Let's get this out of the way: There is nothing wrong with enjoying positive attention for the things you create.

Yeah, I know there are plenty of people eager to make nasty remarks about entitled writers and HOW DARE THEY want positive feedback for their fics and art, OH MY GOD SO ENTITLED!!!!

They're assholes.

Sure, there are entitled creators who hold chapters hostage or act like their fans only exist to worship them, but we're not talking about those people - they're assholes, too. But it's stupid to pretend that everyone who likes seeing a new review left on their fic is entitled in any way, or that there's anything broken about enjoying people enjoying what you made.

THIS!!
It's not shameful or 'lame' or 'selling out' or wtf ever to *enjoy* people saying 'i liked that!' whether in comment or kudo. All of us that publish stuff online feel that, even if we bury it.

Most weeks I'll see a tumblr post about how wanting comments is evil or a whole post with a million reblogs about how the OP is INCAPABLE of commenting and we're hurting their feelings.
I've seen multiple posts whining about authors who want feedback "just for writing some words" and these assholes can get lost with that attitude and never read fanfic or look at fanart again because they don't seem to get that likes/comments/reblogs/communication is the social currency that makes fandom work.
