Hadn't you heard? Authors have to be grateful for whatever they get and keep writing no matter how discouraged they might feel or they're literally Satan!

[(Anonymous)]

Mate no one’s stopping you from only caring about the numbers your fic is doing, but the only person who is going to be affected by that is you.

[(Anonymous)]

Huh. Can you show me where someone said authors "have to keep writing" or is this just you being dramatic?

[(Anonymous)]

If they're only writing to rack up the comments and kudos, then yeah, they should stop writing, because they're writing for the wrong reasons.

Who’s holding a gun to their head and making them write? Fandom is a hobby and if it’s one that isn’t fulfilling for the person then in all seriousness they should stop and do something else or even leave. No one should be forcing themselves to do something they’re not enjoying, and if they are then they really are doing a hobby for the wrong reasons.

No one's saying you have to keep writing. But if it's not fun and you don't have a community you enjoy sharing your stuff with, well...it's fine not to share your stuff. People might bitch and whine, but at the end of the day if you're not happy doing it, don't do it.

People are pointing out that the vast majority of writers (including me, hi!) are lucky if they see double-digits, let alone triple digit comments. If that's your metric for a successful fic, you're setting yourself up for disappointment. And if it's not fun and that metric is what's important to the writer in question, yeah, they're gonna be disappointed and they may stop writing, or at least stop sharing. And they have that right, but if they make a secret like this here then the rest of us have a right to point out where the flaw in their logic is.

Hi, writer here.

If all you care about is praise, go be a prostitute who does praise kink or something.

wow, way to go, anon.
I get entitled fic readers but you're on a next level.
