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

I agree, it always seems rude to me when there are pages and pages of comments, and not even a thank you to be seen. I was taught that if someone says something nice, or even helps you by pointing out something you missed, you should always say 'thank you.'

Well exactly. I'm constantly amazed and grateful that people want to talk to me, take the time to comment on my fics or general posts. That sort of connections should not be taken for granted.

Exactly, I feel like that too! And I've met so many amazing people on the internet inside little comment boxes.

No doubt about the fact that some of my best friends I've met right here on LJ.
