There are a number of different things that feed into the amount of feedback, readership, and expressed appreciation a piece receives. When something is posted, how many people are online looking for something when they'd still consider it fresh, how popular the pairing/style/setting is (sometimes there's overkill, sometimes something hasn't hit the public interest yet), the title, what else is going on in the world, all these things and more can factor into the reception of a fic. Personally, I sometimes am least likely to comment on pieces I like best because I feel as though I need to contribute some meaningful feedback, and I'm often too tired/too stumped for words/too preoccupied with something on my schedule until it feels as though it's too late. For example, right now I'm sadly out of sleep and have been catching typos, etc., that are comically bad, which probably means there are others I'm not catching at all. Not to mention the commas. Oh, the commas. And the run on sentences.
