"What memorable comments have you received on your fanfictions?" (r/AO3) 

“Chicken soup with a side of glass“ “Juvenile Envy“ “A religious Experience“ “Who falls is human. Who stands is divine.“ True Poetry on AO3.

I let out a happy primal screech when an online friend drew one of my OC's.

My favourite one I've gotten so far? "The police are not enough, I need an orbital laser to delete the dad's existence"

"you seem to understand these characters very well." Left on a fic I did where literally everyone is out of character.

got a comment on a fic that said “You just had to post this on Ash Wednesday didn’t you” it was on a bible fanfic where jesus was an amongus crew mate.

my ex, instead of commenting, sent me a video of her on the floor holding a tomato up to the camera and then crushing it with her bare hands while screaming at me. i think to this day this was the best reaction to my writing

“You are an amazing writer. If this your passion, follow your dreams, if it's not, follow your dreams anyway. Don't let anyone tell you that you're not allowed to dream.” This was left on one of my first fics and it is still one of the best I’ve ever read. I really needed that.

One time someone commented on a one-shot I wrote: "Than you. You just saved me 2 hours of boredom." The one-shot was VERY short. I'm not complaining, though. 😊

My personal favorite (of mine) is: "i genuinely loved this so much. short enough to keep your attention and make you fill in the holes wondering what happening, and the ending sentence absolutely was devastating. can’t wait to see more of your writing!" I SCREAMED when I read it.

“This makes so much sense” about a (trying to be) canon compliant future fic. Oh my god I still smile when I think about it. A runner up would be me saying “this has probably already been written” about a fic with a basic premise, and someone going “you don’t understand, I’m reading as many of these as possible”. A real “omg two cakes” moment for me.

Someone told me that my fic hit them like an emotional truck, and that they had needed it Someone also said that they didn’t know why more people didn’t write about what my story was about because it made sense and was perfect angst fuel in the fandom

“I’m horny” -A scene where the character is being forced to eat his dead cell mate after being unjustly incarcerated

i was absolutely shocked when i got an email from ao3 that someone had tagged my fic as an inspiration for theirs. like i was just,,, frozen in shock for 10 minutes. i read it and commented on theirs that i really liked it and thanked them for using my fic as inspiration and apparently they had wanted to write something with those characters for months but couldn't find the inspiration to do so and it was my fic that made them decide to just go ahead and start writing. one of the biggest compliments i have received in my entire life edit: also! if it's _just_ a comment then someone commented that my villain/traitor deku one shot was the best traitor deku story they had ever read, and considering how many of those fics there are (and from what i could see from their bookmarks they read quite a lot of those) it meant a lot to me, especially since it was my first ao3 fic after suffering on wattpad

“Oh my god author you disappear and then come back from the dead to deliver us this amazing fic????” Idk why but this makes me laugh a bit every time I think of it

One of the most memorable ones I’ve ever recieved was simply, “WHAT IF I KILLED VIL?” on a chapter in which said character, Vil, was being a dickhead to the MC My favorite comment I’ve gotten was when a friend of mine told me that my story made her roll around and almost fall over the side of her bed. Really put a huge goofy grin on my face

Not ao3, but I used to be part of a Wattpad comment chain that was dedicated to acting out the entirety of Hamilton sentence by sentence. Some nights I lie awake and wonder if they made it to the end.

"First of all how dare you" is my favorite.

about two years ago, i got bored and wrote a crack fic which for some reason got fairly popular and got a bunch of comments. my favorites were "when people say crack fic this is what it means in the literal sense." from a reader who proceeded to translate the typo-ridden mess, and "this fic plagues my dreams like among us plagues my life." additionally, someone said this on a different (not crack) fic: "if this was a movie i would watch it everyday of my life.", it made me very happy.

I wrote a story with an ambiguous ending, and had been wanting to write a sequel where the other characters find out, but I didn’t know if people would read it Someone commented and ASKED for the SPECIFIC THING I wanted to write :,)

"Just wanted to say, I'm loving the story you've woven and the penmanship on display is truly inspiring." I actually started crying.

