Me, a writer for years and enthusiastic commentor, has stopped to comment on fic of authors who never reply to comments. My very personal opinion: it is a rude af behavior to not even say thank you or reply with a <3 to comments.

That’s your right, anon. No one is required to comment, and whatever reasons you have to comment or not are your own.

It’s really hard for me that I can’t reply to comments and reblogs on Tumblr to say thank you to each reader. Feedback is fucking GOLD and on AO3 I reply and say thanks. I wish I could do that here.

@staff please can we add that option?

You can always reply to the post 🙂 I reply to 90% of comments I get on Patreon because I can reply as a comment and not reblog the post and clog dashes.

Okay, throwing my 2 cents in…

Replying to comments can be difficult. Sometimes I try to do it, sometimes I reply to a handful. But if I get, like, 20 comments and 20 reblogs and 5 messages and 10 asks (these are random numbers, btw) it’s a lot of work to get to each and every single person. And tbh… I don’t even know how to approach compliments. Unless you’re giving me bait into a conversation my response will be, 9 times out of 10, ‘Thanks, so glad you enjoyed’ or some variation.

Just know that I love each and every single person who likes, reblogs, and comments on my fics. I might not show that love, but I mean I am giving you more chapters and fics… that me giving back to you lovely, lovely, lovely people who so not have to give me anything at all xx

DUDE I JUST WANNA FINISH THIS FIC. I AM SO CLOSE. 

I promise, I’ve got the teeniest scene to write and it’ll be ready to be posted. Maybe tonight, hopefully by tomorrow! Gonna take a quick break and get back to writing in a lil 🙂
