I bookmark everything I read on AO3 :) Even if I wasn't that impressed, I still bookmark it, but anything less than flattering in the comments gets that private box ticked!
I pretty much always find the ones using the ratings don't write, so I get that they don't get it. Or they're not in the midst of fandom like we tend to be and don't really think of the authors as real people or something? I don't know. In most cases I don't think it's malicious, just clueless.
Sometimes I wish you could comment on bookmarks though, just to bring to their attention that there *is* a person behind the fic. It's so frustrating.
