[howelldaniel]

There’s a fic on fanfiction(.)net that I’ve kept tabs on for years to see if it’s been updated or not. While I’m no longer even in the fandom it’s written for, it just has one of the greatest storylines I’ve ever read. Last time it was updated was 2011.

The other day, I decided to reread the entire thing and leave a very in-depth review of what I thought of each chapter. I also mentioned how I started reading it when I was 13 and am now 21, but always came back to see if it was ever finished because I loved it so dearly.

Today, said author sent me a private message saying that her analytics showed that the story was still getting views even after all these years, but no one ever bothered to leave reviews other than “update soon!!!”, so she never felt motivated enough to finish it. She said that me reviewing every single chapter with lengthy paragraphs made her cry and meant the world to her. She also mentioned that she felt encouraged to write the two remaining chapters needed to complete the story and that she would send me a message the night before she updates the fic.

I’m literally sobbing. I’m so excited :’)

Please always remember to leave a review when reading fanfiction!!! It means a lot to a writer.

[thesparkles59-deactivated201811]

Seriously, this is what keeps us going; YOUR COMMENTS. 

[ashleyfanfic]

And you think my ranting about it is just being salty! It’s not! Reviews can mean the difference between feeling motivated and feeling out of place.

[helly-watermelonsmellinfellon]

It’s how I finished a fic after it sitting unfinished for half a year. Got a long ass review that gave me ideas and then I wrote the last chapter.

[softestvirgil]

This is so true and so important

[dean-cas-in-the-impala]

This is why I always ask my readers to leave comments. You don’t understand how important it is.

[kyraa-arts]

L: Natsu… when you defeat zeref .. you.. -you will…

N: Will I have the power to protect the ones I love?

ahhhh the feelings in the last fight killed meeeee (ಥ﹏ಥ)

That scene we’ve seen in so many fanfics and doujinshis is finally cannon, and I’m not being able do deal with it. It’s sad, and exciting and funny

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!)

i literally still go back and read comments on my years old stories all the time, just makes me feel good when im sad 

[letmefacemyfears]

i still think hayden was robbed of a chance to bring some serious emotional depth to kairi, a character she loved playing and had voiced multiple times over ten years, and while i love alyson as xion I’ll always be angry she replaced hayden and in this essay i will-

Why the KH-KH2 Destiny Trio is the best human trio

Putting aside the classic Disney Trio of Mickey/Donald/Goofy which isn’t a KH-exclusive trio, or the Sora/Donald/Goofy trio which is THE best trio in the series bar none, the Destiny Trio of Sora/Riku/Kairi as portrayed in KH, CoM and KH2 is the best human trio the series has ever had, and ever will have for that matter.

And appropriately, there are three big reasons for this.

1. They pass the “Show, Don’t Tell” Rule.

Sora, Riku and Kairi’s friendship isn’t just constantly talked about by them or by other characters in order to convince us it’s real. We actually get to see it first-hand. We see them living two ordinary days in their lives before the adventure that separates them starts up, and we can grasp how close they are and what their dynamic is very easily simply by what’s shown to us. This was also a reason why the Roxas/HPO friendship in KH2 was so effective as opposed to the Roxas/Axel friendship - we see it, we aren’t just told about it. They get to just be good friends rather than talk about what good friends they are to the point where it seems there are guns to their heads.  In the finale of KH2 especially, we see how they’d truly do anything for one another, because they are true friends who love each other.

2. They each have their own development arc.

Sora, who has some insecurities about who he is and about growing up that he masks with a positive disposition, gets to learn what growing up really means and decides that he’s OK with it and accepts who he is, only to tragically have his psyche shattered and put back together again, the aftereffects being something he struggles with for the rest of his adventure but he ultimately comes out triumphing over all the challenges that are thrown his way. 

Riku, who masks his insecurities with cool bravado and an insistence on being the best, falls to darkness when his own vision of who he is and what it means to grow up is threatened, doing terrible things and realizing the error of his ways too little, too late to avoid the consequences. He grapples with those consequences and their effect on him for the remainder of the story, until he finally finds the road to true redemption, his rekindled friendship with Sora and Kairi ultimately saving him from his depression and self-loathing.

Kairi, the only one who can’t fully mask her insecurities and anxiety despite her best perky attempts, has to face everything she fears head-on when reduced to a heart and staying within Sora’s heart, through the ensuing journey learning some key truths and coming to terms with her life changing and her friends being separated from her, knowing that her heart is always connected to their’s and that the light in the darkness will never go out. But eventually she realizes she’s taking the lessons she’s learned too far to the point of passivity, and that she needs to play an active part in steering her life the way she wants it to be. And once she starts doing so, she gets hooked on it and vows to keep on this newfound path alongside her friends.  

Not all of these arcs are written ideally, but they’re there all the same.

3. They all compliment each other beautifully.

Their names mean Sky, Land and Sea, the three components that make up their home of Destiny Islands. Their personalities all have strengths and weaknesses that balance one another out. Even their character designs seem to blend perfectly alongside each other. They also fit perfectly in a team with Mickey, Donald and Goofy. 

No other human trio Nomura has conceived of since compares, and that we lost this Destiny Trio in favor of them is infuriating to me. 

[freezeprides]

I see your “Ienzo is a millennial and is a certified meme lord” and I raise you “Ienzo was raised by 5 older not-millennials, has never seen a meme in his life, and would most certainly fall for updog”

[freezeprides]

Kairi: —so this thing you’re working on, it’s like updog?

Ienzo: ??? Kairi, what is ‘updog’?

Kairi, yelling out the door: LEA GET IN HERE I TOLD YOU I COULD DO IT—

One Week of Danger (T) by Cervella

The only thing she remembers about her Father is that he’s strong and has a fairy on his body, that narrows it down to every male in Fairy Tail… hold on she said strong, maybe about half the males then. What’s Fairy Tail to do now?

-A03 stories-

Flame’s Desire (M) by Rougescribe

Of Dragons and Gods (T) by Gemini888

Lucy Heartfilia: Fairy Tail’s resident Celestial Spirit Mage who is currently in love with the Guild’s own Fire Dragon Slayer.

Natsu Dragneel: One of Fairy Tail’s aces; a powerhouse Mage that is more than conflicted and confused about his feelings for Lucy.

Suberashi: A ancient, powerful, and fabled Guild straight from legends. Only, now, it’s no longer fabled, nor does ‘just a children’s fairy tale’ quite fit the reality of their sudden presence.

With Natsu unintentionally hurting Lucy emotionally and with Suberashi’s sudden interest in her, will she leave Fairy Tail and accept their offer to give her the powers of a ‘God.’

what’s the big deal? (Explicit) by julamei

Natsu’s sexual awakening is… clumsy and awkward, obviously. The poor boy has purposefully remained ignorant of these more mundane, human miracles. that is, until something happens he can’t ignore and things between him and Lucy being to grow. Here is my headcannon on their journey around the bases (hopefully this reflects more our own experiences than just our need for fulfillment for these characters).

A Lesson for Natsu (M) by aeotae
