Actually friendly reminder to comment on that fic.
Leave one word “subscribed” comments
Tell them “consider this extra kudos <3″
Leave that essay on that old fic
Tell them if you’ve reread it once. Tell them if you’ve reread it 100 times
Tell them how much you’ve seen their writing grow
Tell them when you rec their fic
Tell them how much you can see their passion
Tell them when the fic made you grin when it made you cry when it made you FEEL
leave that comment. You’ve got nothing to lose but .02 seconds of your time and everything to gain by making an authors day.
Reblogging just to say THANK YOU to the people who do leave “extra kudos!” comments and the like on old fic. It’s not something that gets mentioned a lot but I do love hearing from rereaders just as much as new readers. (Also I should remember to do this myself more often.)
Writing “this is the fourth time I’ve read this” could be the difference between that writer coming back to that ship or not.
If the only feedback I get is 500 hits and ten kudos that tells me that 490 people didn’t think it was worth a single, free, easy internet point. I wasted their time. They noped out. That feeling sucks. I won’t do that again.
If I see the same stats but a note about rereading then I know I’ve connected with at least one person, possibly more. I love that. I want to do more of that.
