So what would you say are the causes of that? I mean, it seems like some degree of BNFing would be bound to happen in any fandom - that is, there'd be people who write better / produce fic more regularly / hit the fandom's kinks / come in knowing more people in the fandom / run all the things. I would expect people with a lot of those qualities to naturally end up with more readers and thus more comments on their fic.

Plus, this fandom is so big that it makes sense that the BNFs would be R(eally)BNFs.

So, as one of the people no one's heard of, I definitely get frustrated when I feel like a fic of mine is being ignored. But I guess I see that and BNFs as both being symptoms of a huge, sprawling fandom - which HP also was, obvs.

Am I way off base here? What do you think?
