AYRT Nobody is shaming people for leaving kudos if they've actually read the fic.

[(Anonymous)]

The anon I was replying to said that OP should read the fic and then COMMENT on it, skipping kudos altogether. That’s where I was extrapolating the disregard for kudos in general from. Especially because this “comments over kudos” discussion has happened multiple times on F!S. There’s a strong contingent of shaming, or at least guilting those who leave kudos over comments here. But that’s not really relevant to today’s secret discussion, obviously. I was just bringing it up because the anon I was replying to sounds like these people.

Also, someone downthread specifically said “Yes it certainly makes me feel shittier about kudos than I ever did. Well done, OP.”. That’s directly implying a dislike of kudos in general. It does show that it’s not just kudos given without reading the fic that is being put down.

And it’s fine in and of itself to prefer comments over kudos. It’s valid for different people to have different preferences for which type of reader interaction they get. It’s when the writer openly judges or shames readers for only leaving kudos that gets on my nerves. I can’t stop anyone, and wouldn’t even if I could, from openly being that way to readers though, because it’s not my place to do that, and it’s their stories and audience.
