This exactly. I wouldn't have been bothered by harsh criticism or even outright mockery of my fics if it was in a review or some other form of direct contact, but when I just started out I was extremely paranoid about someone attempting to mock me "behind my back" and checked badfic communities almost every day just to make sure it wasn't happening.

I've seen a surprising amount of people who participate in those communities act legit shocked when the actual authors find out and contact them or something, like there's no way someone can know about their activities unless they're doing it themselves. Do they seriously believe no one Googles their fic titles/usernames/etc.?

Yes I agree. Half of the sting that came from things like that is the fact that it's being done behind your back.

Like I remember some of the people who did it just used to laugh about the "butthurt" authors getting mad, but did they ever stop and consider the author's point of view that this mockery is being done behind their back. In that light it's not really so 'whiny' or 'bratty' when they get mad, now is it?

(to make it worse some people who did it could be REALLY nasty saying things like "the author is retarded and their mother should have aborted them. Not all of them were like this, I knew a few really good ones, even ones who gave critique I respected but, when anyone can start a comm to do this you're going to get some nasty ones.)
