Comments

[(Anonymous)]

Does anyone really care about comment numbers that much? I don't. I certainly don't filter by them or anything. If I see the author is replying to comments I just mentally divide the number in half, it's no big deal.

I like to see some conversations in the comments going on. It's not a deciding factor of any kind in which fics I read, but I do low-key respect authors who reply to comments more than authors who don't.

quite some time ago I remember some tumblr grumblrs claiming that authors responded to comments to inflate their count and make it look like their fic is more popular than it is, and like OP that's when I started hesitating about replying to everything. but it was def a while ago, and I stopped caring about that attitude in the interim.

I guess it was the very small subset of readers who actually think lots of comments = better fic, and don't click to see if any percentage are the author, so they get irrationally buttmad if their metric doesn't work. those kind of people aren't worth listening to I guess, do what feels right to you (OP, or any other writer, including me if I write anything in the future).

Tumblr grumblrs is an amazing phrase and I know exactly what type of people you mean by it.
