If they want to regulate the types of reviews they get, fine, their story, that's their call, whatever...but then they shouldn't be surprised when that reduces the amount of comments they get as a result.

Plus, it just feels plain disrespectful to me. I'm the sort who will happily write long, positive reviews when I read something, and I love getting those kinds of reviews in turn.

But I also know that not everyone is going to review like that, for a whole host of reasons. At the end of the day, somebody took the time out to write something nice and positive about something I wrote, no matter how lengthy the review is. So I'm gonna take it for the genuine compliment it is and thank them for it.

(I'm also amused when people complain about not getting reviews because I grew up in an era where I was writing stories and not posting them anywhere online for comments and reviews. The only people who ever would see my writing were likely my family :p.

That's not to say I can't sympathize with the feeling of not getting any response to something you write, of course-now that I do share stories online, I get it. I've felt that way on occasion myself. But I don't get how complaining and blaming readers is supposed to entice them to review more.)
