people always talk about leaving comments on ao3 like it's a nice thing to do, or the best way to encourage writers to keep writing, or overall like it's how you Do Your Part in fandom

and yeah, all those things are true, but having spent the past few months leaving enthusiastic comments on as many things as i can, i have a different perspective

you should leave comments on fics because it's fun

taking the time to stop and focus on what i like about a story has made me way more aware of what's going on in stories and what i like about them. there's bit more actual comprehension and appreciation and not just beaming content into my eyes to fill time

i like noticing cool little things in fics, or riffing on funny events. i've never been very good at speculating or picking apart characters, but sometimes something clicks and it rocks.

and of course it's pretty nice when you get a response and it's clear you've made another person happy

so yeah, you should leave comments for your own sake, too. it makes reading better!

Also there’s an OVA but I have no interest in watching it. This anime is 10s across the board on the Weeb Ass Shit scale.

For the last goddamn time...

"Kill your darlings" means "if something is holding you back, get rid of it, even if it sounds pretty."

That's it! That's all it means! It means if you're stuck and stalled out on your story and you could fix the whole block by removing something but you're avoiding removing that thing because it's good, you remove that thing. That's the darling.

It does NOT mean

That you have to get rid of your self-indulgent writing

That you should delete something just because you like it (?wtf?)

That you need to kill off characters (??? what)

That you have to pare your story down to the absolute bare bones

That you have to delete anything whatsoever if you don't want to

The POINT is that you STOP FEELING GUILTY for throwing out good writing that isn't SERVING THE STORY.

The POINT is that you don't get so HUNG UP on the details that you lose sight of the BIG PICTURE.

Good grief....

The redraw nobody asked for.

Have you wondered lately why Discord link previews do not always load for @ao3org links?

I figured a lot of people are curious about this! Since I have been developing an AO3 link aggregating bot for my Bagginshield Book Club Discord server, I've been speaking with a volunteer on the Server team about the best way to handle bot requests in this difficult time. One of the issues I've run into is that the images for collections and series load intermittently, but also, unrelated to my bot, the link previews have not always been loading.

The answer lies in Discord's request protocol, and the limits that the server team has had to implement on all traffic but especially bot traffic of any kind.

On April 13th I got this reply:

we believe this is due to Discord not waiting long enough for responses from us. We are looking at increasing the amount of bot traffic we accept across the board which may help with this.

Yesterday on April 26 there was a public meeting of the OTW Board. (Did you know that anyone can attend these on their Discord server?) The second question addressed this issue!
