If you’re ever like “but what do fic writers even WANT.”
a book report
They want a book report.
They want you to get 9th grade English up in their shit.
Remember having to write ad nauseam about the symbolism of that stupid conch in Lord of the Flies? They want you to do that about Steve Roger’s shield and Emma Swan’s jacket.
WHoa seriously?? People WANT this?
Holy crap, I always thought I’d be really rude to leave an overly long comment on something, or it’d just be super creepy for me to babble a load of emotional attatchment I had to their product, or all my wild fan theories which are probably wrong…
I mean.. I know if I ever created something I’d wanna see comments like that, but I’m a weirdo and I haven’t even created anything anyway so what do I know?
Umm.. yeah.. so… at my followers and friends and stuff: does anyone agree with this? Do I have permission to really ramble embarrassingly and honestly when I like your stuff, or would you prefer short and semi-rational comments?I agree! I really like to read people toughts on my stuff, no matter the writing style.
I always LOVE knowing that readers understand why I chose certain ways of getting things across! I also love seeing which bits OTHER PEOPLE liked best! Since I’m the author, I’m biased. I either think my work is brilliant or I have crushing doubts.
So – whichever you want, or feel comfortable with!
Every review or comment is a wonderful thing to receive and will probably make a fic writer’s day, but yes. All of the above. Tell us your favorite line. Tell us what worked (or didn’t! criticism is okay too!) a verbosely as you want. We definitely want to know.
I get stupidly excited over every single comment because I still can’t believe anyone reads the crap that I write.
Yes
I’ve made some amazing friends through comments left on fan fiction. I love to hear people’s thoughts on chapters and what they loved or hated or what made them think. Just whatever comes to mind. I can be slow with it, but I try to get back to people that leave reviews from their accounts and I’ve had times where we’ve ended up great friends because of it.
Yes! Always feel free to leave reviews and never be afraid that I’ll judge you on it. Each and ever one of them makes me smile like crazy.
Yes! A book report! That’s a dream come true!
All comments are lovely… but knowing someone actually took the time to consider the words or the pacing – all the effort that writing takes – is fabulous!
THIIIIIIIIIS TIMES A MIILLLIOOOOONNNN
TELL me you noticed the foreshadowing. And the symbols and the allusions and the dumb pop culture refs. Make wild expansive meta of that one line in that one scene which I didn’t actually think much about at the time I wrote it but HOLY SHIT THAT’S SUCH A CLEVER IDEA OMG. Make me sweat because you noticed that one other thing I added and oh yes my god, they’re onto me! Book reports. Live comments as you’re reading. Seriously. I enjoy them so much.
