I see you often reblog stuff about commenting on fics, and yet you have a lot of comments on yours so... Why do you even do that? Why do you care? Clearly your fics are not completely ignored! Dropped your victim card? Need more attention?
Well, it's my blog so I post/reblog everything I like ✨️
But since you are this kind and asked me why do I care about the topic, I'm going to answer because this is so dear to me.
Let's start with the main problem here: the general lack of comments is a thing. I'm not pointing at my own stories or anyone else's. I'm describing the general picture and if you look around the whole website, you'll see how many authors are complaining about the general indifference when it comes to writing a comment on a work.
As a writer myself, I know the struggles of being ignored after you post a brand-new story or update a story that already exists. You put a lot of effort into the writing part, sharing pieces of your soul and nobody shows interest in what you're doing.
For this reason, I try to comment on every story I like. I'm not always "on time" as life can be harsh or whatever, but it doesn't matter. At some point, I'll write a comment on that specific story because I want to show the author that I appreciate their work and I support them no matter what.
You know that trend? Support your artists? That's exactly what I mean ✨️
That's true, I might have "a lot of comments" on my current long (eternal? Who knows) story, but what's the point of saying so? Am I selfish if I'd love to see more commitment? Am I wrong?
Don't forget, dear anon, that we are all humans and humans need to feel appreciated, especially if they offer content for free, like writing stories!
