#i am having a day yall lmao

I already posted about this on twitter but since I’m in a mood today I’m also going to put it here:

This is your semi-regular reminder that if you’re invested in a particular writer continuing to write fic for your favorite pairing, you really should take the time to toss a comment their way whenever you read their stuff. This goes double for smaller/dwindling fandoms, but honestly… even the most popular writers in the most popular fandoms need those comments to stay motivated, my friends.

And really… you can just toss an emoji in the comment box if you don’t have the spoons to write out something more detailed or if being perceived seems scary. I get it! Putting yourself out there is hard! But it’s also very hard to stay motivated if you feel like most people who read the thing you spent weeks/months/years working on didn’t like it enough to tell you about it. Especially on multi-chapter works in progress!!! Because comments are literally the only way we can tell if someone read it since you can’t leave kudos more than once…

Anyway !!! Go forth and give your favorite fanfic author a head pat in the comment section today. They probably need the motivation more than you realize lol.
