. (real life stuff) I don't want to talk to *anyone* for a while.
Yes, exactly! Or I've stayed up way too late to finish the story, too tired to comment before I climb into bed, and by morning I forget to go back and comment. Or I'm reading offline; finish one story and immediately start another, then commenting on the previous story once I'm online again just slips my mind. There are so many things that can get in the way of commenting.
And yes about authors responding to comments. If I see multiple comments that the author has never answered, I just shrug and leave a kudos. It feels judgy on my part but, you know, that's life -- when I say 'thank you', I expect 'you're welcome'. .
