BTW i see these posts all the time like "ohhh i dont know what to comment on fics.." and every response is "keysmashes! or hearts!! anything works :3" and thats GREAT!! thats helpful!!
but: consider. if u genuinely like analyzing writing.. do u know ur just allowed to go through and quote your favorite parts and ramble abt what they mean to u and the author will LOSE IT WITH HYPE?
genuinely. i felt SO WEIRD the first time i did it.. but like. holy shit authors love it. its crack for authors. the first time i did it, it was on a fic that hadnt updated in half a year, give or take, and the author made 3 updates that month BECAUSE OF MY COMMENT.
LIKE. as an author every comment is INCREDIBLE!!! but also, dont feel like your comment has to be short or otherwise ur invasive or smth!! authors ADORE long comments more than ANYTHING.
"You're losing blood" no I know exactly where it is. The floor. Don't ever underestimate me.
lunara probably told her this... nobody say ANYTHING.
(clean version under cut)
Judging by the fanfic I've been posting, the way to engage with readers is to make a little guy and then be really mean to them.
he just committed a murder
Guy who didnt satisfy his partner during sex cryign and punching himself in the balls going STUPID STUPID STUPID!!
Chapter 6 is out!
There's stuff! There's revelations! There's bees! There's more bees! There's so many bees! I cannot stress enough how many bees there are.
And we’re off! Next story is up on AO3, and updates should come at least once every ten days as with previous (I just realised I’m working off a tenday-based schedule, this was not intentional), and I will try to post here in case of a delay.
Chapter 12 - Bad People! (I did consider naming it Good People to fit the apparent running theme of hilariously optimistic chapter titles I've had recently but no)
One day late, I forgot to say yesterday - whoops - but, fun fact, today is the one year anniversary of me posting the first chapter of More Graves to Dig, how wild is that? Feels crazy to think it's been that long already.

characters have to be a little bit awful in ways that you cant defend. its good for the ecosystem. your honor he did do that. He did in fact do that
Being a writer is so weird. You just go "hey I'm gonna invent a guy to emotionally devastate you with, who's in?" and people from all over the world are like "fuck yeah I'm in"
I write BG3 fanfic about having a bad time and learning to carry on anyway! It's good fun! And also devastating!
