25 things you can comment on a fic if you don’t know what to say, a thread 🧵
writing comments is hard. so is writing a fic that doesn’t get any. if you don’t comment because you “don’t know what to say,” here are 25 places to start! just copy, paste, and fill in the blanks 💓
a resource: this chrome extension creates a floating comment box so you can copy/paste lines as you read and won’t have to scroll back up to parts you want to reference when you’re commenting at the end!
8. when the scene with ___ happened, i felt ___
(happy? shocked? on the edge of your seat? writers write to induce emotions, so let them know when it works!)
15.i’ll be thinking about this for a long time
(readers read a fic in minutes or hours that could have taken weeks or months to produce — letting writers know their work will stick with you even after you close the tab is very nice!)
favorite character is ___ because ___
(even the minor side characters take a lot of work to make them come to life, so shout them out if you love them!)
12.i’m so glad i found your fic through ___
(did a friend send it to you? was it recommended on your tl? writers love knowing how their work reaches new readers!)
11. i related so much to the part where ___
(you don’t have to get personal if you don’t want to, but if something resonated with you, the author would be happy to know!)
22. if their author’s note mentioned being sorry for not updating due to illness/personal things/not feeling motivated: take your time! i’ll be waiting patiently!
20. i can tell you put a lot of hard work into this/it must have taken so much planning and research!
(recognizing the humans behind the words is always a good idea)
18.if it’s multimedia/has cool or unique formatting: whoa, the formatting is so cool!
(this is a part of fic writing too and it can take a LOT of time and still be underappreciated!)
these are all jumping off points, so if you have more to say, say it (as long as it’s nice, duh)! in fandoms where fic writers face a lot of negativity, fic readers have the ultimate power to spread positivity.
comments don’t have to be long or profound. they just have to be comments. know that the more you do it, the easier it gets, AND the more you’re contributing to a positive environment writers will want to keep writing in! 💓

and if you want to get motivated,
@justcommentfest
will be starting another round soon! the entire point of the fest is to leave as many comments as possible.
hey guys! we know you might be having trouble keeping track of all the new txt fic fests (we know we are!). so we decided to compile all the major info in one place for you.
this is everything you need to know about upcoming txt fic fests, a thread 💓
many of you might be aware that ao3 is down right now! we suggest reading this so you're better informed on what is happening and how best to help the archive
january’s over but it’s still a new year, so here’s a 2022 reminder to all moauthors: be kind to yourself! you work hard and deserve to be proud of yourself and your creations, so never feel guilty for promoting your stuff or hyping yourself up 💓

if you’ve found and read any fics through
#ficrecfriday

“high school reunion au; really perfectly encapsulates the international student experience, it’s so nostalgic in that bittersweet coming of age way and the characterizations are so realistic.”
the txt fic rec archive has been updated! we had a few months of backlog (oops — life has been busy lately) so there are tons of recs you might have missed in here. we’re at a total of over 300 fics now! 💓

we all write in our free time and each of use has our own responsibilities outside of the ficdom. we just wanted to remind you that whatever you partake in one fest, multiple, or none at all, your contribution to moa ficdom as writer and reader is highly valued and appreciated 💓
hello everybody! we're trying to find a fic and maybe you can help! the fic was on ao3, soobin/beomgyu and it was canon compliant (idolverse). here is part of the fic. please let us know if you recognise from which work it is <3

“-sbn centric, kind of a character study?
-study abroad au ft. /daniel/ choi
-gave me indie film vibes
-idk if this counts as spoilers but open ending”
friendly reminder that you can tag us in a LOT more than just ao3 fic posts! we’re happy to boost your commission info, hype up your 100-word drabbles, and more 💓
hi everyone, we want to clarify something real quick: we only rt fics with the writer’s permission, since some writers may prefer for their works to be visible to only a small circle/not widely public and we want to respect that! +
the mods have been brainstorming some resources for moauthors and we want to do an interest check, so please help us out by participating in the polls below! if there’s enough interest, we’ll start working on getting these up and running 💓
