only a hundred words or so long

Oh Jesus. So you've actually been counting?

There have only been a couple of times when I've written a long review and the author didn't respond. One these times, it appeared that the writer had left the fandom.

You stick to long fics, which are by definition going to have more invested authors who can sink more time in. Ok. Have you not noticed how many secrets on here are about anxiety about how to act in fandom circles, people worried about offending people, people worried the local BNF is going to turn everyone against them.

Your long reviews create obligations--you clearly think that when you write something, you are owed a response. But it's doubtful anyone is asking for reviews that long. When you write 700 fucking words, people are going to freak out and assume that if they don't respond proportionally, you are going to get huffy and perhaps talk to other people about them. i mean, the times you haven't gotten responses--which to most people is just something to shrug over and move on--are memorable! You clearly care a real damn lot about this! You probably come off as kind of aggressive!

Had lots of great conversations that came from these.

Yes, the times people were afraid not to engage with you must have been very fun for you!
