Short answer, nope.

Long answer, this is the kind of thing that really grates on me (and a lot of other writers from what I’ve seen).

Writers work very hard, they give stories their time, effort, commitment, passion and their courage.

Then, they go a step further and choose to share their work because they want to be active in a community, or to expand their skills and experience, or to learn from others, or simply because they want to share. And what do so many writers get for this?

Next to nothing.

And then, when they lose interest in sharing because they get hardly any support from the people who selfishly lap up their content, people suddenly start piping up. They say how much they loved the writer’s work or even have the nerve to ask them to put it back up when they never gave a shred of support to the writer while their work was actually posted.
