People who read fanfics but don't interact with it, here's a harsh reminder:

Comment.

Comment like the fanfic's life depends on it, because it likely does.

The author behind it is writing this for fun, writing this to share with others, for free. Don't bother saying "Oh, they write it for themselves." No, not really.

Art is meant to be shared and enjoyed and discussed.

Comments are motivation for an author to keep going. Comments tell an author someone is enjoying their work.

Comments mean more than kudos! Kudos can only be given once and could be given early when a fic is young. But if people are reading but not commenting on later chapters, an author has no idea if anyone is enjoying or even reading their recent updates! They might think people have lost interest! An author might give up if not given a reminder that at least someone is reading and loving it.

"But I don't know what to comment!"

Easy! You've got several different styles to try! Mix and match if you want.

The simplest and quickest: Thanking the author for the update or maybe even just a 💚.

Screaming: Caps and chaos, scream at the author all your thoughts. I assure you, authors love seeing this:

“NOOOOO 😭😭😭 WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME??? ajdkskfjskfj”

You can even go further and write line by line as you 'live react' to the chapter/fic:

“Okay the opening is already killing me.” “OH MY GOD THEY FINALLY KISSED!!!” “WHY WOULD YOU END IT THERE???”

Quote: Pick out a quote from your favourite part and make a comment around it. Was it a good line? Did you really like what happened?

My favourite line is "she had more money than sense sometimes, but she’d hardly cry over this." It's a small one but I love how it conveys his attitude towards her mixed with his desire.

Hype: Maybe you don't have much to say, but just announcing your love is enough!

"I'm obsessed with this fic." or “frantically mashing the kudos button again and again"

Speculate: Guess what might be coming next!

"i wonder why lilli would rather Elikar take her and Cinnara 👀 👀"

Analyse: Offer thoughtful commentary on themes, motivates, foreshadowing, or symbolism. An author would be thrilled to see all the little details they might have written are being picked up!

"Her mentioning the magic being different somehow seems to imply she's already dimly aware of the sea's connection to Apocrypha, maybe?"

Just remember one crucial rule: Don't offer criticism unless you know each other and you've been asked.

Now go! Go support some of your favourite fanfics and authors! Show the love, and don't hide it behind discord servers!

Heads Up on AI for Google Users.

Hello Everyone, I recently got an email in my account that Gemini(Google's Gen AI) will be active whether or not you want to for tablets and phones. Make sure to have your Gemini in your Account Turned off in your profile and Phones - They give steps into how.

Seriously, can not help, but think that this is related to the "Big Beautiful Bill "and it's unregulated AI usage for 10 years...I am so done with AI 🙄!

I do not wish to see any of my fellow writers and artist have their work stolen unexpectedly, in addition - it is also feels like spying.

Please Reblog this Post to get the message out there, especially for Android Users.

My parents HATE overwatch because it takes up our entire wifi whenever my brother goes online and when I bought myself the new Zelda my mom was like “can I watch Netflix? or are you playing” and I was like no, no don’t worry it doesn’t take up internet. and she was so relieved and started walking towards the TV in her room and I was like “you want to watch it out here? I can switch to the handheld mode” and she was so impressed that she could watch Master Chef next to me while I played my game. Nintendo is truly the family system.