Now I am paraphrasing here, but the most memorable comment I have gotten on a fanfic to date was one from my massive Helluva Boss fanfic, and it said something along the lines of "I have spent the past several minutes looking for on the Helluva Boss wiki and only just now realized he is an OC."

my favourite happens to be my most recent comment: "'Tactically placed bucket'... I will now use 'tactically placed' on everything"

Recently I drew a cover for the fic I’m proudest of writing, since it was the anniversary of it being posted, and I got a comment on the cover that essentially boiled down to “Wait YOU wrote that?? It’s one of my favorite fics!!” So yeah that was the day my heart exploded into a puddle of rainbows

Mine was definitely when someone (who was using a Spamton themed account) decided to use my story as a start for an arg and started typing vague things in Morse code. I was the only one willing to translate it and became a Wattpad detective for a while! It eventually got to hard for me and I just gave up. Hope they found some other detective!

I’ve had someone say “I’m squealing right now, you are my Shakespeare!” and I think about that more often than I’d like to admit. And I’ve had some absolutely lovely comments from other authors in my corner of the fandom who I adore, including “I wish I could pay you to write all the AU’s, you write them so well.” I just about cried.

Someone once counted the exact number of seconds it took since my last update. Now, whenever I take longer to update than the exact number of minutes implied in my schedule, they comment “where update”. They have never commented anything else. I’m torn between being honoured and feeling uncomfortably watched. There was also this one memorable exchange about a tag on one of my fics… I have a summary of it saved so I could send it to my friends, let me copy and paste it. The tag in question: Clueless asexual attempting to write anything even resembling sexual attraction A/N: NO BECAUSE SINCE I ADDED THE ACE TAG, SOMEONE COMMENTED “HONEY UR DOING GREAT, I COULD TOTALLY FEEL THE SEXUAL TENSION, BETWEEN _______ AND _______ IN THIS SCENE”, HONEY CHECK THE TAGS THEY’RE FUCKING SIBLINGS, *a comment* hold up I thought they weren’t fucking?” *Author’s reply* I’M FUCKIGN DEADDDD *a comment* wait omg this isnt a ________ fic? im in the wrong place.. *Author’s reply* I DON’T KNOW HOW Y’ALL GOT THAT IDEA? IT’S A ________ FIC HOW DID YOU EVEN FIND THIS *another reply* BESTIE THEY’RE LITERALLY HALF-SIBLINGS IN CANON? TF U DOING? *reply to another reply* wait i just checked n they r? i think i need to revise my thoughts on the whole show… (I am the author in question, of course). This was so cursed I actually died ngl.

My favorite ones are from this one guy who regularly waits for me to update a fic that i prewritten for a fandom and i am slowly posting, even if i am basically part of the fandom anymore, and makes indepth analysis of whatever i wrote and loves everything of it

Someone told me that my fic filled them with the excitement and passion of what the ship usually makes them feel. And I just... This is the biggest compliment I've received and one of the biggest a writer can receive.

As a fic writer, I LOVE recieving comments they are so validating and always so sweet but my favorite (makes me laugh everytime I see it) is just one that says: "auch"

once i posted what i wanted to be the last chapter of a fic and was going to orphan it, but someone commented "LAST CHAPTER YOU CANT DO THIS TO MEEE" and somehow just that small compliment has kept me from taking it down

One of my favourite comments was "This is an international treasure. I loved this crack fic more than any crack fic I've ever read. I love Obama’s tragic backstory. Also, the plot development was unexpected, yet it made sense as a narrative. The detail put into the shoes just made this fanfic extra special. Thank you for writing this." One another work I got these two comments "As I was reading, my thoughts simply devolved to "wait, what the fuck?" 10/10" And then there was "Rlly good I cried..."

