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

ugh, I hate that. I try to answer all of the comments I get because I want the readers to know their commenting is really being appreciated, y'know? Also, like you said, that kind of high school bullshit elitism just irks the shit out of me. D:

Every comment on a fic is a gift, not something I think I'm entitled to. The fact that someone takes a time to leave a review means a lot to me and I want to tell them than. And yeah, I had no patience for the "in-crowd" people when I was in high school, I certainly don't now.
