I love it when f!s is a force for good!

[galerian-ash.livejournal.com]

Hey, that's great! As a writer who loves getting comments, I thank you :)

[(Anonymous)]

As a writer who loves comments, bless you, OP. It's readers like you who make writing and fandom all the more enjoyable.

[(Anonymous)]

Aaw, that's sweet, anon.

[kallanda_lee]

I love this secret <3

Rock on, OP.

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you, anon!

[cloud_riven]

That's what we're here for, OP. Validating OPs and reassuring them how okay they really are.



Except for when they're not.

It's so helpful to learn that you're not alone. I'm glad that you did.

Rock on, OP. Possible commenting advice?

[nyxelestia]

Normally, I don't offer advice on commenting because, as a writer, it's hard not to come off like a jackass for telling people how to comment. I think in this context, though, it might be better received (or at least I hope it is).

This is stuff I say from the perspective of someone who likes getting comments, and who likes to try and leave comments as much as possible. If you want to leave a comment because you liked a fic, but aren't sure what to say, try:

-Pointing out particular lines or elements of a story that you liked - the more specific, the better. I often put a lot of thought into little details that readers (seemingly) don't notice, so I like to know when they do.

-Trying to predict a future storyline. As a reader, I like to have a little fun guessing where a story might go, and as a writer, I take great amusement in seeing what people think of the story know and think it might go.

-Expressing hopes for a character or plotline. Easy to do as a reader, and fun to read as a writer.

-Explicitly stating an implication. If something was implied in a story but never explicitly stated, then stating that implication somehow in a comment is a great way of confirming what you read (as a reader), or confirming that the implication came across (as a writer).

-If they accept concrit, then this is also a good place to suggest something they can work on, or emphasize something you would like to see in a story but don't necessarily expect to.

I hope some of these help on your quest to comment more, OP! :)

Re: Rock on, OP. Possible commenting advice?

[(Anonymous)]

These suggestions are PERFECT; thank you for setting these out so clearly.

Re: Rock on, OP. Possible commenting advice?

[(Anonymous)]

As a writer, I heartily second all these suggestions. It's also what I do when I leave comments on other peoples' fics, especially the quoting lines or scenes that really struck me.

Re: Rock on, OP. Possible commenting advice?

[darkmanifest]

Thanks for this, I always try to point out specific lines and elements that impressed me.

OP here

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you for those helpful suggestions.

To everyone else, I hope you all get many comments.

[(Anonymous)]

Yay, OP! \o/ As a fic writer, I appreciate your efforts!

[(Anonymous)]

/yet another author who loves receiving comments

Know that your efforts will be appreciated!

[tabaqui]

Whooooooo! Us writers say 'thank you!' for any and all comments. :)

[(Anonymous)]

Much appreciated, OP!

I'm just sad that more people didn't comment on this secret. It's AWESOME ♥
