Re: 112
(Anonymous) 2009-03-06 01:40 am (UTC)(link)Ah, see, I often read someone's fic and leave feedback because they're new to either a comm I'm a member of, or to my flist and I like to encourage and welcome new authors (and almost all of these people do say 'thanks' for the feedback.) Just because someone's fic isn't good now doesn't mean that they won't get better with time and practice. But for many of them, at this stage in their writing 'career', sometimes their readers are doing them a favor. I can't think of a way to say that without sounding, I don't know, harsh or rude (or as the commenter below said, 'bitchy'), but believe me - in the comments I leave for new authors, I never try to make them feel like I'm 'doing them a favor'. If that's disingenuous, maybe the solution is for me to stop trying to encourage new authors, and stop leaving feedback.
Re: 112
I don't think it's at all disingenuous to be encouraging for the sake of the larger community and the fostering of new talent. But usually when I'm reading fic it's because I genuinely want to, and in those cases I very much feel like I'm in the author's debt for having written a great story. <3
Side note: I think I only feel disingenuous for leaving comments on so-so fic when...well, to be honest, when I'm reading that fic BECAUSE it's laughably bad. I have a few badfics I follow for "the lulz" as they say, and I derive a HUGE amount of enjoyment from reading them, but I cannot in any way say that they are objectively good, and I would feel like a bit of a dick for leaving encouraging comments just so I can have new chapters to laugh at.
Finally, just to be absolutely clear: I agree that it is polite to thank people for comments!
