Re: Wanna commiserate?

(You should post a link to your fic, anon!)

I agree with this comment. I used to be really lazy about commenting or leaving kudos, but I've been more mindful of it lately because this is such a young fandom with only a small percentage of people willing to actually write fics for it, so I want to be as encouraging as possible.

SAYRT - Not sure if you mean me, but if you're talking about the 18,000 word story I referred to, that would be my fill for the "Matt has shingles" prompt: http://archiveofourown.org/works/4275270

It has five comments now (excluding my thank yous), and they're all lovely, and I'm real happy with that. More are always welcome, of course, but please don't feel obliged. Not every story/writing style is everyone's cup of tea.

That one got filled?! Damn, sorry I missed it.

Yep, it very much got filled. And it was a wild ride. I spent about a week writing pretty much non-stop in my spare time. It was fun and great and all encompassing somehow. Those are the best writing experiences, when the story takes over your brain. I hope that translates in the story, because I was too impatient to get it beta'ed.

Oh god, yes. It's such an easy thing just to press the kudos button, or to say 'I really enjoyed reading this."

we all gotta look out for each other!

And, even if you have absolutely no idea what to say, you can rec it in the fic recs thread because even if we don't get comments, just knowing someone recced the fic means a lot. I've recced a bunch of fics in the thread even though I couldn't really find the words to express how good they all were.

Kudos and comments are especially important on Ao3, because those are two of four options for search criteria that people can use to sort fics by. (comments, kudos, hits, and word count).

You forgot bookmarks, if you REALLY liked the fic. (Yes, you can sort by number of bookmarks.)
