Comments - Tumblr Posts

I love getting comments on Ao3. One of my favorites is someone saying that they love that I'm giving attention to the background staff and characters that don't ever get attention.

My heart flutters every time.

(Little did the commenter know that those background characters in book one are important in book five)

My Heart still does the flutter flutter and it only increases with each comment.

Comments from the same person make me even more happy because that let's me know they're sticking through with my shit.

Comments spur me to write more. Tell me your favorite parts. What parts did you not like? What are your theories? Please, communicate with me. Do you want a beach episode?

IMPORTANT PSA

I told ao3, so now I'm here to tell you all.

I do see your comments and your reblogs, but I don't always respond. I try, but sometimes life just gets in the way or I completely forget for days or weeks. Sometimes, by the time I actually remember or see the comment, it's disrespectful to even respond because it's so late.

There is no such time as too late to respond to comments and reblogs. It may take a while, but most people, I've found, are pretty understanding. At least, that's what I've seen while reading comments on other stories.

Fandom culture is, for some reason, falling back onto this theory that everyone just knows what everyone else is thinking and it's sad. Interaction between everyone who creates and consumes is falling quickly and steadily.

Artists of all kinds are getting kicked in the ass because of the rise of AI creations. We're being kicked while we're down because people are seeing our stuff, we know they are, but they're not communicating with us.

I can guarantee that commenting and rebloging and tagging will motivate artists much more than you think.

I've heard stories (one of them my own) of people giving up on stories or whole art pieces because people weren't communicating or interacting with them.

I've heard stories where people have picked up pieces that they hadn't touched in years because someone commented on their work.

Fandom Culture has become less of a community and more of a consumer base. It's disappointing, to say the least.

I was born in 2004 and raised on old fandoms and fandom culture. I didn't jump into it until 2017, but even then was so much better to post and write because people were leaving comments about their favorite parts or compliments and keyboard smashes.

New people coming into fandom culture aren't getting the true experience that a lot of us grew up on and in. They're coming into a place closer to window shopping than an actual library.

2020 was largely the cause of this when huge amounts of people entered fandom culture because there was nothing else for them to do. But they're not all to blame. We didn't do a good enough job teaching them the proper etiquette. But it's not too late.

Lesson number one is to comment. Never post a hate comment and never give critique unless it's asked for.

I went to sleep with 0 comments, and I woke up with 31????

HuhI????

Guys, guys!

I grinned the entire time I read and answered them! I love talking to people. I love that you like talking to me.

31 comments on a single chapter is the most I've gotten in such a short amount of time.

You have no idea how happy I am right now

Comment from the following story: What's the nastiest thing you've ever seen in the subway?

Stuff like this is why I always read the comments at Gawker. No other website gets this distinction (blogs are exempt from this rule). This particular comment caught my eye because it has so much: a narrator (commenter), a villain (damn hipster!), an anti-hero (tiny puking asian man) and a movie like quality (check that last line. It's like a cherry on top).

I always read the comments here because there's just so much gold. Mostly because the commenters, like the writers, tend to be smart and funny and sarcastic. Partially because the first dickhead to spit out a youtube style comment ("1st!!1!!" "FAKE!!!") will get devoured like the last piece of fried chicken in the ghetto. I appreciate that sort of spirit in an internet community. It's a sign of quality.

Tgs comments that i screenshotted. most are of our lord Paul

I need Spotify to have a comment section so I can tell whoever made this Hannibal playlist that they've torn out my heart!!😭 (It's the best playlist I've heard🤭<3)

Found on YouTube last night 👀👀👀

why does she hate being chubby?

It's not that I hate it... but my family started to point it out constantly how my body kept changing as I was growing up. Even if they meant well, worrying about my health, it just came out as mean pointers to me.

Ugg tumblr won’t let me comment! Anyone else having this issue?

I am once again asking for anonymous questions/thoughts about the kinky, taboo, fetish, you name it.

The body you read stories about. The body that people sin for. A body to die for.

Golden Rules for Fanfiction Readers:

if the fic already has a thousand comments, comment still. Your comment will still matter and delight the author.

if a fic is a decade old and the author hasn’t been active in the last five years, comment still. There will come a time when the author will read and cherish your comment, or maybe it will motivate them enough to start writing again. You never know!

if the author never responds to comments, comment still. Interaction with the author is a very nice bonus, but you can be sure that even if the author doesn’t answer, they will read it and enjoy it at some point

there’s no such thing as a too long comment.

there’s no such thing as a too incoherent comment.

the author will give no flying fuck about any gramatical errors, typo or other misspellings. If you’re a non-native speaker struggling to express themselves, you can be sure the author will be all the more pleased that you surmounted the language barrier to let them know you appreciated their work. Don’t be afraid!

there’s no such thing as commenting too often.

you will never, ever come across as creepy by obsessing over a fic or an author to the point where you worry the author might think you’re a stalker. On the contrary, the author will be delighted by your investment in their work.

say thank you. It’s always appreciated to see readers acknowledge the work and commitment that is put into writing.

the floaty review box (ao3 add-on) is your friend

be positive and encouraging. Positive reviews make writers all warm and glowy from the inside, bashing plunge their soul into icy darkness. You want the first, not the second!

whoever you are, if you read their fic, YOU are IMPORTANT to the author. Let them know you’re there!

(if any author wants to contradict one of those rules, please let me know!)

Ah yes, the Razor Crest and the Slave 1, true marvels of modern technology!

So, is anyone else unbearably angry with people on the internet? I watch some of my tv shows on a “special” website (called bflix) and every time I scroll down, it makes me so angry. I watch Superman and Lois on there, and the amount of annoying people that go in the comments to hate on the show is overwhelming. There’s too much negativity, and opinions I disagree with. Yeah, yeah, I know, I should stop looking. Lol. Anyway, humans make me mad, bye for now!

What do you mean there’s comments on ao3 that you have to approve?? What is that about?

Me when I'm in a "thinking being passive aggressive is a personality trait" competition and my opponent is a 16-22 y/o white girl who does e-girl adjacent makeup, and condescendingly uses the words "babes", "bestie", "hope this helps!" and the ":)" emoji as if she's the "edgier" equivalent of a stereotypically mean girl from a Disney Channel show.
