Writers don't have to pander to their audience, readers don't have to comment - Both of these things are true.

However, a lot of writers get inspired by conversations they have with their audience and a lot of writers choose which couples/characters/fandoms to focus on based on which stories their audience seems to respond to.

Is commenting on a fic a requirement? Of course not, but if you spent an hour (or days/weeks/etc if it's a WIP) reading a fic that you really enjoyed, is it REALLY that hard to simply leave feedback saying you liked it? I get that some people are shy or don't know what to say when commenting but you don't have to leave paragraphs of deep analysis. Just a quick 'this was great, thanks for sharing' can do WONDERS for a writer's inspiration/motivation.

And this is even more important when dealing with smaller fandoms or rare pairings that don't have much fic to begin with, as discussion via comments could encourage other people to write that pairing/fandom.

Nicely written. And I don't know why this concept is so difficult for people to understand.

and what if they spent that hour reading your shitty word vomit and decided that they wanted that hour back.

should they say that, too?

No one spends an hour on fic they don't like, that's why we have back buttons. Troll harder, trolly.

DA

So... when was the last time you visited ffrants? Many over there do spend a long time on fics they hate just to rant about it.

Sometimes the shitty part's near the end. Like Twilight and the uterus-biting shenanigans.
