What are the most annoying types of comments on fanfics?

Back to Books & Writing

Whether you write fanfiction or you are just a reader who reads comment sections, what types of comments do you find the most annoying?

In my opinion, it's the ones who rush authors to update, especially right after a new chapter is published. :S

I also dislike it when others bring up other shows in the comments section. It distracts me from the discussion about the fic and the media it's writing about.

its so annoying how many people recently in comments have been really aggressive with wanting the author to be faster with posting and the people who give unwanted criticism or the people who instead of giving actual criticism they r jst really negative

its so upsetting bc fanfic writers r doing this out of their own free will, like its jst a hobby and ppl like that in comments are making a lot of authors not want to write or jst feel really upset

Totally understand that. 😔

The update rushers act like fic writers are writing factories, who can pump out chapters every day. Some people clearly need to train their patience.

And the unwanted criticism... It depends. I appreciate attentive readers. But I also see why some are a problem bc some of them come to a fic and just spill out their negativity in the shape of a comment.

Instead of:

MC should be more careful with her choices. She looks like she's putting herself in danger.

It's something like:

MC is such a dumb bitch! >:(

Author, fix this rn!

yea when people tend to give criticism (especially unwanted ones) they tend to be like , “hey i hate *thing*” without trying to be nice about it or say what to do instead jst 1 negative like i feel like criticism should be more like “hey i liked this fic but i didnt like *thing* maybe instead you could *another thing*” it jst feels like they expected the author to be a professional or a robot who’s perfect instead of jst som1 who wants to write some stuff and its nice to want to help som1 improve but youre not helping them improve if you dont give actual advice with it
