Re: Fanfic Writers! How would you feel if someone posted a comment to tell you about a typo?

I've been on both sides of it before, and TL;DR, I appreciated it and the people I've pointed errors out to also appreciated it.

On the writer, I made a grammatical error and didn't realize the way I'd phrased it made the sentence sound like something else. I was actually glad the reader pointed it because it gave me a better understanding of the English language. If I make a mistake, I definitely want to know so I can learn from it.

On the commenter side, a writer accidentally used the wrong character's name in one sentence, and I really loved the rest of the fic, so I was able to bury the lede and say, "OMG LOVE IT, but also this one tiny thing is not right." I felt kind of bad, but they were super nice about it and changed it right away.
