No author is entitled to comments, to interaction, to reblogs or likes or reviews or anything, but in a community where you’re essentially a bunch of indie writers, that’s the lifeblood that keeps people *posting*. Writing doesn’t necessarily stop, but when someone feels like no one gives a shit whether you’re sharing or not, you quit sharing.
In the simplest possible terms: creators aren’t entitled to your support, but you’re also not at all entitled to their creations.
If you want content, support content creators.
Even better: stop viewing your fellow fans creating things as content creators. We are not on YouTube and we do not get money for this.
Support your fellow fans by letting them know— human to human— that you enjoyed what they did. If we stop putting people who create on pedestals, maybe we can kill the influencer culture that’s invaded fandom.
