In the history of the Internet, has something even a little bit Problematic ever been met with silence? I strongly suspect it’s not that people aren’t reading or enjoying; it’s that people are either apathetic about commenting or simply using all their mental bandwidth to get through the day.
These are good points. No, it’s not that there’s high traffic and low engagement, it’s just low traffic. I think it’s that I’ve veered off into writing fics that are mostly OCs in a corner of a less-prominent fandom, and as it is people are hesitant to read epics, but when you add in that it’s mostly obscure characters, it’s perfectly understandable that people are going to #1, not search for those tags in the first place, #2 click in and see how long the fucking thing is and nope out, or #3 start reading and realize it’s all OCs and not actually what they read fanfic for.
But, no, you’re right, there’s probably not an anonymous thread on some messageboard somewhere full of people discussing how That Lady is fucking At It Again.
Well. Probably not.
But my jerkbrain is as fertile and active as my regular making-stuff-up brain, so. I can’t entirely discount the possibility.
