Open letter
Dear Fanfic Author,
If you are not going to bother answering comments, then I'm not going to bother with leaving you one, no matter how much I liked your fic. And no, I'm not talking about comments a few days old that you just haven't gotten around to yet. I'm talking about comments that were left several months ago and haven't been acknowledged with even a simple 'thank you'. Also, if it's clear that you're only answering comments left by your in-crowd or other so-called BNFs, then I will be doubley disinclined to acknowledge your fic in any way. Because nothing gets up my nose faster than that sort of high-school elitism and if that makes me a petty bitch then so be it. You can take your entitlement issues and 5 pages of unanswered comments and fuck off.
Ask me if I care,
Kat

Have been distracted by reading this (http://charlottelennox.livejournal.com/887.html) - an incredible true story of the how crazy HP fandom actually got. I knew about in general way, but not to this detail, fascinating read.
You know that P-word you banned me from using (no, not penis)? Well, you'll be pleased to know that none of that sort has happened today.
...I'm hungry. What to do, what to do...

I have saved the HP fandom read and yes they are a very crazy fandom.
Good. Very pleased on none of that going on.
Hungry ... what to do ... well I would suggest food :-)
Go make yourself something woman and hello Jon. See some bandom people can do beards well. Are you listening Andy!

Truly one of my biggest pet peeves in fandom, lol.

Nothing irks me more than someone who wants comments, but doesn't acknowledge me.
I may take a few days or a week or something to reply if I'm busy when I get a comment- fic or regular post- but I always, ALWAYS go back and reply, and the notification doesn't get archived in my email until I do reply- it stays waiting in my inbox until I deal with it.

Argh, venting! Lol, my flist must think I'm on drugs tonight...

Of course, someone can just forget to answer one, but when it's every comment on every chapter, it's a bit ridiculous. And those will be the ones who apologize for spamming your flist with posting a multi chapter story... when they could just alter the fucking date and have just the master post appear on their flist. The irony. So smart, so self-centered, such good writers, such big morons...

Like I said above: talent is worth shit all without some humility.

This really is one of my pet peeves. And there's a difference between being busy (and letting people know you're busy and getting to comments eventually) and just ignoring comments...
