if i can convince you of one thing then it is this: pls leave comments on ao3 fics, no matter if its just a few nice words. authors are desperate little creatures and they will eat up any crumb of praise. numbers in forms of kudos dont do as much as words do

I used to be too shy to try to put into words just how much y'all's stories mean to me.... Then one day I was like fuck it. Now I leave everything from a couple emoji to fucking thousands of words. Rambling novels. I love letting y'all know. It is so important ๐

I always feel kind of bad commenting on something I'm reading when I notice the post date was like 2014.
Do you reckon I should care about that?

Every time someone writes "sorry for commenting/sorry for writing a long comment" part of my soul dies, because what do you mean "sorry", every new comment makes my damn day and a long ones literally make me cry from joy! There is nothing to apologize for, please comment more๐ญ

First time I posted a ff I was insecure and I said that I didn't know if I had made the right choice posting. The first commented I received was: "you're doing great keep going!". I cried all day reading that comment like it was the most precious thing ever
