no you can't *make* people strike--if you did it wouldn't be a strike. I prefer a community led protest :-)

I am simply thinking out loud, because this is a question of the fandom ages with no solution (that I have seen). We know the value* of comments. We know comments fertilise fic. Recently, I posted a little ficlit on Tumblr--No traction. I posted it on dreamwidth--No traction. I debated binning it. But I liked it, it was daft and cute. I posted it on Ao3 and I got some lovely comments and wrote sequels, purely off the energy of those comments.

*we use the language of commerce often when exploring this issue e.g. a fic with more comments/kudos/bookmarks is (likely). Paid in feedback/shouldn't expect feedback. Perhaps we should focus more on community-based 'support/encouragment'. I don't know--I'm not an anthropologist. I do know that I like being a fandom with a supportive engaging community more than in one which is distant and divisive and in-accessible.
