Actually, I have some fics on an archive that has counters for each fic. When I see that one of my fics have, say, 324 hits, I'm happy about it. The lack of comments doesn't bother me at all. I go WOO 324 people clicked on my fic!!! \o/ (Guess I'm easy to please. XD;) The only situation where comments have a real effect on my mood is when Someone Whose Opinion About That Particular Fic Matters either likes it or doesn't like it. Everything else is either gravy (yay! someone said they liked it! *snoopydance*) or irrelevant (heh, this person didn't like it becasue I used an odd pairing, snigger!). I'm that shallow.
If I post something that means something to me it might affect me just a little bit if it's met with complete silence. But one person who cares (or cares enough to pretend) is enough for me, and I don't expect anyone else to appreciate the same things I do. It's nice when they do, but I don't feel disappointed much if they don't. Now, if someone should comment and bash whatever it is I've posted (about), that's a whole other kettle of tea. But we weren't talking about attacks, so. ♥
