not to be "comment on fanfic even if they are oooold"

But I just read a pretty good fic published in 2014-2015 (you know, roughly TEN YEARS AGO) and I was like, damn this is so cool, I have to leave a comment, even if you know, they probably wont see it...

The author replied less than an hour later.

Pete just goes along with Wade because he loves his giggles

One of the coolest parts about being a fan of fanfic is you can actually contact the author. And they will respond. And then you can message them nonstop until they allow you into their lives and then you’re becoming their beta reader and suddenly you know multiple authors of all types of fiction books and fanfic authors who will drag out their deleted fics for you to read at a moments notice.

Anyway. Comment on fics and message authors. It’s absolutely worth it.

I haven't abandoned this story. I just put it on the back burner for now. The story is just on a small vacation. It is currently out of office. It can't come to the phone right now. It just fell under my bed to sleep with the monsters. It never left my head. It is everywhere - except on paper.

best ao3 comment I've ever received, btw.

I don't think any review of my actual novels will be better actually.

do you ever draw something for yourself that’s so deliciously self-indulgent that you just sit there like

no matter how many fics i read nothing hits quite like the first time dabi calls hawks 'pretty bird', it's probably the closest i'll ever get to experiencing the rush of snorting crack cocaine

also im looking at my ao3 bookmarks because i forgot it was even a thing but there's something a little heartbreaking about seeing a bookmark from 4-5 years ago that says "this work has been deleted, sorry!" who were you. what were we together

my dream as a fanfic writer is for one day, one of my fics to be someones comfort fic. like the fic that they reread when they don't feel good and want to be happy. i want my words to comfort someone one day
