Comments

[(Anonymous)]

It's worse than that for me. If I got 700 views and only two comments, I would assume that the fic was a failure and everyone hated it. Well, it would depend on the size of the fandom and the pairing I was writing (assuming it was a pairing fic), but in a moderately sized fandom where I'm not writing some really rare or controversial thing, if I got those numbers I would assume it was a bad fic, whether or not that's true.

As an author, we can really only base our success on the comments and views of strangers. Obviously you have your own pride in your work, and that counts for a lot, but I post fics because I want other people to also enjoy them.

700 views and 2 reviews tells me that it's an okay fic that people read but felt "meh" about it. I guess it wasn't bad per se, since there are no flames and it did get some reviews, but that it wasn't interesting, engaging, moving or anything else that'd make people say they enjoyed it, or wanted more, or whatever.

But maybe that's par for the course, as well. The person the OP has quoted may just be a mediocre author... (Though I have seen tons of amazing fics that don't have the number of views/reviews I feel they should.)
