*hugs back* That's my feeling too. And even more disheartening is watching a hit counter and seeing how few comments and how many reads.
You would think, wouldn't you? I used to get read a long while ago when I first came into fandom and wrote solely Remus/Sirius fic. Then I did Lusty Month of May and had complete burnout from writing 31 fics in 31 days and also began branching out in what I wrote. Then, I'd turn out 10 good fics in a year (maybe?) as opposed to just turning them out unbetaed unwhatevered... and get little feedback anymore. I don't know if something IS good and people just don't know how to comment or what? And I know I sounds like a whiny bint... *sigh*
I think I know exactly what you're talking about. I was taught the same thing. I don't mind seeing people want to help with writing, but at the same time -- most poeple are in fandom and write here to have a creative outlet and many just want to write, regardless of getting better or not. I swear authors should start adding a concrit: y/n to our headers.
