Re: Secrets you don't want to make...

[(Anonymous)]

I wish that comments made by the author themselves wouldn't count towards the overall comment tally on AO3.

I know people who don't answer any comment they get (which is fair!) and others answer every comment (also fair!).
I personally always kinda feel like I'm inflating my comment count when I answer a comment or say thank you.

Doesn't that make the 'search by comments' function kind of useless or at least less useful? At least that's the reason why I never use it.

I really wish there was a way to tag "we're just having a conversation here that we don't mind having where other people can read this interesting stuff the author has to say about stuff that didn't fit into the main plot" in the comments. And turn off the counter for that thread. Because the point is not inflating the numbers, but there isn't a good way to do that, currently, on AO3. So I either wind up exchanging emails and hearing about cool stuff that other people who read the fic would also probably have fun reading, or feeling self-conscious about the fact that the AO3 is treating each comment exchanged like "popularity boost" with authors who are not trying to have a competition with the rest of what's in their fandom.
