Re: Do you comment on fics?

(Anonymous) 2024-05-17 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
I try to-- sometimes I don't have it in me, and I might not always remember to go back and comment later, though sometimes I go back once I have my thoughts in order. (and of course if I don't like a fic I just don't comment, but I really like to say something when I like a fic)

My thoughts aren't always VERY in order, there's a lot of just "alskdjakl I love this!" or "thank you for writing/sharing!"-- it's totally okay if you don't have any deep thoughts but you want to let the writer know how much you liked something. If I can think of a favorite line or part, I'll say "my favorite part was (x)!" because when I'm a writer, I love to know what people's favorite parts were, and if I liked the whole thing too much to choose I might say I couldn't pick one favorite bit.

ONCE recently I wrote someone a whole ass ESSAY about why I loved their fic for one of my rarepairs and we're new friends now, so like... it's really rewarding when you can use the comments to connect to someone who sees things the way you do! But it never has to be that deep-- as a writer, I love just knowing someone cared enough to string a few words together about it. Maybe it's a keysmash, or an "I wish I could leave kudos again" on a second or third chapter. Or an "I'm re-reading this fic", which lets someone know you liked it enough to come back and read all over again. It doesn't have to be a long thing that leads to a back-and-forth conversation to be super meaningful to the person who gets it.
