This isn't about fanfic, because I haven't read any in a long time, but I reply to more *posts* when they appear on my friends list while I'm actually online.
When I wake up, I might have to skip back=60 or so, and I'll just read through all of that in one 15 minute stint, and only comment when it's important. Because by then I've usually missed the discussion boat anyway, or I simply cannot be bothered.
And I've noticed that with my regular posts - if I post something about my breakfast/pet fish/whatever, if I post it during the night, i'll get a lot of my US friends commenting, but if I post it while my aussie friends are on , then i'll get their comments. But never both. Unless it was a scandalous pet fish story.
You know what else is horrible too, I'm more likely to open up a piece of fic in a new tab if it's already got some comments on it. So I have no idea how that fits into your timeline.
But yeah, I wouldn't post a piece of fic on a weekend.