on several occasions people have told me that i have made them cry. someone even sent a photo of them with tears streaming down their face. my now friend even drew pieces of fanart for my fic. however, out of all 25+ fics i've written in the past six years, this is my favourite comment, and it's on my most popular one [17k+ reads]: "This. Is. so. GOOD. my new favorite fic, by far. 100/10. also, it won't let me give you more Kudos, so i am sad. This is a masterpiece." it made me sob. the fic is "home is where the lemon trees are" by gaspshichat on ao3. it's sbi-centric with the kids being autistic. i'm writing the sequel rn

So I know Character x Reader fics have a bad reputation, but they were very influential on me and I 100% believed they *could" be written well. So I published a fic I did write for myself but was easily accessible for an audience, and it got a lot of attention since there aren't a lot of character x male!reader fics out there. I got a lot of great compliments that made me really happy, but the one weird ine was somebody saying: *"I read this whole damn thing while listening to "ok boomer". Kill me."* Huh??? Sir, are you okay???

On one of my (very) angsty fics, someone commented on it basically saying how they hadn't been able to cry in like months and my fic finally broke the curse. Also, on a different fic, had someone comment that I was handling PTSD and depression really well in the story which may not seem all that cool to some people but as someone who suffers from mental illness and wants to potray it accurately, it really helped. Also made me feel like a better writer.

This is helping me write comments that sound more like my inner monologue instead of the process that school has hammered into me over the years. Which is to say, I write like you do when your teacher tells you to read and comment on a classmate's piece with backing evidence and sometimes I think it's probably uncomfortable for the author. Not because what I'm saying isn't heartfelt or genuine, but because it sorta sounds like a literary analysis of two touch-starved idiots stuck in idk a waterslide or something.

My favorite actual ao3 comment was just a simple "bro why did you make me cry", but my favorite responses will always be the notifications I get whenever I post of fic of my friend's blorbos full of screaming, several threats which I can only assume are a good thing and more pained reaction images than I ever knew existed. It's just not the same when I post a fic and nobody I know starts acting like I killed their family in front of them by writing a hurt/comfort oneshot

Not a fic, but an OG book. I remember I took a hiatus and on every thing I'd post someone would comment "Chapter 5 where?!" Or smt along those lines. It meant so much. It happened every post till I starting writing again. They genuinely cared for my characters. That meant a lot

One of my favorite comments on my first "big" fic: "I am in entirely too much pain to string a coherent thought together but. This fic? Good" I hope they're doing alright hfdndmsm

I have a friend who writes fanfiction, I'll have to plagarise some of these to express my appreciation for them

I haven't been writing fanfiction for very long and also just started writing for a smaller fandom (i started writing for a side character in a very large fandom so i never got many comments) and the most memorable comment i got was right after the DDOS attack where someone commented that they were scared they'd never read my specific fic again when ao3 was down

It’s not much, just a simple part of a comment that said that they were talking with their friends about my fic. It was simple, but the idea of people reading my work, liking it, and even talking about it with their friends… I love it so much. I really love knowing that people like my stuff.

"I want to roast Luther over an open flame." I love my readers.

My favourites: Funny: ‘NO OH MY GOD WHY DUDE’ or ‘PETER LUCAS YOU MISTY FUCKING PRUNE HOW DARE YOU EVEN CONTEMPLATE THE FELONY THAT IS CONTINUING TO EXIST MARTIN AND JON GET HIS ASS. *Kudos!!!* i hunger for the blood of the depression flavored geriatric sailor man and i refuse to be placated send tweet

I was re-reading the comments on one of my first actually good fanfictions on Wattpad, and ngl, a lot of the comments made me crack up. I love the Empires SMP fanbase.

