This Is Amazing

ive also heard abt replying to comments as artificial cumment inflation

and also, a fic of mine that has a bestiality tag on it is getting overlooked (compared to my other ones) and it makes me feel that theres this disconnect between "pwp/wank material readers" and every other vanilla reader to add to the fact that the hits are alright, so ppl maybe feel ashamed or something to kudo/comment, which is nuts.

I just want crazy porn, good writing and community. isnt that what ao3 is abt? 🌈🫶

One thing I feel like the Ao3 community lacks compared to other sites, especially Brazilian fanfic websites which was part of my cultural upbringing as a Brazilian writer, is responding to comments.

Sometimes I’ll see a fic with a lot of comments and the author rarely replies anything, even to the bigger ones. This is something I personally had difficulty adjusting when I moved to ao3 from Spirit Fanfics, the Brazilian fanfic website I used to post on.

You guys don’t have a culture of replying to comments and I think you miss a lot by not doing so. A lot of my greatest friends were found by talking in the comment section of fics, whether they were mine or replying to my comment, and it’s very nice to engage with readers and authors in that way. I feel like ao3 doesn’t have much of this and I have the feeling Wattpad isn’t much different.

I get very happy when an author replies to a comment I’ve made and it makes me more excited to actively engage with what they write, knowing it could start a conversation where we both gush about the media talked about and the fic itself. But for every comment I leave, there’s a bunch of people that end up never replying, especially those with bigger fics (which partially I understand cause they get a lot of comments and it gets hard to manage every single one, but still) and it’s kinda disappointing.

I’m not trying to say the author owes the commenter a response for their comment, but I do think it could improve the influx of them by engaging with the readers in that section. It’s very often I see fics with lots of comments but absolutely no reply from the author. At best it’s a “thank you for commenting” on the start of the next chapter and that’s it. It’s a nice thing but still, generic thanks. It’s not much to gush about and have a bigger interpersonal connection with.

Maybe I’m just steamrolling here or maybe I’m too Brazilian for gringo culture, but I think y’all are missing out on some great experiences by not engaging more with comments, whether it be between author-reader or reader-reader.

ok i just wanna check something.... reblog if you've never watched/opened tumblr live

sounds like a plan

Nothing like staying up all night drinking wine, eating chocolate covered strawberries and being hunched over my laptop in my cold dorm writing fanfiction at 2 am.

the generational gap between me and the people my age who use chat gpt

i hope this is a jikook/taekook author hahaha

There are two opposing ships in my fandom and I write for both of them. I have two separate AO3 accounts so people don't know it is me writing for both ships.
