The commenting period for the comment party has started!
Comment on something you are reading, watching or listening to now :D
Share with us where you commented, the comment you left and what you liked about it!
Take a moment to cheer for someone else's comment and chat about your shared interests!
Once you have submitted two comments to this blog I will ask what character you want me to draw and you will get a sketch! This is so you have a milestone to work towards. Once you submit five comments you will get a second sketch!
Have fun and remember this is to acknowledge the happiness the author gave you!
Youtube
Here are some places to start if you don't know what to comment on-
If you have watched something amazing recently leave a comment! It can be a podcast, tutorial, analysis, animation or story. Go through your history and think about videos you enjoyed, the creator would love to know what you thought and how you felt!
Tumblr
Go through your likes/reblogs and leave a comment!
You can also send an ask to your favourite blogs to let them know how much they mean to you.
There are blogs dedicated to leaving nice comments like @trafficblrpositivityproject and @mcyt-cc-positivity-project. If you want a blog for a specific fandom, search 'positivity project' with the fandom name and you might find one!
How to submit a comment to the party-
Ao3
Go through your bookmarks and leave a comment on something you've already read.
You can search fics by how many comments they have. In the Filters menu, select sort by comments (it's a drop-down at the top), this will put the works with the most comments first, then you can navigate directly to the last page of the search where you are likely to find fics that have gone un-commented. Make someone's day by giving an author their first comment ^-^
Alternatively, @nomorezerocomments has a spreadsheet with fics that need comments! Head over to their blog to find it then search for the fandoms you like and comment on a fic!
You can submit comments as an ask or make a post @'ing me. To support other participants in this comment party you can reblog their post, comment on it or send an ask to this blog pointing out that you liked what they did.
What is a comment party? It's where we come together with something we like and celebrate that we told the author we enjoyed what they made! This can be a fic, a Tumblr post, a YouTube video or anything else!
I attended a few of these in Fic Fight and it broke through my initial hesitation with commenting! Doing it together and gushing about what we read made it fun!
We also got points each time we left a comment and in no time I was breaking my personal high score for commenting because of the dopamine rush. To mimic that experience I want participants to share the comment they left with this blog, encourage others in the comment party by cheering for their comments and when you hit the milestone of 2 and 5 comments I will give you a reward! (The reward is a sketch of your favourite character)
Please join me between 1am UTC 15th to 1am UTC 16th to comment on something you recently read, watched or listened to!
It's just another way to spread positivity and have fun! :D
Thank you to everyone who participated! (Whether that was by submitting your comments or silently playing)
The goal of this event was to make people happy so if you feel inspired to comment you can still go ahead and let the creators of your favourite media know what you thought/felt about their pieces! <3
Comment on We built this town on shaky ground by clementine_emeralds!! I could barely comment coherently on this one, when I said it hurt I MEANT IT!! It was written for MCD march in 2023, I’ve read it before but forgot to comment so this was the perfect opportunity to go back and reread
Woah! It was made in 2023? That's awesome that you went back and left a comment! <3
I commented on the fic ‘I swear I’m doing fine’ by Soul_fics!! Their fic is so good, it’s kept me completely hooked even 17 chapters in and I’m gonna reread it all once it’s completed (they’re at 17/19 chapters right now) and make sure I’ve left a comment on every single one
Wow!!! That's so cool that they translate their fic! You left a wonderful comment Crow!
(I'm going to have to read this one later, it sounds so interesting :D)