Honestly my favorite comment was a long ramble about all the things they loved in the fic and how they would check out the playlist I provided (cause it was the second to last chapter and i felt like providing my writing playlist for temporary serotonin while i took my time with the last chapter) That wasn't why i loved it, you see, i borrowed a picture of the ship for the cover of the playlist from ny favorite fanartist of the ship. One day i go back to the comment for inspiration for the last chapter and found out they had edited the comment. They had checked out the playlist and said it was "such an honor" that i had used their fanart. I did some digging and it turns out, yes. Mt favorite fanartist had been reading ny fanfic the entire time. I was absolutely fanboying i had no idea what to do with myself. They're now my favorite commentor

Not really a singular comment, but rather multiple. There's this Rodrick Heffley fanfiction I've been working on for a few years, now. Everytime I'd post a chapter, this girl would comment the nicest things about them. I looked forward to reading her words, everytime. She ended up becoming inactive on the site. I think she was going through a lot in her personal life and I really hope she's doing well. However, if she happens to be reading this, thank you so much. You are a real motivator for me and you helped boost my confidence in my work. :) 💖

My personal favorite that I’ve received was “they make me so miserable and so, so happy and ecstatic and your write them so well

My favorite comment I ever got was “op has the spirit of the series on lock.” I typically try to keep my writing style similar to the original work for fanfic so that made me really happy. Also, they were the writer of a one shot I love.

My favorite comment on one of my fics was a bunch of screaming praise, followed by a LINK TO FANART THEY MADE! I cried tears of joy, because someone went out of their way to make fanart of MY FIC! Also another one where i was complimented on the tonal whiplash because it was a super serious fight scene followed by the loopy thoughts of someone with both a concussion and who was drunk off the exhaustion of excessive magic use. That was a fun crack fic.

The first comment I got was just a wholesome piece of encouragement. The part that I still think about was being told that they could "feel the characters coming to life on the page." I probably take writing fanfic a little too seriously, which means I spend a while thinking about how to represent the stars of my brainrot. So, seeing someone else throwing a thumbs up for the first chapter of an incomplete fic left me as a pile of mush. I told my own mother about it, I was so excited.

On a fic I'm admittedly not the proudest of (I'd only watched like 3 episodes, missed a lot of plot points, and added random fantasy elements cause I couldn't explain my way normally out of a plot point), I got such a good comment that I think about all the time "Hey! Oh my goodness I absolutely adored your version of Hannibal's season 1 episodes. There were so many creative twists you made that made it a little more interesting. I give you the most credit! 10/10 would recommend to friends. Good job! Exquisite perspective. - Thank you (username)"

Honestly comments that are like 'this fic was so good i started screaming in a applebees' always make my day :D

still happy over the fact that a fic author for a ship I really liked at the time said that they loved my work, and someone else said they love my writing style.

have a little folder on my phone of comments and reactions to my fics for when i feel shit about my work. some PARTICULARLY memorable highlights are two pieces of fanart i inspired and the person who got me into the fandom saying they liked my drabble. i feel bad, then i pull up the folder, and i'm reminded to get out of my damn head!!!

I keep a folder of screenshots filled with reviews for Warnertale (my Undertale AU fanfic where the Warners replace Frisk) and someone once said (in a review that’s longer but I don’t feel like typing the whole thing): “It perfectly captures both Animaniacs and undertale ALL AT THE SAME TIME! The character’s personality’s are written so beautifully that it actually made me imagine some kinda undertale fan game or animaniacs episode that perfectly captures this story” That’s such a high compliment!

“This is so good I farted” I received this comment this summer on a byler fic

I don't get many comments on my fics but one I laugh at a lot is "How's a war cool??? :( people die" (This was actually on one of my own original stories btw)I realise that this comment doesn't make sense without context from the story and I'm keeping it that way 🤗

Second comment I’ve ever received: “Oww, I loved it! It made me want to rewatch the whole episode, even though I've watched it recently. The way you alternated between their points of view and described the little details of their respective performances was great” :3 They then proceeded to comment on every chapter ❤

Most recent comment I got that had me fumbling to think of a response was a simple "I miss my mom 😢" I stayed up that night over it bc holy shit I'm so sorry????

