not to be "comment on fanfic even if they are oooold"
But I just read a pretty good fic published in 2014-2015 (you know, roughly TEN YEARS AGO) and I was like, damn this is so cool, I have to leave a comment, even if you know, they probably wont see it...
The author replied less than an hour later.
Reblog if you're a writer who re-reads their own work for funsies.
microfic monday
MATSUKAWA/DAICHI • haikyuu • FIRST KISS, for @jadehqknb
today has actually been hectic at work so it took a little longer to kickstart this week’s microfic monday, but i’m finishing out the shift by slamming through some 💗 this one has been waiting for a hot sec – sorry, friend!! 😭 jade asked for matsudai and so here i am haha
20 Low effort meaningful comments to leave on fics when you can’t think of anything to say that most authors love and appreciate (and you will too).
1.) Thank you for writing this!
2.) This really helped distract me from the horrors of reality, thank you for writing it!
3.) I really really really loved this.
4.) <3
5.) Literal keyboard mash q3kjt2uh0erjiurjfnejkrgnkejoiiueirnf!!!!
6.) My favorite part was when they ____.
7.) I laughed at ____.
8.) How dare you! /affectionate.
9.) I am very excited to read this story in its entirety!
10.) I really enjoyed the first __ chapters, I cannot wait for more!
11.) This gave me everything I was hoping for!
12.) 10/10 fic, thanks for writing!
13.) I am going to be thinking about this fic for a long time, thank you for writing!
14.) This made me feel a lot of emotions and I cannot describe them, so thank you for that. I really enjoyed this.
15.) This was the best ride I haven taken in a long time, wow! Thank you for writing this.
16.) If I had the ability to bind this as a real book I would, I loved it so much.
17.) I'm not good with words but I just loved this so much.
18.) This is complete perfection.
19.) I am in awe of how you described ____.
20.) This means so much to me that you wrote this. Thank you.
The more you comment, the better you will get at it and the more enjoyment and fulfillment you will received out of saying thank you.
Just saying, these wonderful things work for books too. If you don't know what to say for a review (which are SO SO SO IMPORTANT in this hellscape especially for indies!!!) any of these are great! including the "can't wait for more" if it's a series or the author is just. Writing more lol. Which your reviews help so much with!
#Writing#PLEASE leave review on books the way you would on fics!#I'm begging lol it's so important I can't even say
Adding--every algorithm runs on comments. Amazon, WebToons, literally Instagram & TikTok, etc. This means stories that get comments get recommended to more people and stories that don't fade into oblivion. If you're reading something, please comment. Even on sites without algorithms (or with custom algorithms), comments are often the only thing that keeps writers going, especially when authors can't meet readers irl. I've been able to do a lot of in-person events since 2022, but prior to that, I almost gave up writing many times because I didn't think anyone cared. Over *10,000* people have read my books according to Goodreads, and I thought no one cared because I heard from people so infrequently. PLEASE TELL PEOPLE YOU LOVE THEIR WORK.
Please don't use the Patreon app on any iPhone. Apple is charging Patreon users an additional 30% fee.
Patreon is the main source of income for many creators and not everyone can afford an extra 30% on top of what they're already paying.
This is 100% corporate greed and it hurts all of us. If you can avoid using the iPhone Patreon please do so.
Hank Green made a video about this kind of thing! But yes, the TL;DW is subscribe to stuff using a browser if at all possible! Otherwise either you or the creator/company you're subscribing to is getting screwed over.
hey what the fuck
Use the site, not the app!! Please!!
Use site not app.
HI JADE 💗💗💗 sending you all the love and also jotted down the prompt for microfic monday down and am rubbing my hands together with glee over it🥰 i’ve literally only had like three hq ones total so i’m EXCITED and then doubly so to do it for you 💓💓💓
Awww you are such a sweetie! I’m so glad you’re excited for it. 🫂
hot artists don't gatekeep
I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard
Floorplanner. Design and furnish a house for you to use for having a consistent background in your comic or anything! Free, you need an account, easy to use, and you can save multiple houses.
Comparing Heights. Input the heights of characters to see what the different is between them. Great for keeping consistency. Free.
Magma. Draw online with friends in real time. Great for practice or hanging out. Free, paid plan available, account preferred.
Smithsonian Open Access. Loads of free images. Free.
SketchDaily. Lots of pose references, massive library, is set on a timer so you can practice quick figure drawing. Free.
SculptGL. A sculpting tool which I am yet to master, but you should be able to make whatever 3d object you like with it. free.
Pexels. Free stock images. And the search engine is actually pretty good at pulling up what you want.
Figurosity. Great pose references, diverse body types, lots of "how to draw" videos directly on the site, the models are 3d and you can rotate the angle, but you can't make custom poses or edit body proportions. Free, account option, paid plans available.
Line of Action. More drawing references, this one also has a focus on expressions, hands/feet, animals, landscapes. Free.
Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.
Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here's a site to avoid that! It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.
I hope every writer who sees this writes LOADS the next few months. Like freetime opens up, no writers block, the ability to focus, etc etc you’re able to write loads & make lots of progress <3

someone I follow on the bird app just announced they're starting a very exclusive private fic server because they and a bunch of other people want to talk about how much they love the fics they're reading, and as an author can I just say that a really great place to talk about a fic you love is in the comments for that fic
I understand that people are trying to create safe spaces, but as the number of comments that I get on my fics dwindles with each passing year, knowing these spaces exist where my fics are being discussed, places that I am excluded from, makes me want to write fic LESS
I mean I guess who cares, right, because if I stop writing, there's 10,000 other people that will continue...but if you participate in a fic "book club" server and you say nice things there about a fic you loved, maybe copy and paste that into a comment on AO3?
the only thing fanfic writers are asking for in return for hours of hard work is attention. please don't rob us of the one thing that we hope for when we hit "post"
Baby, it's cold outside.
