Quick and Easy Guide to Commenting on Ao3
Step 1: COMMENT.
Seriously, that is the biggest thing. Kudos are nice, but fundamentally are a mark of “Someone read this” rather than a specific comment.
DO NOT OVERTHINK COMMENTS.
As long as you are not a) insulting the work or the author or b) posting nonsense, you are fine! The author will be happy to recieve your comment, and they are just like you – not gonna misinterpret every little thing intentionally.
Examples of what not to comment:
a) “I hated this and you clearly have never read the source material.”
b) “My next door neighbor hates me”, “You should check out my Instagram for great videos!”
Don’t be a dick and don’t be spam. If you are talking about and being positive about the fic you read, you’re good!
K. Cool. Onto the guide!
Different ways to easily write and leave comments:
- While reading, if a line jumps out at you as very good, copy it to your clipboard. When you get to the end of the fic or chapter, paste it and react with anything from an emoji, a “lol” or “hahaha”, “screaming”, or a bit of analysis saying why you enjoyed the line.
- If no specific lines jump out at you, comments can be short and sweet “extra kudos”, “loved this”, “great fic”, “thanks for writing”, “this fic kept me company on my train ride, and I loved it!”. OR they can be a little longer, elaborating on what you liked “you captured the voices really well”, “I was on the edge of my seat”, “your descriptions are really rich, I could see the settings you described”. Or a mix of both.
- For an even shorter, but STILL WONDERFUL comment, drop a couple heart emojis. I know one person who comments a small string of heart emojis on every new chapter of one of my fics, and it makes me smile every time. NOTE: Limit yourself to 5 emojis. Do Not put a whole paragraph’s worth of them. It’s not getting any extra information across, and it’s not great for screenreaders, I understand.
- For a long comment, let’s say you really loved this work or this chapter. The two main kinds of long comment are the Live Reaction, which involves pulling a bunch of lines to quote back and react to in the comment (pulling them either as you read, pasting into your comment or a memo note, or after you’re done, going back through and pulling lines you remember standing out), or the Long Analysis, which involves explaining in some detail what you liked about the story and writing, predictions if it’s a wip, where your mind is going.
(That last one is what you should think about doing for your gift fic in an exchange.)
COMMENTS ARE LIFE. They do not have to be grand or long or difficult to write. You do not have to overthink them. But comments are what makes an author feel appreciated, feel like people are really reading their work. If you find an old fic or a wip or an abandoned wip, COMMENT. If you want to encourage an author to keep writing, comments are how to do it.
This author just wrote something for you for free, give them a comment.
I have a rule with myself that I comment on every work I read. Unless I really don’t enjoy it or don’t finish it, that work is getting a comment. It’s the least I can do.
And do not worry about “spam commenting”. If you are working your way through an author’s work, they will be very excited to receive your comments! Ao3 is an Archive, not instragram or whatever (I do not have instagram, so I don’t really know the etiquette there). There is no taboo against reading old works. In fact, you SHOULD read old works.

CageBlade Week 2026
Five years! We've been doing this for five years, can you believe it?? So without further ado, the info for the the Fifth Annual CageBlade Week! We couldn't have done it without you, and as part of that, we have a banner this year that includes art from two artists*, @agapidraws and @2tunafish. CageBlade Week is all about the community, and we received permission to use these pieces of fanart for the banner from the artists.
Event Info
Dates: 15-21 June 2026 (Mon-Sun)
All forms of fanworks will be accepted - fanfic, fanart, gifset, playlist whatever it may be!
If we somehow missed your post after the end of the event, let us know so we can reblog it! We might be a little slow on the day-to-day but we don’t want to miss anything. The only things we won’t be reblogging are NSFW with minors and explicit noncon. We will reblog late posts.
Make sure to tag your posts with #cagebladeweek (within the first 5 tags, thanks algorithm) and/or @ this blog so we can find and reblog everything.
Participate one day or every day - it doesn’t matter! If you post on an external site (AO3, FFN, DeviantArt) please at least drop a link here so we can reblog it and promote it. There will be an AO3 Collection started closer to the date.
Prompts:
Day 1: bruises/treasure
Day 2: denial/darkness
Day 3: AU of Choice
Day 4: enthusiasm/dawn
Day 5: sleep/mirror
Day 6: future/legacy
Day 7: Free Day!

Dei Beta-ing
If you need a beta (turnaround time depending!), I might be able to help. **Fandoms I Can Read For:** * Mortal Kombat (games continuities, movie continuities, about the only thing I'm shaky on is the webseries) * Apothecary Diaries/Kusuriya no Hitorigoto (LNs up through 16, anime) * A Song of Ice & Fire (book series, **not** the show) including all the novellas, etc. * Baldur's Gate 3 * Bridgerton (books or TV) * He-Man & the Masters of the Universe * She-Ra & the Princesses of Power * Miraculous Ladybug * original works * anything I've written for on AO3 **What I Can Do:** * SPAG - spelling, punctuation, grammar, copyediting stuff * dev edit stuff (tone, pacing, structure, characterization, flow, etc.) * canon compliance (characterization, timeline, references) * smut/erotica, including kink **What I Can't Do:** * if you have questions about ships, shoot an ask or a message! * bashing or character assassination fics (this may be subjective; you have a right to write it, but I also have a right to opt out) * NSFW with underage characters, parent/child, or teacher/student dynamics
**Notes:** * the more editing you want, the longer I will take. If you want dev edits, and copy/line edits, that's a lot longer than "is my characterization for Teela on point?" * I can explain reasons why I'm suggesting the thing, or just suggest changes; my beta/editing MO is "this is to help you learn so you get more confident, and I don't have to necessarily like what you're writing to help it be the best version of itself". If we find we have a fundamental disagreement on "what would be the best version of itself" or come across something that's a line for me, I have no compunctions about stepping away from the story so you can find a better match. * I am ship-and-let-ship, aka pro-shipping (it stands for "pro" as in "in favor of"). **How To Reach Me:** Got questions? Want to know if I can help you? Drop an ask (esp. if you want clarification on something, anon is fine!) or a message.
