I'm not sure what it is about this fic that has people leaving comments like this:

But I really don't care for it.

This fic was updated 11 days ago and I have received all of these comments within that time. They are not encouraging. They are demanding. And they are straight up rude.

Can you imagine eating a delicious meal someone prepared for you and walking up to them at the end and yelling "I NEED MORE RIGHT NOW." No? Then don't do this to writers. It's not polite in literally any sphere.

#have honestly never had people comment at me like this before #ao3 #like yes I get that it's a compliment that they want more of my work #but actually it's very offputting to open my email and see demands #like straight up it does not feel good to receive these comments #got home from birthday lunch to see oh hey I got a comment #and oh hey it's someone demanding more fic right NOW #like sorry I was off eating tapas and wasn't worried about whether strangers on the internet were satisfied with the rate of words throw ou #I don't know maybe I'm a cantankerous bastard but these really rub me the wrong way
