people always talk about leaving comments on ao3 like it's a nice thing to do, or the best way to encourage writers to keep writing, or overall like it's how you Do Your Part in fandom

and yeah, all those things are true, but having spent the past few months leaving enthusiastic comments on as many things as i can, i have a different perspective

you should leave comments on fics because it's fun

taking the time to stop and focus on what i like about a story has made me way more aware of what's going on in stories and what i like about them. there's bit more actual comprehension and appreciation and not just beaming content into my eyes to fill time

i like noticing cool little things in fics, or riffing on funny events. i've never been very good at speculating or picking apart characters, but sometimes something clicks and it rocks.

and of course it's pretty nice when you get a response and it's clear you've made another person happy

so yeah, you should leave comments for your own sake, too. it makes reading better!

#fanfiction #i have a massive ongoing message with an author bc i 'read with the focus of someone finishing their English Literature degree' and my #comments reflect that lol #(ongoing message i need to reply to actually bc its been a few months? 💀) anyway authors love when you do that! #and as a reader it's validating having the author respond! #archive of our own

Anastasia 1997 is such a funny movie in that it's opening sequence is like, "the Romanovs died because rasputin put a curse on them AND NO OTHER REASON DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHY THE ROMANOVS ARE DEAD OKAY IT WAS RASPUTIN"

#like taking away context... enjoyable. INCREDIBLE soundtrack 10/10 ignore the riots #anastasia

Create a monster, and I will show you your reflection 

Night has fallen. Lightning crackles in the sky above. It is time for you to create an abomination. But what manner of horror will spring from your hands?

Whoever invented "open in app" links that redirect you to the app store instead of actually opening the app even when you already have the app installed on your phone should be involuntarily turned into a beanbag chair

#i dont understand why phones do this! please work on things like this not 'perfecting' AI! #technology #me

horrible news: in order for you to finish a wip, you have to work on that wip and not the 2543524 other wips you were brainrotting over instead of that one. more investigations at 7.

#writing #great news! with focus and tears if you make yourself finish one fic at a time you can have a finished fic. and then work on the next! #more incentives at 8 #fanfiction

I wondered why green is so associated with hope and then I remembered being 8 and seeing a little plant sprout after a few days of waiting and. Yeah. I get it now.

sorry to post facebook videos on main but the sound of jello going through an industrial shredder is both mesmerizing and horrible

New idea: instead of writing the fic, you come over to my house and I tell you the entire plot while I pace my tiny kitchen. There’s a cup of tea, warm in your hands. The words don’t stop and the affection never leaves your expression.

#brambleberrycottage #this is emotionally what happens whenever i tell you via text about my newest fic idea #friendship #fanfiction
