Apr. 23rd, 2009 08:17 pmGood old fashioned attention-whoring wank - gotta love it.
I think most writers (myself included) have been disappointed at some point or another about the lack of (meaningful) comments on this fic or that. It kind of comes with the territory. If you're posting it online, you're looking for people to read and enjoy it, and you only know people are reading and enjoying it if you get comments. There can never be enough. So yeah, in a way, I sympathize, and won't make the '40 comments is a lot, so why isn't she grateful?' comment. I kind of get it. Kind of.
Deleting the journal and throwing the big drama fit is like a huge 'fuck you' to everyone who's ever read, enjoyed, or commented on her fics. 'Thanks, fans, for enjoying my work - now go fuck yourselves.'
Nice.
