Hello, if you are still following this account, you may also know @stormsbourne, one of my best friends and also the author of lots of fics you’ve probably read and enjoyed over the years - 

Long story short her best boi Rowdy got The Cancer and we’re all gay and broke and there’s a pandemic so if you can spare literally anything at all please consider donating at her GoFundMe here, he needs surgery and maybe chemo

I don’t think I’m gonna delete, but I do think I’m gonna do the big Log Out For Good. Not sure if I’ll remake on tumblr because it’s a measurably dying platform (though I still like it better than twitter for fandom stuff………… god twitter sucks. fandom is hell) 

I’ve pretty much moved back into Fire Emblem as my main fandom, so if you’re into that and especially the newest one, or just want to keep in touch and don’t mind FE spam lmao, I’m over here:

I cannot stress enough

I know nothing about it. I have seen nothing, heard nothing. I am very very done with all official, semi official, official-adjacent, fan-work-but-functionally-official or whatever else hs content

Megalovania’s long circle from being an Earthbound fan game song to being a song in a first-party Nintendo game is impressive

Commenting fanfiction is the easiest thing in the world once you start doing it. 

[legsdemandias]

I leave a comment on every single fic I read. Sometimes when I read published books I go and leave a comment somewhere the author can find it. Granted, I literally majored in ‘leaving comments on fics’ (English Education), but once you start doing it it just becomes second nature. Now you’re gonna go to the Ozymandias school of leaving comments: 

Problem: I can’t leave kudos again.

Beginner: This is a second/third/fourth Kudos

Advanced: This is my second/third/fortieth time reading this, I still love it so much. Here are a few new things I noticed. I like the way you personally do x, y, z compared to other authors I’ve read (in this ship/genre/fandom).

Problem: I don’t know what to say :(

Beginner: Just list what you did to read this fic. “I stayed up late reading this”, “I read this on a crowded train”, “this kept me company while sick”. 

Advanced: X,Y,Z parts made me get butterflies, and I had a physical reaction to this part of the story, I squealed outloud when characters did x,y,z. I blushed at this part. I laughed out loud here. Whatever. 

Problem: I’m embarrassed to leave a comment (what if I annoy the author?)

Beginner: Short answer: you won’t EVER annoy the author (unless you’re needlessly mean) But to start, be generic, you don’t have to spill your soul in the comments section. “I liked this” “I enjoyed reading this” “nice fic”.

Advanced: This really meant a lot to me that you wrote this. This is something I feel like I’ve always wanted to read. This fic hit me in all the right places. Etc. 

Problem: I don’t know how to express myself/my experience 

Beginner: My beginners go to is to highlight a line, put that in your comment and say “i liked this” or to identify basic emotions you had while reading and comment those “this made me happy” “this part made me sad” “i almost cried” “you made me laugh” 
Advanced: “Highlighted line” This line made me smile because it has to do with character development/it’s really romantic/it’s so unique/it’s moving. Sometimes I don’t highlight a line at all, I just talk about the stuff I’ve noticed were unique to the fic. “I love the way you did this particular thing with this character”.

This? This is an amazing post. This is the Captain Awkward of commenting posts—it addresses all your fears directly and gives you actionable scripts for each one.

here’s the thing. if a piece of media’s only redeeming quality is that it has a lot of diversity and no good writing, no good character development, no good plot...i don’t really want it. i shouldn’t have to settle for scraps just because it comes in the flavor i want.