I have a few notable ones. The first was that time that literally my favorite fanfic author ever commented on my fic. Still think about that daily. The second was when a friend commented on a (non canon) fic and said that her personal headcanon is that the version of one character from my fic was actually the same version of the character from another friend's fic in which that character is a time traveller, and we decided that he just travels to different timelines in order to get the main ship together in each one. Now anytime any of the three of us writes a fic we all agree "Yeah it's still the same version of him." Then was the time someone asked if they could translate my fic and it was so memorable because what?? Someone liked my writing enough to want to put it in another language?? Quite possibly the most memorable was when someone commented on a fic pointing out certain character traits of the characters that even I didn't realize I had given them, and now whenever I'm writing I wonder to myself if I'll accidentally do it again. Then there was someone who quite literally said that they got excited just seeing my username and I'm like?? People like my writing that much?? And the last one I just need to quote because the whole comment just makes me feel things whenever I reread it: "Ah you write so fcking good! I love your fics, I’m literally on a binge read- it’s so crazy how you don’t explicitly write the details BUT THE EMOTION AND FEELS ARE ALL THERE! Skills and talent right here, ladies and gentlemen. 🫡" This person literally comments again like every time they reread one of my fics and I love them.

'BASIL OUT OF HIS NO THERAPY NINETIES' was probably one of the funniest, but the most memorable has to be 'Fics like this are very important , actually. By looking at this situation from afar, by watching a fictional character instead of myself, I kind of start to "see" that everything isn't normal. So don't worry about sad little me, you're helping a ton by writing this. I'll say it again: you're amazing. (To be honest, judging by how accurate your depictions are, I thought you too are familiar. It's good if you aren't though.)' because I was like what??? I did that?? to you?? with my silly little words??

Some of my favorite comments ever were all talking about one scene where one of the MC's father figures was missing, and the MC tried to justify it by saying "Maybe he went to the store?" and things like that. (MC is a reader insert, btw) I got countless comments that all were along the lines of "NOOO [character] COME BACK WE DON'T NEED MILK" or "Great, even my fictional dad went to get the milk" or even "WE CAN EAT OUR CEREAL WITHOUT MILK JUST PLEASE COME HOME" and I was ABSOLUTELY LOVING IT! I didn't even realize at the time of writing that I would accidentally unleash this hoard of comments, but I accepted my fate rather quickly.

One of my one-shots still gets occasional comment every few weeks, always by the same person, always commenting that they keep coming back to this fic and sobbing. I appreciate them a lot.

Best comment I’ve gotten was one where the commenter told me that they knew they were going to cry from the moment they read my description, and then had to fight to not bawl so hard that they woke up their family. It was on a fic that had taken me forever to finish and that I hadn’t been 100% proud of too, so it really meant a lot. THEY THEN PROCEEDED TO MAKE LIKE 7 DRAWINGS FOR IT WHICH MADE _ME_ NEARLY BAWL.

My favorite is the first my best friend posted on one of my fics about a character I was writing that whole year and the journey she had of self discovery and romance. It generally warmed my heart and got me talking to them: and now almost a year later they are my bff and I love them so much! They make my life worth living by talking about what we love and how our lives are going.

Someone left me their entire life story in Spanish because I referenced the Spider-Man musical

"How is it THIS GOOD!?" Made my day.

This video inspired me to check up on my only fic since I haven’t in like months, and I forgot just how heart-meltingly nice people can be. My most favourite comment on my fic was actually a short thread. It went something like AJAJSJJWJSKSK I LOVE THIS FIC SO MUCH And then three other people go I FULLY AGREE I ALSO FULLY AGREE I ALSO ALSO FULLY AGREE and it was so sweet of them But if it’s just one single comment, it would have to be the most recent one “you literally wrote a masterpiece” short and simple but I’m like… that’s the highest praise I have gotten for anything ever…..

