In The Spirit Of Encouraging People To Comment On Fanfics While Also Making It Easier To Do So, I Feel

In the spirit of encouraging people to comment on fanfics while also making it easier to do so, I feel obliged to share a browser extension for ao3 that has quite literally revolutionized the comment game for me.

I present to you: the floating ao3 comment box!

From what I've seen, a big problem for many people is that once you reach the comments at the bottom of a fic, your memory of it miraculously disappears. Anything you wanted to say is stuck ten paragraphs ago, and you barely remember what you thought while reading. This fixes that!

I'll give a little explanation on the features and how it works, but if you want to skip all that, here's the link.

The extension is visible as a small blue box in the upper left corner.

(Side note: The green colouring is not from the extension, that's me.)

In The Spirit Of Encouraging People To Comment On Fanfics While Also Making It Easier To Do So, I Feel

If you click on it, you open a comment box window at the bottom of your screen but not at the bottom of the fic. I opened my own fic for demonstrative purposes.

In The Spirit Of Encouraging People To Comment On Fanfics While Also Making It Easier To Do So, I Feel

The website also gives explanations on how exactly it functions, but I'll summarize regardless.

insert selection -> if you highlight a sentence in the fic it will be added in italics to the comment box

add to comment box -> once you're done writing your comment, you click this button and the entire thing will automatically copied to the ao3 comment box

delete -> self explanatory

on mulitchapter fics, you will be given the option to either add the comment to just the current chapter or the entire fic

The best part? You can simply close the window the same way you opened it and your progress will automatically be saved. So you can open it, comment on a paragraph, and then close it and keep reading without having the box in your face.

Comments are what keep writers going, and as both a writer and a reader, I think it's such an easy way of showing support and enthusiasm.

21 and 44 for kamui on the oc ask thingy !!

21. What’s more important to them, friends or family?

Family. Definitely. He adores his brothers. He has a lot of friends, but there’s a lot of drama in every direction there because of who he is.

44. Who, if anyone, would they trust with their deepest secrets?

Hatsuaki. Absolutely no one else, because he knows that Hatsuaki’s seen more of his chaos than anyone else and still loves him.

Ooof… I hate to do this again, but I don’t feel comfortable answering questions like these about other people’s fics— you could send me some of mine if you’d like, and I’d still be happy to do it, but I just do not feel comfortable at all answering questions like “how would I combine these two fics” about someone else’s work.

⊞▵❖ for the ask game

I would love to do these, but as far as I can tell these ones require you to give me some fics or more context so I can answer them? If you resend them with the fics you want me to talk about, I’d love to answer you!

So I just posted two fics on Ao3, check em out if you want! They’re separate, you don’t need knowledge of one for the other. Also #2 has some P5R spoilers if you’re worried about that!

~

Ryuji sprints home, and practically breaks the door off his hinges slamming it open.

“Ma!”

“Ryuji!” Kaida Sakamoto comes out of the living room, and Ryuji can see the news announcement still blaring on the TV behind her.

“Mom, I can explain-” Ryuji’s cut off by the sound of sirens.

“Shit. Ryuji, the closet!”

I know this is kinda out of nowhere but I was going through some of my really old ao3 tabs and I stumbled across some of your Ace Attorney fics and I know you in my head as the one person that’s out there writing Souma/Arata fics (thank you for that btw) so I got a little jumpscared when I saw your username in one of my old ass ao3 tabs and like this is the second time something like this has happened to me with fanfic authors (it’s happened countless times with fanartists) and cemented that the pipelines are real, I just thought it was funny and thought I’d share lmao

Ah! My old AA fics… I haven’t written for AA in forever, though I have replayed the games about twenty-million times since then. I’m glad you enjoyed my old works too! Thank you so much!

Y'know, I see a lot of posts urging people to comment on fics, so I just want to say, to all the people who do comment, and especially the long commenters:

thank you.

Long comments can be time-consuming. They can be difficult to write, but you leave them anyway!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, to everyone who comments.

You are the highlight of fanfiction writers' days.
