Comments

[nyxelestia]

I admit having that kind of A/N is bad form, but how is this sentiment entitled? Writers work hard on their fics, sometimes spending a ton of time on them, and are getting nothing back except those comments. When only a few people out of a few hundred readers leave a few words, it's a little disappointing and starts to make you feel like all your hard work is wasted. You have no idea who or what those few hundred hits are, and you ending up having little to no idea about who actually likes your writing and what they like about it.

I may write for fun, but I post for feedback. If people stop commenting, after a certain point I assume no one's reading it, at which point, why bother posting my work at all? Why bother with that effort of taking what's in your head and making it fun and palatable for others to read? Better to just leave it in my head or under my bed if no one else is going to care enough to even spend ten seconds to say, "I liked your fic!".

[(Anonymous)]

Two people liked that person's fic, but evidently those two people are worthless to the author. So it's not like the author is not getting ANY reviews. But instead of being grateful for the two that did review the author whined about the ones that didn't. I think that's where the 'entitled attitude' comes in.

[(Anonymous)]

Disagree. In this case, I think the 'entitled' comes into play from the people who habitually do not leave feedback, and want to complain about the author daring to say 'please leave feedback'.

Unless it's your first day on the internet, I'm sure you've actually seen entitled author's notes - and that note was NOT it.

[nyxelestia]

How is the author coming off as ungrateful for those two reviews? It's not a zero-sum game, here, you can be grateful for the reviews you have and be disappointed that there aren't more people out there willing to do the same as those first two.
