Feedback culture is dead, long live feedback culture!

AO3, fanfiction, and comments: the system isn’t working.

Fic authors have a problem with feedback – or rather, with the lack of it. Fanfiction has a notoriously low ratio of comments to hits, and many of us have expressed our frustration that we can get a hundred, two hundred, five hundred, even a thousand views on our stories, but only a handful of readers will leave kudos, let alone comments.

Unfortunately, this only gets worse for long, multi-chapter stories (aka, the longfics we know, love, and would sell our souls in a second if it meant an update), which also happen to be the stories that authors need the most support to continue and complete. Law of diminishing returns, y’all, and it sucks.

We’re not here to guilt you into leaving comments. We want to address the problem by changing the format, and we need your help to do it.

The goal is to increase the amount of feedback authors get from readers, especially on stories with multiple chapters, and to make it easier for everyone to show how much we love fics. We’re opening a discussion with ao3 to figure out how/if any of these options can be implemented, but first we need options to present!

Some of our current ideas:

Ability to leave a form of kudos on every chapter, instead of only once on the entire story: this lets authors know that you’re here and you’re reading their updates, so their hard work isn’t getting tossed into the internet void.

Comment templates: suggested comments that can be customized or posted as-is. Many of us draw a blank or get nervous when we try to think of a comment, so having pre-made options will both increase the total level of feedback and serve as practice, making it easier to leave more in-depth comments in the future.

Upvoting/leaving kudos on comments themselves: positive reinforcement makes giving feedback more fun and rewarding, and it lets the author know that readers are present and agreeing with other comments, even if they don’t leave one themselves.

We’ll contact AO3 to discuss the possibility of adding any of these as native features, and if that won’t work, we’re looking into creating and sharing a user script.

What you can do to help:

As a reader, what would you like to have? What would you be most likely to use? New ideas, opinions on ideas that are listed here, they’re all good.

As a creator, how would you feel about each of these options? Can you think of other ways of receiving or encouraging feedback?

Pros and cons of these (note: our thoughts on this are discussed in this google doc)

GET THE WORD OUT! Reblog this post, send it to your friends, link to it from your stories. We need as much input and support as possible to get this off the ground.

Feedback makes for happy authors. Happy authors make for more stories. Let’s keep this part of fandom alive!

More details about our thoughts, discussions, and ideas can be found in this google doc.

wow, changing the format itself to facilitate comments! and interesting and rad way to go about helping authors

honestly I still think it’d be super rad to have a floating comment box on the side so that you can comment on different parts as you go, but I super like these options a lot!!! I especially like the kudos every chapter and upvoting other comments. I think that would be super helpful.

Shit we are close to being number 3 come on guys

#HEY HEY #GO VOTE

I love 2d but I feel like you would need a lot of strength to keep him as a long term bf lmao the poor boy is far from perfect but that is okay

I think a lot of strength is needed to keep any relationship tbh there’s a lot of effort needed by both parties and even when you get along seamlessly, it doesn’t mean there won’t be an issue you disagree with or there won’t be strained moments where you’re like “What am i doing it’s so much easier to be alone” ya feel?

I get what you mean about it being a little difficult to stay with him tho it’d probably be worth it in the end because he’s not a bad person at heart, just made a lot of bad choices and fell deeper down the rabbit hole

#I'm not exactly sure what part of a relationship with him you'd think is difficult but it's fine #relationships can really take a lot of emotional and mental strength to keep for certain people #Messages #Anonymous

I can't believe baby is 39 😭😭😭😭😭

I think 2D is the type of boyfriend to bring you breakfast in bed but the eggs are overdone and your toast is burnt but he’s got such happy puppy dog eyes because he did this unprompted cute thing for you that you have to eat every bite in front of him to make him feel happy and appreciated
