I just want to give a shoutout to all of you who comment on fics. Kudos are wonderful too, but those of you that comment, especially regularly, are an extra kind of special. I’m always happy when I see your names in my email and you’re why I keep on writing.

Woot woot!  Comments and Kudos are amazing little ways we readers can tell our writers “Thank you!”  It always kinda bums me out when I can’t leave a comment on a fic…

This is all kinds of true. Receiving feedback on my writing changed my entire perception of the art itself. I enjoy all manner of feedback, from capslock rampant hyperbole (my goal, to be honest), to critical interpretations, to pointing out a detail I got wrong. I love all of it.

And, moreover, I love my readers for having the confidence to flail at me incessantly, because it makes me seriously, stupidly happy.

Yes this!  When a reader can build a relationship with a writer, no matter how small a piece of feedback may be, a whole new world of opportunities is opened up and the possibilities are endless.  

Feedback is super important for writers; it let’s them know that their material is getting out there, it helps them to grow as writers, and it can offer them encouragement to keep writing.  Give your love and support!
