People who whinge about not getting any comments on their fics who don't even bother commenting on the fics written by their regular commenters.
Like, it's called networking y'all. You gotta engage to be engaged with.
If someone comments on your stuff and you read their fics too, don't just leave a kudos, leave a goddamn comment. Tell them what you enjoyed about the chapter.
Also, REPLY to the comments people leave for you. I understand the idea behind not wanting to "pad" the comment count, but it makes me feel like the author doesn't give a damn whether people read or comment on their fic or not when they don't bother to interact with their fanbase.
