I kind of think Q1 is a personal thing really - by now peeps probably have forgotten about the comment - so which would make YOU feel okay - posting the fic up or taking the time to reply first. If you're ok with not responding, do it. Posts and entries IMO have a very short shelf life - especially for the regular commenters who tend to do dozens of comments everyday.
If you're mind if getting you on a guilt trip, start up on the long comments and make your way down to the "Me like!" comments. So, less on your conscience.
I'm partly afraid that answering the comments will actually make me look like a bigger douche in the long run because then people will remember that I didn't answer them before. But if I don't, I'll be tortured by guilt. The agony!
I stick by the idea that it won't really make a difference either way if you respond to their one comment after weeks - except to you >__> And yeah, to all those commenters it *would* prob be "Oh, she never got around to commenting till NOW."
IMO there are a lot more authors/artists who don't respond than those who do. It's all about your inner compass - would you feel better taking the time to respond to everything or could you use your time more productively churning out more fanfic?
I am probably just making you wring your hands more XD
I am prejudiced against the farm with the door that makes the mooing sound, because the one in our household is broken in some unidentifiable way that makes it moo whenever you step on the floor in its near vicinity, or go up and down stairs, or slam the downstairs door. Every now and then a visitor will ask us what that phantom mooing sound is. We usually just say "cows."
I think not answering comments is the least of the reasons you will burn in hell for, so I think you should take it as a free pass to not answer comments.
It's a good one! (http://shop.lego.com/Product/?p=4768) I, uh, have the Hogwarts Castle, too, and I have to say that's my favorite, but the ship is a close second.
Dude, it just said that to me about America too, and I know it was bought here. Well at the very least, there's always Amazon? (http://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Harry-Potter-Durmstrang-Ship/dp/B0007PHOUW)
I don't like the first two artists, and have never heard of the last two. So I'm going to stick in my own response of "Tool." Because I'm a rebel that way.
I haven't answered mine and don't plan to! I say just repost the story and move on with life. Tell any residual guilt to take a long walk off a short pier.
...The second question was hard. I love LEGOs, but a mooing farm just sounds awesome.
Also I feel like I shouldn't vote for Atobe, just because he always wins everything. But oh well.
And for the first one, I always feel like I'll be bothering someone if I reply to a comment too late. But I'm insane, and a late comment is probably better than no comment at all, really.
My mother gave away all my lego (I had a massive box full of it, with really cool stuff from back in the day, like a huge castle and a dragon wagon and a bunch of space ships -- even a space jail!) and I have never forgiven her for it. I would still play with it.

Clearly, I need to get some perspective. :D

I know what you mean about Atobe, but it's hard to say he doesn't deserve it.
