THE MISCONCEPTION ABOUT COMMENTING ON FIC

I’ve read all kinds of posts both from writers and readers lamenting about comments on fic. Authors are upset when they don’t get any, readers don’t know what kinds of comments to leave, etc. And it finally clicked in my brain why I think a lot of people don’t bother writing comments. 

And this is what it boils down to:

Writers do not want praise.  We just want to talk about our story. 

I can’t speak for everyone obviously - but I think the majority of writers don’t care so much for the “omg you’re a brilliant writer!!” comments as much as we just want to hear your thoughts on the story. Even if it’s just your thoughts as you’re reading of “oooh x happened! I can’t believe y said this! What’s going to happen now that z has happened?!” We literally just want to talk about what we’ve written like you would with a friend about a tv show. We’re not out here demanding praise like some entitled narcissist. 

While praising our writing skills or writing style is appreciated, it doesn’t need to be said on every fic and every chapter that you read. If you regularly comment on someone’s work that’s telling enough that you like our technique. Readers shouldn’t feel pressured to have to praise a writer’s abilities every time they want to comment. 

In the grand scheme of things, talking about the fic/chapter is actually more helpful to us writers instead of spewing praise. It’s the same with artwork. As nice as it is that people tell me “wow your art is so pretty!” it’s a LOT more useful to me to get comments like “I love their expressions!” or “the lighting on this is gorgeous!” because then I know WHAT people are liking about it. If no one ever comments on my backgrounds, I now know what to improve. If most people comment on liking the expressions, I now know the strong points of my art and can use it to my advantage to make even better art in the future. 

The same goes for fic. If multiple people tell me they liked a certain part of the story I now know that things similar to that are a hit. It’s feedback I can use to improve the story and give my readers more of what they want. Without that I have no idea what they like about the fic.

Talking with a writer about their story also gives them inspiration!! Nothing gets us more in the mood to work on a fic than to have people wanting to talk about it. A lot of times just talking about one of my fics with someone will give me that push to continue working on it. Getting a comment that just says “great chapter” or “you’re a great writer” doesn’t do much to motivate us to continue that particular fic. But if you talk about the story and the characters it gives us motivation to continue working on it, may even give us ideas for future chapters. I would hope that those of you with “comment anxiety” find this approach so much easier than trying to praise the writer every time you read.

So that fic the author hasn’t updated in forever that you’re dying to read? Talk to them about the fic and the elements of the story! It will make the writer want to talk to you about it and will get their mind thinking about it, hopefully inspiring them to continue where they left off. Fics that are left in silence are more likely to be abandoned or even deleted because nothing feels worse than putting your heart into a story to have no one say anything about it. 

TLDR; Writers do not want praise, we just want to talk with our readers about the story itself, and these are the kinds of comments that inspire us to keep writing more.

Happy International Women’s Day! (March 8th, 2021)

Vital pandemic reminders:

You are allowed to feel bad, to stay in bed and to focus on surviving.

You are allowed to take care of your mental health first.

You do not need to prove anything through this pandemic (or any other moment).

You do not need to apply productive standards onto you when you're feeling this bad and struggling this hard.

You can be literally a sponge, netflix and chill all day, night owl, forgetting about the existence of everything else. (given you eat, drink, wash yourself and take your medicines regularly !)

It's such a hard time to be alive, I don't see why you should try harder now than you ever did before. Just survive and stay focused on keeping yourself happy and healthy, instead of forcing yourself to hit the milestones of your life while you struggle with essential needs like sleep and mental health.

If you want to help me get motivated: ask me something. About the story, my theories, my life, tell me your theories, anything. 

(I won’t give spoilers but I might give hints)

Hey, it’s me, your girl. I’m not dead. Hearing everything about season 5 I’m sure you're all looking for a Bughead hit, and its coming!

I see all your comments on K&L and I mean it when I say I am working on it. I am planning to have a new chapter done by the end of March. I just need you all to have some patience with me, its been a hell of a ride since I started this story last summer. 

----

I moved states, I started law school, I’m trying to handle COVID isolation, my family is dealing with a serious health crisis, I’m relapsing on my ED, and I have a major assignment due in two weeks. So please stick with me for a bit longer, once I have some room to breathe I will get your fix!

this feels like a good reference (and if possible, from personal experience, i’d recommend packing ahead of time if you can…your panicked brain is not as effective as you think it is)

The west coast is not only California. Washington and Oregon are struggling to breathe.

We have the worst air quality in the world.

1 in 10 Oregonians have been evacuated. More than 1 million acres have burned in Oregon alone.

Nearly the entire West side of the Cascade range is burning. There are more than a dozen fires burning in Oregon, the 4 largest of which are 0% contained at this time. Everyone I know has their bags packed, from small towns to major cities.

An AQI of anything over 100 is considered unhealthy, anything over 300 is considered dangerous, most of Oregon has a AQI over 500. The air is so unhealthy that experts don’t know what the short or long term effects will be. Salem, Portland, and Eugene have each broken the AQI scale multiple times this week.

Smoke inhalation, even for short periods, leads to an increased risk of heart and lung ailments, headaches, irritation and swelling of soft tissues, memory problems, fatigue, and a host of other issues. Smoke inhalation is literally oxygen deprivation. The people of Washington and Oregon are choking.

And to top it all off, the US is still overwhelmed with a Global Pandemic. Anyone with COVID or underlying health issues have few options because our resources are stretched so thin.

Please. Please. Please. If you can, donate any cause will work but a few are: the Northwest Response Fund, the American Red Cross, any Oregon firestation, Salvation Army Cascade District. Anything could help.

If you can’t donate, please spread the messege. We need help, I am scared, we are scared, it feels like we’re alone, and the world is literally burning around us. If you know anyone in Oregon or Washington, reach out to them, make sure they are alright.

Thank you