Someone left a comment saying "I literally did push-ups on my bed to contain my excitement" under a fluff oneshot I've written and every time I feel bad about my writing I go back to this comment

About a year and a half ago, I left a comment on a fic from one of the best writers I’ve ever seen. I wasn’t expecting them to see it, as they were mainly active on a different site and hadn’t written anything in awhile. They responded to my comment, and then proceeded to leave kudos on some of my fics and actually comment on my (then) most-recently posted story. I’m a little in awe to this day. I haven’t gotten many comments overall (I’ve only posted 8 smallish stories over the 2.5 years I’ve had my AO3 account), so each one is treasured.

My first comment on my first fic was "*holds out plate* More please" so... that's my favorite

throughout my years reading wattpad, it has always been my goal to give people a laugh with my comments (most of the time, sometimes i do get serious). i have been a favourite commenter before, so much so that i almost made it as a cameo in the fic (for reasons it didnt happen, but it was cool that the opportunity was there)

I was writing a Doki Doki Literature Club fanfic and I ended a chapter on a cliffhanger and I got this comment *how dare you drop that cliffhanger like that ??? the fanfic is already good enough, stop making it even better*

i got a comment on my completely out there fic saying that it 'may sound silly' (literally not at all) but they found my fic a few months prior and it introduced them to the fandom. and then after making a pun in response they called me talented. i think about that commenter every day.

also someone left a comment that was ‘how dare you make me feel emotions’ on one of my post popular fics and it still makes me so happy

Gosh I wouldn't be able to choose, there's so many lovely readers out there that leave the most funny and heartwarming comments on earth. Seriously, I have a list of them that I read again and again when I need motivation to write because of impostor syndrome. But, the shortest and funniest one I ever received was : "AHAHAHA A MULTICHAPTER FIC ABOUT PORN WOOF I like your funny words magic author"

A review I got that is very special to me is one I got on a short fic I wrote when I was feeling so shit about being aromantic so I had to channel all my self-pity into writing. I poured my heart and soul into it and didn’t even plan on posting it because it was so personal. After a few months I did it though and only shortly after I received a "My asexual heart wants to gently hold this fic, I have never related so hard to " How could I not be bitter, in a world where romantic love is the most valued thing." " And it felt so validating that I'm not the only one who feels like this and that me writing while crying in the middle of the night might actually help someone to feel less alone. Idk, now I'm rambling. I think about that reviewer sometimes, I hope they're doing well.

Here are some of my favorites. "Not Rumpel playing cupid." Simple, but it's one of my favorites. From a Once Upon a Time fanfic where Rumpelstiltskin was trying to set up the main characters. "Regina, if you take away your sister's happiness again, I swear-" It's always fun when the characters get involved. "A decently-deserved slap." "Did I just binge read? Yes I did." These were all from the same fanfic and I love them all.

I haven't written much fanfic and have publicly posted even less, but I do really appreciate two separate comments I've gotten where it was clear that the commenters were mega fans of each respective fic's main character. I know what it's like to be searching for good work about specifically character X, so the knowledge that I managed to make even just a single person VERY happy over their Fictional Son™️ makes going through the effort of polishing my disjointed writing thoughts for public consumption worth it.

I once saw: "I love this so much my toes went flying"

Some of my favorite comments include a user and myself having a back and forth convo about headcanons for characters in caretaking roles (comment section of my 10k word sickfic) Plenty of people sobbing from my work I’ve Been Less Than Half Myself for More Than Half My Life. Also in that comment section, a user commented “The scavenger bird that is I still lurks in the shadows of betrayal, death and angst”. (Not the full comment, but the highlight of it). I had a lot of people say that they related to the story A LOT, which is such a heavy compliment. Idk if it’s my finest work (it’s from over a year ago) but I am still proud of the story. Another user commented that they put, on their discord status, that I updated the fic. I love the fandom I’m in so so much. The folks are so incredibly kind (and chaotic at times) and encouraging.

