105) I used to worry about my reputation and what my friends would think if they knew I commented on a fic that was not up to some arbitrary standard -- but you know what? I don't care anymore. I'll comment if I like something and I take each story on its own merits. Don't be embarrassed about your comment -- you got genuine enjoyment, and that's all that matters.
113) I know that when you finish, there will be a lot of people looking forward to reading your story. Long fics are rare, and I know lots of people who love that pairing to death. Keep going.
119) I can only conclude from this that you are a young teen. Just because you think a symbol is pretty doesn't mean you can use it without some sensitivity to its meaning. I'd suggest if you don't want to be mistaken for a gay activist, you switch to hearts and flowers and gemstones. They are colorful and pretty, too, and don't come with any cultural baggage.
142) *cough*Graphic Novels*Cough* No actually, it does convey some useful information to know if it comes from Japan or the US or Korea -- the type of story and characters you encounter is surprisingly different depending on what culture the artist is steeped in. All drawn media =/= equal even if it looks superficially similar.
