idk if people genuinely do panic about leaving comments on old fics, but tbh as someone who has older fics that are still somewhat popular, one of my favorite comments to get is from someone who says that they are coming back to reread or that they're "finally" leaving a comment after rereading so often. i always reread my favorite fics over and over, so it fills me w/joy when i get those comments even - or especially - for fics that were written years ago.
#liveblogging life#just got one of these on my hobbit fic that still gets consistent comments/kudos and is probably my most popular fic still#and tbh it gives me such joy! i love knowing people reread my stuff!#also i put finally in quotes bc i genuinely never feel like someone 'has' to leave comments no matter how much they reread or w/e#comments are like a little extra treat for me - i love them but i'm usually just baffled to get them lmao#bc the fics i write are... so genuinely written directly to my own tastes and for my own enjoyment#i share them a) bc it's fun b) bc publishing them gives me more motivation to finish them since there's accountability involved#and c) bc then i sometimes get little comment treats!#but like... the idea that i'm 'owed' comments or that readers MUST comment is just like. so wildly different to how i view things#that EVERY TIME i see fic writers making posts about it im kind of like... lmao okay and move on#anyway just saying this bc it does give me a little glowy feeling every time & people just really shouldnt ever be anxious#when they comment on old fics. authors love that shit lol
