Let’s be honest - we all forget to leave a comment sometimes. We don’t always go out of our way to click the “come talk to me on tumblr” link on AO3 to scream about the fic in the author’s inbox. On August 21st I encourage you to take a moment and show fanfic writers that you appreciate them!

How can you do it?

leave a comment and kudos on every fic you finish reading. Doesn’t matter how short. Doesn’t matter if you’re just repeating what other people have already said. Just be kind! Keysmashing, Caps Lock, and live commenting appreciated! (Bonus points if you leave a comment on every chapter)

ideas for what to put in a comment: one | two

floaty review box for ao3 (super useful for commenting as you read + it has a ‘review tips’ button if you feel stuck)

reblog ficlets, drabbles, fics, fic rec posts, etc. Put a nice comment in the tags. Remember that likes, while appreciated, don’t give the writer any exposure, meaning the posts don’t reach more people

go to your local fanfic writer’s inbox and talk to them about their fic of your choice. Let them know how long ago you’ve read it and what story point/sentence/scene still makes you smile when you think about it

send thank you messages to fic writers. In a world where you have to pay for almost everything, they’re supplying you with countless hours of free entertainment. It can get quite lonely without getting messages acknowledging the hours they spend writing stories - let them know their time and effort is appreciated

make fic rec posts and @ the authors whose fics you’re recommending! (believe me, fic writers love to see their stories in these posts)

create something inspired by a fic! You can draw fanart, make a moodboard or aesthetic post, or even write a song for the fic you love. Whether you’re a beginner or a pro doesn’t matter - the thought alone is what counts more than anything <3

buy the writer a coffee if they have a ko-fi page and you have some change lying around c: Caffeine keeps most fic writers awake when they struggle with a particularly slow draft or a difficult scene. More coffee, more content.

“Never say ‘crush me moon daddy’ ever again”

“Betcha didn’t think you’d be cheering for Satan tonight huh?”

“Phil is releasing his balls,”

“You guys are laughing at the word flap?”

“Dan and Phil; Best friends and soul mates!”

“Ah yes you demon fairies up in the balcony watching Dan and Phil crafts for fun,”

“So when I go to court for stabbing Phil you are all my witnesses,”

“X rated Lester,”

“So if that simulation was anything to go off of I think you should run,”

“Was the furry wedding the good ending???”

“You are all Tracey!”

This was bothering me whole day today, and I FINALLY placed it where I had seen this scene before.

Pretty Odd - phillestatos

Summary: Dan Howell, piano teacher and speedster, craves chocolate cakes at three in the morning. He meets a baker named Phil who owns the only store opened at three in the morning and who bakes the most delicious chocolate cake in the world. It’s a pretty odd love story.

I did okay majoring in Political Science and American Government in undergrad though. I graduated summa cum laude so I figure I must have learned something?

Law school also went alright I guess? I did somehow manage to get an article about the constitutionality and modification of excessive force laws through out the 50 states placed in a national publication. And I also managed to pass the Bar Exam. 

Summary: Phil Lester is different, having the power to manipulate water with just a flick of his hand. Because of this, he was transferred into the special school, Dahlia Academy, which was built to harbor students with magical abilities. Here, he meets Dan Howell, a cold and distant pyromaniac who doesn’t get close to anyone. Warnings: arson, violence, vomit, murder, character death (dw its a happy ending), cussing Word Count: 46,006

On the sidebar on the left, there’s a list of languages listed in alphabetical order, so you have to scroll down a bit to find ‘Simple English’. But even if you can’t, you can just edit the URL from en.wikipedia.org to simple.wikipedia.org

Here’s an example of the difference between English wiki and Simple English wiki:

SuperWiki shares stuff you want to know about the Devil’s Bargain but couldn’t be bothered clicking a link to find out!  * That Speight’s a tricky bastard!  Richard Speight Jr. name does not appear until the end credits, to preserve the shock of Gabriel’s return. This has previously been done with surprise re-appearances of Crowley and Bobby Singer. Speight filmed his appearance in mid-December after the last Con of the year (Krampus Con in Australia) so he was out of the public eye while clean shaven for the shoot. 

* The first film time Danneel and Jensen appeared on screen was not in the indie movie Ten Inch Hero, but a short film made in 2004 called The Plight of Clownana. Jason Manns also appeared in the movie. * The backdrop for Sister Jo’s ministry was the backdrop used in Supernatural: The Musical! from Fan Fiction the 200th episode.   

* Cupid is not an individual but rather a class of angels more correctly known as cherubs. 

* It was often speculated, includeding by actor Julie McNiven, that Anna Milton’s angelic name was Anael, the name given here by Sister Jo but this was never used in canon. 

* There is a meta shoutout to the “Evil Colonel Sanders" when Asmodeus eats (and spits out) a piece of fried chicken. 

* The Archangel Blade was last seen when Gabriel tried to use it to kill Lucifer in Hammer of the Gods, but Lucifer turned it one Gabriel (presumably) killing him. If there is only one archangel blade (and it is implied there is) The one Asmodeus retrieved has a spiral blade, whereas the one Gabriel possessed looked like a normal angel blade. Of course this may have been an illusion to disguise it (insert your own head canon here).  

* Gabriel also appeared in Metafiction but that was an illusion created by Metatron (or was it…)  God confirmed that Gabriel (and Rapahel) were dead in We Happy Few. Interestingly that episode titel is a fragment ofthe St. Crispin’s Day speech from William Shakespeare’s play, Henry V. We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.  Band of Brothers  is a series in which Richard Speight appeared. EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED.

* Directoral touches by Eduardo Sánchez-  The scene where the two young boys find Castiel and poke him with a stick recalls the movie Stand By Me where a group of young boys find a body in the woods. Also after Lucifer promises the angels their wings back, there is a cut to a bucket of chicken wing bones in front of Donatello. 

* The show has referred to the world where Mary is trapped as both Apocalypse World, and Earth Two - a DC comics reference. DC Comics is owned by Warner Brothers who happen to also make “Supernatural”.
