#it stings

[frownyalfred]

getting rated in the bookmarks of your fics — even if it’s a “good” rating — can be so demoralizing.

I know the reader-centered arguments for ratings and public comments/recs, but as an author, sometimes it really stings to put something out only to get a 6/10 sticker slapped right across it.

I’m not saying people can’t or shouldn’t do it but. Take a second before you do it publicly and ask, will this come across poorly to the author? Will it discourage them? Is it actually useful or helpful?
