🎼🎶All I want for Yuletide is a comment on my fic!🎶🎄🎁🎅
Starting from tomorrow, throughout December, anyone who leaves a comment on one of my fics, I’m will read and comment on one of their stories too.
Fandom, characters, content, or length of your fic doesn’t matter. Everything is welcome. I have very few squicks.
If you take the time to read any of my writings and leave me a comment, I promise to read at least one chapter, or one-shot of yours, and leave a comment in return!
The whole point of this exchange is trying to re-capture the sense community we have lost, to uplift each other, celebrate fanfiction written by real passionate fans, and make each other smile.
Rules:
1 comment = 1 comment in return.
comment on any drabble, one-shot, ficlet, or chapter of a long fic.
comments can be anything - on the characterisation. On the style. On the plot. Quote one line you liked. Or just send love and thanks for being a real person commenting on fanfic.
No AI. Please do not feed my work into one of those infernal machines in order to generate a comment. Only real comments by real people are welcome.
No guest comments. I have them turned off, and anyway, how can I comment on your work if you are not logged in?
comments do not have to be long. They don’t have to be super detailed. They can only be a keyboard smash, or bunch of emojis if you like. The point is comment! Comments for everyone! By real people! Not bots!
I’m a very eclectic writer, there should be something for everyone here. Links to my works are below:
Mass Effect
Mass Effect: Absolution - my magnum opus. 21 chapters (two or three more in the works) canon-compliant oc companion fic that runs concurrent with the events of ME2, 3, and beyond. Canon levels of sex and violence, rated Mature.
The Dark Sentinel - 100 word drabble featuring my turian AI oc, Emrys. And he’s a real AI in the sci-fi sense. Not to be confused with the fake writing and art stealing machines that the tech-bros like to call AI.
Corda-Capta - Castis Vakarian/Adrien Victus, post ME3 - two chapters - Explict.
Depths of the Soul - Hanar OC/Human OC - one shot. Explict.
The End of it All - Garrus Vakarian/FemShep, post ME3 synthesis ending dark Shakarian. Three chapters. Major angst with a happy ending. Explicit.
No Data Available - FemShep/Legion, three chapters. Original edition complete with freaky body-shock robot sex scenes (inspired by matriculated) - or sfw edition that’s a little tamer. Explicit.
Friends with Large and Multiple Benefits - Wrex/FemShep - one shot. Extended Citadel dlc casino scene. Explicit.
Encounters with Archangel - two chapters of non-gender-specific reader-insert with our favourite turian bad boy. Explicit.
Goodbye, My Heart - turian oc, one perfect chapter of the ‘there was only one bed’ trope - non-gender specific reader insert, set during the First Contact incident. Explicit.
Starfield
In Silent Orbit - I’d forgotten that I wrote this one! Weird that I only wrote one fic for Starfield when I have spent so many hours playing, and have so many plot bunnies for this game. Oh, well. It’s a Yumi/Spacefarer fic, canon compliant. One chapter of absolute tooth-rotting romantic fluff. Rated Mature.
Legacy of Kain
The Darkest Heart - Raziel/Janos Audron, five chapters - dark, vampiric, enemies-to-lovers-to-canon-compliant-murderous-bastards, p-w-a huge amount of plot. Set during the Sarafan era. Explicit.
The Hollowed - very short, first-person one-shot, from the point of view of a human who has been a victim of the soul reaving wraith, Raziel. Explicit.
Ghost (The Band)
The Sundering - Cardinal Copia/Papa Emritus III, modern-medieval au take on the band’s split, set before the rise of Cardinal Copia to Papa IV. Ridiculously geeky, full of lore references, lyric quotes and rodent themed poetry. Features a jester-Special Ghoul (totally my favourite character). Three chapters. Explicit.
🎄Happy reading and commenting, and blessed Yule! 🎄
I got my (now 18-year-old) daughter into Ao3 back in 2021. I taught her she should always comment - even if the fic looks old or abandoned or whatever. She did.
Well - she got this email this morning:
The fic was written in 2014 and essentially abandoned.
Bethy read and reviewed in 2021 (and was actually the only person who had commented at all).
Today in 2025 - the final chapter was posted by the author and this was her reply to Bethy’s comment.

Never question whether a fic is too old to comment on.
If you want me to write a sequel. If you want me to continue an old fic. Even if it’s 5 years old. If you want me to write something. The best way THE BEST WAY to get me to do that, is comment and compliment me. And then ask nicely. And in like 3-4 business weeks, you’ll get what you wished for.
Hey guys! I was thinking of starting this fanfiction called All the Right Moves and it's pretty much about the main character, Alex, being abused by her boyfriend. Until, she has her I guess you could call it her 'escape' when she decides to go study abroad in London. Long story short, she goes to London and takes up a small job as a hotel room service worker where she handles the boys' suite; when she meets them she may fall for one... until her boyfriend follows her to London.
Any comments or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
