I've seen a couple of authors lately with this sort of message on FF.net saying, "I can't reply to all the reviews sorry," and I said, "Well, of course you can't," but then I got this and said, "...Hmmm." So it's good that I'm not the only one not replying to reviews.
And I think you're a sweetheart; thank you. *hugs*
It doesn't bother me at all if I don't get a reply. And really why would I expect one? The writer has written something I enjoyed and gifted me with the priviledge of reading it. So I said thank you. Yeah, a you're welcome is nice but not expected, after all they've already given something and I am trying to encourage them to give me something else - a new story or to write the kind of story I enjoyed.
And as a writer, I do try to respond but I can't all the time. I work, have three kids, two dogs and write. Sometimes time just isn't my friend even if I do appreciate the comments.
Your comment = my brain. Seriously, this is exactly what I thought. Replies to my feedback? Always awesome. But not necessary in the slightest. (I has more stories to give, btw. A new one tonight upon which I'm going to go INSANE and do something reallyreallybad which will probably incur MORE ficcage from me and BAH I AM BAD
( ... )
Well personaly your doing me one step better. You actually have peolpe reading your stories. On Live Jounal no one seems intersted in me. I admit I have had a few poeple actually, put my story on alert and write a reveiw on Fanfiction.net, which as few as they are make me the happiest person on earth in that second. SO I haven't really had that problem. I just fear someone will kick my ass beacuse I'm having a little writers block an haven't updated in a while, which I really fell bad about, cause First first time Fic auther here (waves hand), and its summer and my life is uneventful for the most part. If I DO get an answer from an author. To Me It's kinda like getting an answer from a god, cuase Yeah I really respect these people and It's cool that someone replys, some people are busy. Hope you don't have any more problems! :)
Aw sweetie don't give up! When I started writing...oh god, over ten years ago 0_o no one replied to any of my fics. Ever. Different fandom, but no comments. So don't give up: keep writing

I went to find the review, to see who left it and I understand now. Before I joined ff.net, I left an anon review telling her that Azazel was spelled wrong. She ended up yelling in the chapter about it. She's a little bit sensitive.
You don't owe reviewers anything. It's a nice gesture to reply to them, but you don't have to.
So drama/wank doesn't just happen here at LJ? /sarcasm
See, if someone tells me that I goofed up, there's a little bit of irk because damn, I missed it myself and made myself look bad. But the person who caught it gets my total adoration because then I can fix it and I don't have to be embarrassed anymore. So yeah, any and all catches are awesome.

It doesn't bother me when I don't get a reply back. I like replies back, but I don't care if they reply or not.
I love your fics, and think you're an amazing author.
