No one reblogs on tumblr anymore.
No one leaves comments on Ao3 anymore.
Seriously people the lack of fandom interaction these days makes me genuinely depressed, it never used to be like this, makes me wonder what's the point of coming online to do anything anymore.
Reblog a post so other people can see it.
Leave a comment so the author doesn't feel like giving up.
Fandom cannot live on Likes or Kudos alone.
dont be scared to leave a little message in the tags! dont be scared to tell that author what you thought about that one line in their fic!
i used to only like/kudos because i was worried i would upset the op/author but then i posted my first fic and it genuinely made me so happy when i got a comment!
now i think of that feeling whenever i interact with fandom and i imagine op feeling that too
i promise you, the person you are interacting with will treasure your little tag or your little comment for a long time! THATS THE WHOLE POINT! THATS WHY WE POST INSTEAD OF JUST THINKING IN THE SILENCE OF OUR HEADS!
interaction is the whole point!
