man i will never get over the fact that i wrote at the end of my author’s notes one time something akin to “lol not to be That Guy but you guys should leave reviews! i like reading them they make me happy :)” and a guy decided to leave a 300 word essay telling me how horrible of a mindset it is to write for only reviews and that there are a lot of really valid reasons why someone might not leave a review, such as anxiety or they just don’t like the story that much, and that i should REALLY be writing for myself and my craft.
all while never talking about the actual fic itself
bullshit central
