Fandom "Rep"
I used to be a total lurker, but now that I comment more, I do wonder about this fyfff tumblr post.
Do writers really keep track of the people who comment? Will the writer of something subtle and moving discount my admiration when they find out I also have a near-bulletproof love for, say, people being held down, even when written in barely-intelligible English?
Sorry skilled writers! I promise I have half a brain and appreciate your stuff - maybe even at the level you meant for it to be appreciated at. I just also have horrible weaknesses as well.
Though perhaps this type of "quality" snobbery has no legit place in the fanfic sphere anyway.
