Maybe it’s because I’m now an old™ but I’ve noticed that there’s been a change in a lot of fandom spaces where people don’t comment that much anymore. Like back in the glory days when I was but a young teen lurker there would be long ass threads of repost discussions. I really miss that. I wanna talk to people about art (mine, theirs, whomevers) while kicking my feet back and forth like a teen girl.
Is it cringe? Yeah. But a life lived uncringe is like food with no seasoning.
Give me your sappy Hansry head cannons! Let loose the dogs of cringe and live!
Edit: Also if you want them fics updated you gotta comment on them. Like o feel like this used to be standard practice but I feel like the best part about reading/writing fanfiction was the fact that you could literally talk with the author. Like I had a specific POTC fanfic author I loved and I remember us chatting back and forth and learning about how she was from Quebec etc.
