WE ARE WEAVING IN AND OUT OF TINY ROADS WE ARE DODGING FRUIT STANDS WE ARE SPEEDING ON OUR VESPAS IN THE COUNTRYSIDE!!! TAKE IN AS MANY SIGHTS AS YOU CAN BY COMMENTING ON AS MANY FICS UNDER 2K AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN

I started sharing my writing online in 2015, and if it weren’t for all the wonderfully kind people leaving comments and encouraging my (somewhat crude) writing (compared to now), I would have felt a lot less motivated to continue 🥹 All of them shaped me and kept me going; made me want to improve.

there's a XV fic that I will not name that made me feel so insanely seen on so many levels that I wrote a two-part essay in the comments crying about how deeply touched I felt. went back to reread, and in the comments the author had left that they were working on one last chapter for the readers.

Around when I began writing and didn’t have any confidence in my writing, I had this one follower who would comment every chapter of my fic so nicely I ended up writing more than 150 K words. They would comment what they read and what it made them feel. Now I’ve written about 80 fics, 6 long ones.

my favorite comments are the ones where a person invites me to discuss the characters, the story, our interpretation of the original artwork itself. Obviously, I like praise as much as the next person, but I think commenting is bigger than that. it's about fandom as conversation!
