Even a short comment or praise or constructive criticism can go a long ways. Might even make someone's day.

If you like something, say it!

The Five Stages of the Writer's Rationality Breakdown Upon Posting/Updating a Fic

The chapter is done, the writer loves it, they reread it in full for the tenth time, it's the best thing they've written yet, they are ready to post it.

They post it. It has been ten seconds since the story/chapter is out. They start refreshing the ao3 statistics page every five seconds. The hits haven't grown, new kudos haven't shown up, there are no comments yet. It has been 25 seconds. The writer knows that if people have clicked to read the story the hits count won't update that information at least a few more minutes, that if someone HAS started to read they won't finish it for at least ten more minutes if the chapter isn't very long. The writer continues refreshing the page.

There are three or four new kudos. The hits show them that the page has been viewed at least five times as many times. There aren't any comments yet. They go to the fic and start rereading it for the eleventh time. They find a spelling mistake, a spot where they missed a change in tenses, and realize that there's a better word they could have used in that one sentence. They fix it with a speed that might make you think they've trying to hide an embarrassing secret.

The kudos count has grown a little more. They feel each kudos like a kiss to their cheek. There are still no comments but they try to be rational about it. It's only been like half an hour. They go off to reread the fic for the twelfth time. It's the worst thing they've ever read, no wonder no one is leaving a comment. The writer knows that it's only that the words in the fic are starting to blur together into a senseless paste. It is the WORST thing they've ever written.

There has been a comment. The reader loved it. The writer is going to smile for a week. They continue refreshing the statistics page, they smile wider and float higher with every new kudos and comment. It's been two hours.

Please leave kudos and comments for the stories you're enjoying. There is a writer on the other side of the screen, who is feeling like a five year old kid showing off their newest drawing to all the adults in their life.

"Of course we will. We're the Okiros. Nothing's going to stop us."

"Some things might. I don't know why I say you should get there, your head's already in the clouds."

"Brother! It's important to dream!"
