Who is the most interesting Kindred on this site? Who should I get to know?

i always get tearful when people leave walls of comments on my fics. the in-depth analysis y'all will go into, the love i feel pouring out of those comments, the appreciation. i always have a hard time responding to them, because i feel like a simple "thank you" isn't nearly enough. it's not that i don't see them, it's not that i'm intentionally ignoring them. it's that every time i sit down to respond, i'm overwhelmed. by gratitude, by my own sappy emotions. i put everything i have into my writing. and people telling me how they connected with it? that feels like payoff.

so i want to know–as a commenter, what would be a response you'd like hearing? do you even expect a response? and as a writer, is there anything you typically say to comments like these?

#taking a poll #i mean i LOVE short comments too but i typically don't struggle with responding to those as much :')#why is a raven like a writing desk?#fanfic #ao3 #just writer things #writers on tumblr
