"leaving feedback is a skill that not all of us have" This is such an oft-neglected truth!
I understand that comments may be the only reward on-line fanwork producers get. But writing feedback is a form of writing too no matter how short the feedback is, and it's not easy for readers, especially those like me who aren't good enough to become a writer or metacritic.
Sometimes I wish there could be a thank you button for us inarticulate fans. Other times I just want to scream we are people too. Honestly, published writers may not get half as much feedback than fan writers do.
