THE MISCONCEPTION ABOUT COMMENTING ON FIC
I’ve read all kinds of posts both from writers and readers lamenting about comments on fic. Authors are upset when they don’t get any, readers don’t know what kinds of comments to leave, etc. And it finally clicked in my brain why I think a lot of people don’t bother writing comments.
And this is what it boils down to:
Writers do not want praise. We just want to talk about our story.
I can’t speak for everyone obviously - but I think the majority of writers don’t care so much for the “omg you’re a brilliant writer!!” comments as much as we just want to hear your thoughts on the story. Even if it’s just your thoughts as you’re reading of “oooh x happened! I can’t believe y said this! What’s going to happen now that z has happened?!” We literally just want to talk about what we’ve written like you would with a friend about a tv show. We’re not out here demanding praise like some entitled narcissist.
While praising our writing skills or writing style is appreciated, it doesn’t need to be said on every fic and every chapter that you read. If you regularly comment on someone’s work that’s telling enough that you like our technique. Readers shouldn’t feel pressured to have to praise a writer’s abilities every time they want to comment.
In the grand scheme of things, talking about the fic/chapter is actually more helpful to us writers instead of spewing praise. It’s the same with artwork. As nice as it is that people tell me “wow your art is so pretty!” it’s a LOT more useful to me to get comments like “I love their expressions!” or “the lighting on this is gorgeous!” because then I know WHAT people are liking about it. If no one ever comments on my backgrounds, I now know what to improve. If most people comment on liking the expressions, I now know the strong points of my art and can use it to my advantage to make even better art in the future.
The same goes for fic. If multiple people tell me they liked a certain part of the story I now know that things similar to that are a hit. It’s feedback I can use to improve the story and give my readers more of what they want. Without that I have no idea what they like about the fic.
Talking with a writer about their story also gives them inspiration!! Nothing gets us more in the mood to work on a fic than to have people wanting to talk about it. A lot of times just talking about one of my fics with someone will give me that push to continue working on it. Getting a comment that just says “great chapter” or “you’re a great writer” doesn’t do much to motivate us to continue that particular fic. But if you talk about the story and the characters it gives us motivation to continue working on it, may even give us ideas for future chapters. I would hope that those of you with “comment anxiety” find this approach so much easier than trying to praise the writer every time you read.
So that fic the author hasn’t updated in forever that you’re dying to read? Talk to them about the fic and the elements of the story! It will make the writer want to talk to you about it and will get their mind thinking about it, hopefully inspiring them to continue where they left off. Fics that are left in silence are more likely to be abandoned or even deleted because nothing feels worse than putting your heart into a story to have no one say anything about it.
TLDR; Writers do not want praise, we just want to talk with our readers about the story itself, and these are the kinds of comments that inspire us to keep writing more.
because I don’t want to just be a negative shithead about this show, on a lighter note, please consider: Mac’s ratemyprofessor page
“starts all his lectures with weird quotes. is this a science or philosophy class? 3/5”
“I set my midterm on fire as a ploy to get out of taking it and he gave me extra credit for doing it without a lighter or matches. absolute madman 5/5”
“went to his office hours once and he’s building a whole ass Eiffel Tower out of paperclips in his office. is he, like, okay? 4/5”
“cool guy. stay awake in class and you’ll be fine. 5/5”

oh you’re a writer? how’s doing everything you can to avoid writing going?
I love that when Hook is just being a villain or is using sexuality as a defense mechanism against people more powerful than him he has the whole uncomfortable innuendo and double entendre thing BUT his ACTUAL style of flirtation is intensely earnest and bluntly honest openness about his feelings.
As soon as he decides that he likes Emma his flirtations consist of: Announcing that he likes her Announcing that he’d like to get to know her while staring soulfully into her eyes Drawing her aside to say that he connected emotionally with the point she made about knowing what it’s like to give up hope Telling her that he hopes their kiss meant something to her and that he’s trying to win her heart Etc.
Just bluntly telling her what he feels.

Soulmates are not your ~other half~, that’s just nonsense. You are a whole person already, not half a person. A soulmate isn’t even inherently romantic. A soulmate is just the other sock in a matched set. You’re still a whole, complete sock on your own, you are perfectly functional paired with any other sock, it’s just that it’s even better when you match. A soulmate is literally just the person who makes your soul go “!!! Same hat!!!” and wave excitedly.
miraculous/dp crossover au where hawkmoth tries to akumatize danny fenton by giving him “ghost powers” since danny is so stressed out about his ghost hunter parents wreaking havoc in paris but danny straight up just tilts his head in confusion like “i can do that normally…? why would i do errands for you in exchange for powers i already have…?” and obviously hawkmoth is confused as shit until danny straight up just phases the akuma out of his fenton thermos and hits it with a good ol’ ectoblast

“If you’re Death, then shouldn’t you be off collecting souls or some shit?” The woman snapped her shotgun shut before blowing another zombie clean off its feet. “Well, dipshit, I don’t know if you noticed, but I think it’s pretty obvious that I don’t have a job anymore.”
Being a writer is writing 3,000 words at 4 in the morning and then not touching your work for a month
sad news: staring pitifully at the blank document doesn't make your cool ass story you concocted in your mind appear on it by the power of osmosis.
So I have recently joined the criminal minds fandom and yes I did immediately fall in love with Spencer Reid. Though Derek Morgan is a close second.
I am currently watching Season 7 episode 7, in which the unsub uses tornadoes as part of his killing ritual. And as a native of tornado alley, I HAVE NEVER HEARD ANYTHING MORE MIDWESTERN IN MY LIFE!!!!
