want your favorite author to update but don’t want to be too pushy in their comment section?

here’s 5 things you can do to encourage them:

  • Reblog their fic link on tumblr (bonus if it’s with tags)
  • Bookmark the fic with a note about what you’re excited about/love in the fic
  • Recommend the fic to your friends or local discord channel
  • Draw art or create other media for the fic (as indicated by the author’s comfort level)
  • Leave them a comment when re-reading about the parts of the chapter/story that stood out to you the second time

Seriously, guys, the cheer leading does help. Sometimes the only thing that gets the next chapter out is “I’m gonna do this for starfleetlinkuei69! ;_;”

For the record, this also applies to people who don't post WIPs. When I am deciding which of my various stories to work on, it's part vibes and part "What will make my Consistent Commenters happy?"

one time i left a silly comment on a two shot and it made the author laugh so hard they literally wrote a third chapter specifically for me because my comment made them laugh. comments are SO fucking important. even if you just comment a heart emoji it can literally be the difference between someone finishing a story or not. EXALT THE FIC WRITER!!!!

I'd like to add that if you rec a fic on a discord and people like it, please encourage them to let the writer know! It's so common for a channel to rave about the fic with each other but all the writer sees is some kudos, and it would be really nice if the writer got to see that enthusiasm too.

If the internet wasn’t anonymous anymore i would stop writing/posting fic and a part of my soul would die. I don’t want to post fic under my real name i don’t wish to be perceived i wish to be known on an incredibly deep level without something superficial like my name attached. Writing fic is like stripping naked but leaving your face out of the shot