"This is so fun and so good I've inhaled it like Kirby" then the SAME PERSON commented AGAIN a few hours later with this: "Legally I do not have to disclose how many times I've reread this" these are the kinds of comments that make authors the happiest

This was at the end of the comment but still “Other than that, great read! Not enough Foundation/Undertale crossovers. Even if it's short.” This doesn’t seem that much but this is a less than 300 word count fic written on an amazon echo/Alexa and also the only fic i have posted so I’m allowed to be happy about that

My favs were one person commenting they made an account just to follow my fic, and my fav author leaving a whole analysis of my fic as a comment.

Someone wrote on one of my most recent fics "this fic killed three of my cats by the way thank you for this" It was not an angst fic, i have no idea how i killed their cats but im still laughing

I saw someone comment "makes me feel all toasty inside" on a fanfic where a building gets burned with people in it

“I cried in my bowl of cheerios f*ck you”

Not a full fic, but an au I wrote a bunch of headcanons about. Someone commented that they would marry my au if they could, then asked to make fanart. I was thrilled to think someone liked my ideas enough to draw them themselves!

"rules are made to be broken asshole" I ended up putting the line into the story because I found it so funny. There was also "in my head i will make a wall full of questions with no remotely right leads and a red string connecting it all" (same user too, just different stories)

"Suck it, movie, this fic is canon now!" -on a fic wherein I kill off a fan favorite character a few chapters later Best review I've ever gotten is finding my fic on the recommendations page for a particular fandom on TV Tropes.

I once had a commenter excitedly complement my fic and then left a link to a ticktock they made where they re-enacted a scene with Gacha club and I have never been more flattered in my life. You know you’ve made it when they make fan content!!!

Well, for one, there’s every single comment I have on my fic that INTENTIONALLY ends on a major cliffhanger that that is either complaining about the cliffhanger or asking for an update. For another. The comment on one of my podfics from my podfic best friend talking about how the pod gave them a new involuntary memory about driving through a specific stretch of road that they’ve never given much thought, but now will think of every time they think of my pods and vice versa.

Only part of the comment, but it made me really happy: "Your writing is beautiful, it tugs at my heart in this lovely bittersweet way, it’s like waking up from a dream. Thank you for sharing this fic!" I also got a comment on a fic I didn't really like and had been considering deleting, but then I figured if at least one person got something out of it, it should stay up :) I don't get a lot of comments, but I love leaving ones like the ones in the video XD

Multiple fan fictions have more words than a book with 3.2 million words. Let that sink in.

I got a comment saying my fic became this person's comfort fic and 😢😢😢❤ I still need to uh...write the next chapter for that one but still, everytime I'm on the verge of deleting that fic because I'm sure everyone in that fanfom's about had it with me, I think of that comment and I remember that (mostly) it's in my head

someone once wrote this in a comment: "So you know how sometimes you read a restaurant menu and something catches your eye and suddenly you crave that food and nothing else will do? And then you finish eating and it was delicious and you are satisfied for the rest of the day? That's how I feel about this fic." And I think I started weeping a little. It's one thing to be told your writing is satisfying to read, it's another entirely to be praised with a metaphor like this Edit: Also that comment that said I treated a character like the cop slide

I once received a comment that made me cackle like a cartoon villain on one of my heavier angsty fics where I let a chandelier fall on one of the main characters off-screen. The commenter told me they’d been coming back to the fic every so often because they kept forgetting to remove the fic from their Later bookmarks-except they always forgot that the ending was HEAVY angsty (despite the MCD and other related tags lol), and their heart “kept getting crushed like __ apparently was!!” Still my favourite comment ever.

The first comment I ever got on my fic was about a paragraph long, almost half of it was a keyboard smash, and everything was in all caps. Let's just say, it made my day and I still smile whenever I think about it. :)

The most memorable comments I get are always the shortest ones lmao “[character’s name in all caps] THEY’RE MARRIED NOW /J” And then stuff like, “NOOO WHATTTT I'M CRYING WTF“ Those are always some of my favorites lmao

"I was not expecting to have a broken heart this morning" very first comment I got on Ao3
