I definitely understand the feeling, OP.

But it might not be that your writing is bad---I've seen the observation on [livejournal.com profile] fanficrants many times that a fic's review count on FF.N is often a function of the subject matter's popularity and accessibility to the average readership.

In other words, a quick mediocre fluff fic about the canon's current yaoi OTP or an angst fic about the fandom's favorite woobie can easily get far more reviews than a well written piece about a less popular character that requires the reader to think. Other possible causes include:

-the pairing/characters you're writing about are unpopular
-the genre you're writing for is unpopular
-some people go tl;dr when they see a chapter over 2000 words or so

In other words, review count=/=quality. They can correlate sometimes, and I've seen excellent fic with high review counts, but it's definitely not a sure thing. It's tricky.

And a high amount of reviews doesn't mean that people actually like your fic. It is possible to have over 11,000 reviews basically telling you that you suck

Exactly. 'My Immortal' in the Harry Potter fandom was a great example before it was deleted. XD

Whoa, wait. My Immortal got deleted? When?

[identity profile] azora-mysta.livejournal.com 2009-04-13 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
It must have been relatively recently, because I can remember reading the original review list a few months ago.

This (http://www.fanfiction.net/u/999831/) was the author's profile, the story in question is no longer there. Other (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4719325/1/My_Immortal_REPOST) people (http://myimmortalrehost.webs.com/index.htm) have preserved it, though, because the Internet never forgets.

Dear God, I'd never even seen this but it's like a horrible train wreck and you can't look away. I...wow.
