 {{http://i.imgur.com/fF9qclH.jpg|Kudos Anxiety}}Feedback on fic — whether kudos, comments, bookmarks, or recs — is a perennial source of wank (as well as useful discussion) on meme. Writers complain about readers who never leave any feedback, readers who do nothing but press the "Kudos" button on AO3, readers who leave only short comments, and readers who leave unasked-for constructive criticism (concrit). Readers complain about writers who declare their entitlement to comments but who never respond to comments or, worse, respond to them in ways that make the commenters uncomfortable. {{http://i.imgur.com/fF9qclH.jpg|Kudos Anxiety}}Feedback on fic — whether kudos, comments, bookmarks, or recs — is a perennial source of wank (as well as useful discussion) on meme.

-In late June 2011, the OP of a subthread titled //[[fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/16264.html?thread=70057864#t70057864|"A Blow-by-Blow Account of How Much I Hated Your Story"]]// reported some random anonymous person reviewing each chapter of one of their old fics. //"Their reviews were getting increasingly hostile. They started out lukewarm toward the story, but now each review is several paragraphs of things they didn't like and backhanded compliments (Usually when people write X, they make the mistake of doing Y. But yours doesn't do that ALL the time, so I guess that's a bit better.) "// The nonny turned off anon reviews, then //"decided I didn't want the bother and [temporarily] locked the fic."// The got a passive-aggressive PM from the reviewer claiming to like the fic and asking why it was locked.+In late June 2011, the OP of a subthread titled //[[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/16264.html?thread=70057864#t70057864|"A Blow-by-Blow Account of How Much I Hated Your Story"]]// reported some random anonymous person reviewing each chapter of one of their old fics. //"Their reviews were getting increasingly hostile.

-This anecdote set off a long wank about whether unsolicited concrit is good or bad.
