AND YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT TO FREAK OUT GODDAMN THIS WRITER IS SO MWAH I ABSOLUTELY GET YOU

IM HAVING PALPITATIONS OH GOD WHAT IS THIS REAL WHAT IS HAPPENING

one step ahead of you, I reblogged because I knew you were aurory_borealis from ao3 and followed you for the same reason AND I guessed this was about the comments section

IM CACKLING MUMBAIKARS UNITE

i wrote an one-shot au for the archer and the knight where apollo and rhea start dating a bit after the titan war itself. will post later today.

yes, @tujhse-raabta it's the one i mentioned on discord.

I did it. this is literally bollywood + taylor swift, but that's their whole vibe so.

feeling like making a playlist for rhea and apollo.

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!
