Daily reminder to leave comments on fics to make someone's day after so much hard work đ„°
Kudos are great, Reblogs are great but it can feel so quiet without the comments. Even just a few words of encouragement, appreciation and deserved gratitude can go a long way!
If you don't know what to say, you can always:
say how the work made you feel: made you laugh, cry, sad, happy. Point out which parts made you feel what
quote the parts you really enjoyed or stood out to you and say why
say where you were or what you were doing when you read it and how it affected your day (there were so many instances when a great fic completely derailed my plans and I had to sneak out somewhere to scream internally and fangirl lol)
discuss characters, plot and theories, once you get talkative it will start pouring out lol
you can even use a meme!
honestly, at least just say "thank you" and how much you enjoyed it
extremely relevant bonus point: if you like the story so much that you're gushing about it with your friends and recommending it to them, the writer would love to hear all of that gushing even more than anyone đ
You made it to the end!
I'm so proud of you!!!!!!!!!ÂĄ
I would never have tried without you and I'm so glad we did!
A few months ago, I had a few friends join the femininomenon fest, and I had major fomo. I decided to join it and brought a friend along with me (@kelpforestfire). Tonight I posted my final chapter for my snamione fic for the fest.
It was such a fun experience, and I've already started another fic for the Moony's Midlife Crisis Fest. I've made more fandom friends, beta'd more fics, and just really enjoyed finishing this little fic that allowed me to let my inner scientist nerd-out a bit.
I've had the BEST cheerleaders and betas behind me, and I've really loved the sense of community that this has given me. I've loved all the fics I've read from the fest. It really was an amazing and timely idea.

What she says: I'm fine
What she means: I've been screaming endlessly inside of my head for the past week. I haven't had a decent night sleep in longer than I can remember and I've lost track of how many days I've been laying in bed staring at a wall.
Today Iâm thinking about how Harry loves people so much and has no idea how to communicate it. (Which is, frankly, a Huge Mood.)
This is clearest at times when Ron is feeling unloved, and Harry is baffled, hurt, and angry. How could Ron possibly feel unloved, when heâs the most important person in the world to Harry? And weâre sitting there reading thinking⊠yeah, okay, but how⊠would Ron know that? Have you ever, you know⊠done anything to indicate how much you care about Ron? You understand Ron canât actually read your internal narration, right?
Part of what makes Hinny such a great couple is that Ginny seems to be⊠better at reading Harryâs feelings than most people. Like. We really have the impression that Harry can sit there and adore Ginny, and she can tell he adores her. (One of my favorite Hinny tropes is Ginny being Harryâs feelings coach⊠like, Ron comes back from Australia and Ginny nudges Harry like, âTell him you missed him.â âWhat? Of course I missed him.â âTell him anyway.â)
Anyway. Harry is very sweet and sad and I love him, I guess thatâs the point of this post.

As long as nobody ever finds out.
Our society has a severe issue with performative activism, and mental health is a huge example of this. Every time someone considers reaching out, they run through this list mentally. This is why true activists and resources need to be loudly supportive of all the things on this list. Take the subtext out of your support.
sorry i tried to drink your blood i think you're cute
Did you ever just feel so lucky for knowing someone you met online? Like.. I was one click away from not following you. I was one second away from never even knowing of your existence.I would never have been this happy!!!...
