Not really you in particular, just frustration at a repeated occurance that I do know has bothered other fic writers. And at the same time, I feel guilty for being bothered by it at all, which is frustrating in itself.
Thank you for explaining though, and it does make a bit more sense looking at it like that. I guess because I've never had trouble when someone links to a fic or discussion elsewhere, stepping in to say something, that it was hard to understand why someone might double back.
Part of it stems from FFR posts on LJ in the past, when it's come up that a lot of times, people don't review when there's no easy or quick'n'ready way to do so, like having to open an email, etc. (And I've been guilty of that too, especially when it's an older fic and I have no way of knowing if the address is even still in use.) And I have seen people saying they pass over fics with no reviews or few reviews thinking they're not as good, and saying "But there's lots of reviews elsewhere" sounds like a cousin of "the lurkers support me in email" XD;;;
You weren't the only one who did it this time, or the only one at all who's done it, and the first time I post a fic link on my journal unlocked in a while, I get several comments there. It just made me go crosseyed for a moment and headdesk. XD;;
