Reasons people may decline to comment or kudos on fanfiction they enjoyed:
They consider comments and kudos transactional compensation to the author, and they don't feel that the work was good enough to deserve compensation, or they don't believe they owe compensation to fan authors in general.
They consider comments and kudos as feedback, and they don't feel that the author wants or needs feedback from them.
However, comments and kudos aren't compensation, and they aren't even necessarily feedback either.
Comments and kudos for fan authors are:
encouragement to keep writing
reciprocation of a bid for connection
interaction with your community
confirmation that they're not the only one interested in their story
Please don't consider comments, or especially kudos, purely transactional or purely a form of feedback. Comments and kudos are a way to show authors in your community that you're glad they're there.
Authors aren't "entitled" to kudos or comments, but readers aren't "entitled" to fic, either.
Fanfiction is a community, and when an author repeatedly reaches out to their community for connection only to receive silence in return it is very discouraging and can result in the author withdrawing from the community altogether.
just for curiosity's sake, to any fic writers in the audience --
if you've done more than one, vote the lowest down option!
*not as in "i invented a trope", but as in "i was the first one in the transformers ao3 collection to write a tagged 'only one bed' fic"
(ao3 specifically used only because its so easy to search for this information, but if you were the first one to write a fic for anything on other sites, i'd also love to hear about that!)

⇆ any of your older ranger OCs in Desire! (Or how they react to Dru in general lol)
Just to be clear, I have an entire AU idea where Ash stayed in Sky’s life and beat Dru with a steel chair. I think about this all the time.
Sky has intentionally not told any of them about him— mostly because Addi will track him down and kill him while making it look like an accident.
So hypothetically if they were swapped into Desire…
Sage would be more focused on Sky himself— dragging him out of there and making sure he doesn’t die
Jamie’s coming up with a huge plan and probably synthesizing the antidote in the back of Bridge’s trailer
Addi is surprisingly calm. It is because she has already figured out how to kill Dru while making it look like an accident on the drive there.
Ash is obviously pissed and wants to beat Dru to death with a steel chair, but as the closest thing to a parental figure Sky has at the moment she’s trying her fucking best to make sure he’s okay and drag him away to Kat and get him fixed up.
Bonus: If Schuyler was there… oh, boy. As the child of an abusive relationship, he’s gotta sit there and go like “Ah, fuck, my son is making the same mistakes my mom and Lina did.” Like he’s going to feel guilty that he didn’t teach Sky the warning signs well enough and then cry into a pillow for two hours and then apologize non-stop for failing Sky (Sky: Dad, what???)

[A/N]: I finally wrote a thing based on this post!
TW: Injury, Character death (but it’s not any of the PT), just Yusuke not having a good time in general.
Also on AO3
For what must be the twentieth time today, Yusuke curses his luck as he dodges a shadow’s attack.
It was a restless day in Tokyo, which obviously meant changes in Mementos. There were hordes of shadows stalking the tunnels today, and a particularly bad ambush had left the Phantom Thieves scattered.
Then, to make matters worse, the Reaper just had to show up and chase him until Yusuke was forced onto a lower floor than the others.
From the snippets of conversation Yusuke managed to pick up via Necronomicon, it seemed like the others had managed to regroup and were looking for him. He just has to try his best to hold out until then.
Yusuke chuckles to himself. Easier said than done.
A fire spell comes dangerously close to striking his face.

Fanfics are a big part of what inspires me to draw fanart, but I have just seen a post saying that some writers might not like fanart based on their fics to be posted and honestly, I'd never considered that, so if you're a fanfic writer:
to me fanart and fanfic have always seemed more or less like a symbiotic relationship and I personally would love it if someone wrote a fic based on art that I drew, so I'd never really considered that someone might not like it
So, I decided to write another fic. It’s basically me poking fun at tropey RPF fanfics. It’s pretty much crack but I enjoyed writing it and I did put a disclaimer in the notes, but here it is again: I am not against x Readers! I just find RPF fanfiction really creepy and it’s funny to write about!
