S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I'm still startled when people volunteer the information that they're so unreasonable.
Someone in LJ posted something about the female pack mentality that had a good line of thought on that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay -- I need perspective. I've never given feedback to anyone that's not a Buffista.
Is it really that big a deal? For the giver, I mean. It's quite obvious how much it can chuff to receive.

Though there were some issues in there that I felt one of the comments addressed well.

Honestly, the only feedback I give is to Buffistas and the people I beta.
I always think I *should* give feedback, but I never do.

Try also getting into the discussion as to whether a rec counts as feedback.

Outside of any opinions I might hold on the matter itself, I'm startled that so many people care *so* much, and are so unhesitant to polarize themselves and mischaracterise each other, and just keep carping.

I'm sorry, have you met fandom? That's practically the motto on the fannish coat of arms.

Thrive to spite them
I remember how chuffed I felt when I was recced , but it felt weird because she didn't send feedback. And then later I saw something where recc-ing counts as feedback and you shouldn't be greedy enough to want both. And then I felt weird. The more I read and the more I see, the more I like just sitting on the fringes.
