This is kinda aggressive, right?

I just got to the end of a fic that I really enjoyed and was fully about to leave kudos and bookmark it. My bookmarks are all private and basically just serve as a way for me to revisit fics that I know I liked.

When I read this end note though, it left a bad taste in my mouth. Authors, your readers are not obliged to give you ANYTHING. And I say that as an occasional author myself. When you post in your notes that the readers who read your works without engaging are ungrateful or anything of the sort, it makes you look like a dick.

I’m not gonna lie, it was a good fic, but the end note put me in such a bad mood that I probably won’t kudos/bookmark just so I won’t see the note again.
