I know Tumblr is full of posts about the virtues of commenting on AO3 fics and such. But like. It works.
I just knocked out 8.5k words in one single day for a chapter update because of one reader leaving one of the most absurdly endearing comments I’ve ever gotten. That is unheard of levels of productivity for me.
The power of the fandom. The power of the comment.
Same... I reread an old fic of mine from seven years ago and read the comments. People from half a decade ago asking for a sequel. Asking for fun plot points. And then I went and looked at the exploratory sketches I did for that sequel and went... yknow what?
Now.
30k+ words and counting. Should be out this fall.
Encouraging fandom does wonders. Especially if you're writing the weird and niche shit like I do sometimes.
