Use emojis. 😻 Seriously, I recently added an emoji key to the bottom of my latest fic so people who have comment anxiety can just leave me emojis, and it worked great. People have a lot of fun with them.

Sounds interesting, could you give an example?

No need to link fics or anything, just interested in the key

[esteefee]

it's an SGA fic, so inside jokes a bit:

Comment with an emoji! Here's the key:
😻 = my cat loved it
🤣 = the sex was funny
🤗 = i wanted to squish these two nerds together
🍻 = beers on the pier!

[silverr]

That's adorable! And a creative way to be accommodating to folks with comment anxiety.

Do you change the emojis up for each fandom/fic?

[esteefee]

yup, gotta keep it fun. :) anyway, this is only the second one. people so far respond with pasting or with emojis of their own. it's like they just realized they have permish. 🤸🏻‍♂️

What platform is this on? Can you do this on AO3? What a cool idea!

[esteefee]

Yes, AO3. 👍

I'm also curious about the emoji key?

Aww, that's cute. Thanks!

This is a great idea! Been reading a great fic that doesn't update often and there was a new chapter yesterday. I didn't know what to say so I didn't leave a comment but I'll leave some emojis!

[esteefee]

yeah, I find it fun. :)

OP of comment

[(Anonymous)]

Huh, I've actually seen this a few times before in comments.
To be completely honest, I never knew that all those smilies could actually mean much other than their typed counterparts. This is actually a really good system to encourage comments I think. I know I used to add various typed faces to properly express how I felt about the fics I read as a means to filter them by emotion throughout my bookmarks.

It almost reminds me of the Long Live Feedback Comment Project. Part of which, you'd end/mention the word 'whisper' in your comment to let the author know not to respond to your comment.
I know the comment schematic found some popularity, but the same way I'd worry that the author would assume that I signed the comment with 'Whisper' as a title and not a request, I'd fear that my appreciation wouldn't be as broadly understood if I used emojis to express myself.

Bahh- Regardless, I think my anxiety could find an excuse for anything... I'll definitely try emojis though when I'm at a loss for words, even if they don't have the same key, it's a very great way to say something when all other words seem to fail me;;

Re: OP of comment

[esteefee]

I'm sorry the anxiety is hitting you so hard, but you are a worthy commenter, OP, and it's good of you to try so hard to comment despite your anxiety. 🤗
