I don't really read fanfiction outside of AO3, and I always leave at least kudos there if I liked the fic. But let's be honest: very few writers would like to know that the readers didn't like their work.

I'm not going to kudos something I didn't like, and leaving something like "I quit reading after the first chapter, because everyone was completely out of character, I had no interest in your setting, and it would be so much easier to read if this wasn't a huge block of text" as a review is just asking for trouble.

It's true that negative reviews send me panicking, but at least I know what to change. I also love AO3's kudos option. Kudos make me happier than just views and nothing.

If it was concrit rather than just griping or flaming.

Sometimes there is nothing to change though. Sometimes a fic might be perfectly fine, but it doesn't catch my fancy. Or it uses a headcanon I don't like but is not wrong. You can't really leave anything in those cases without coming across as an entitled dick.

I mostly agree with you - I once left a mildly negative review (which I thought was warranted), and the author had a complete meltdown. Now if I don't have something nice to say, I don't say anything, unless I *know* the author actually wants concrit.

But the difference is, that you actually do leave kudos when you like the story.

THat's not the same as people who say I never reply to anything, because I don't owe the authors anything, and to want feedback is somehow omg!entitlement. I think it's only human to want some feedback. It's entitlement to *demand* it. And I don't see the author in this secret demanding it.

I always leave a kudos on the stuff I like, mostly because I read on my tablet or on my phone and they are not comfortable to write reviews.
