I must confess I've written what others described as "an essay's worth" long comments before. Yes, commentS, as in multiple. There's this fic that I really like and it activated the Must Ramble Now neurons lol. Anyway, I basically did analysis in the comments. Like I went over the character limit multiple times (three to four different parts of my analysis; same thread) bc I wouldn't shut up. Another of my comments apparently was longer than the actual chapter. And that really long thread of analysis I mentioned is um. unfinished.
ANYWAY: just wanted to share this. I know it's hard as a writer to stay motivated when you don't get much feedback (I say from experience), so I'm hoping this gives some hope for everyone. There will be someone, someday, that will read your fic and go on long rants about it. I've had a long comment on of my fics before and I couldn't stop smiling for the next few weeks.
uh sorry if this isn't the kind of asks you answer or something. and sorry it's so long. have a good day! :D

i would be so happy if someone did a multiple-comments-long analysis on one of my fics (i dont really write fics that warrant that sort of analysis, but still, would be nice). i understand that the majority people dont have the energy to leave those kinds of comments, so when people do, it's truly special
(i answer this kind of ask all the time, and i've had plenty of longer ones, so you're all good <3)
