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

Yeah I hate that too. I used to never leave comments when I read but then I started to feel bad because the least I could do was give a thanks for being entertained for free but when someone only answers select comments or none at all I'm like "Well that's one last person I have to comment on." >:(

I don't always comment, but I try to do. If I really like the fic and have the time, then yes. Also, I will comment for authors that are friends more than those that aren't, that's just natural. But I don't expect my comment to get some special treatment over others because of that.
