#nice comments to me

First of all LOVE your username

And second of all, agree with the points you’re making about T90sS

I’m mixed about these last 2 “parts”!

(This is @carthatrunsonwater btw lol)

First, back at ya! 😊

Second, I'm glad my initial thoughts about Parts 2 and 3 jibe with you (although it's, of course, totally cool if any of them don't 😅).

Oof, haven’t bumped into your comics in YEARS but I literally thought about you after rewatching That ‘90s Show and a minute later Tumblr pops up a notification about your blog! I’m so happy to see you’re still doing those, and a fan! <3 (I used to spam you a lot on DeviantArt like… way too many years ago. :D)

Aww! 😊 This message is lovely. Thank you! ❤️

I have another batch (episode) of comics not quite ready to go. Unfortunately, my colon exploded at the beginning of March, and I almost died. 😬 I'm continuing to recover (well, but it's a somewhat frustrating process). So finishing those comics is a low priority right now. (It's "just" sizing and placing dialogue boxes, but there are a looooot for a looooot of comics 😅).

I hope you're doing well! I'm sure you've lived a lot of life after following the comics on DA. 😁

As a writer, I love going back through the comments I've gotten on AO3. I promise that the minute you take of your time has been appreciated for hours/months/years

"Tell your favorite creators that you like their work, people usually enjoy things silently, but hate tends to be loud"

This is a phrase I just heard from Dnd shorts that captures perfectly why I often try to make the effort of commenting on posts and telling people that I enjoy their work and why Even to small creators, I advice everyone to make the extra effort to tell them, I can guarantee it makes all the difference in the world, it's not cringy or obnoxious, it'll just brighten someone's day

Greetings! I hope you are well, I greatly admire your writing, it is the type that if you feel nostalgic or want comfort you reread and it is a pleasant space to be in mentally. I wanted to know if there is the slightest and perhaps minuscule possibility that your plans are to write a Jackiexhyde fic where instead of chasing Donna during the first season, he is chasing Jackie. Yes, I know that at that time they really disliked each other but there is something really curious about Hyde's attitude from season one that makes me say to myself "hmm just imagine the possibilities of this carefree Hyde who goes wherever the wind takes him." What if it had been like that with Jackie instead of the apprehensive person and prepared for everything to go wrong that he really was (because let's admit it before starting he was already preparing the funeral of their relationship) I want to think that the reason why Hyde is so different from the moment he tried with Donna compared to when he tried with Hackie, the thing is that by season 5 he was already a man fed up and disappointed with even those he didn't know, while Hyde season one still retained a minimum of innocence. And let's admitted that if learns how to dance is a romantic gesture, sure as hell Would be THE GESTURE for Jackie

First, thank you so much for your kind words! I'm happy you enjoy my writing. ☺️

A set of specific circumstances drive Hyde to pursue Donna in S1. She and Eric aren't official(ly, concretely) together yet. Hyde tries to stop Eric from giving Donna his class ring since then Eric and Donna are official, and Hyde won't go after his best friend's girl. Of course, Hyde is in deep denial and ignores Donna's directly stated, "I'm here with Eric, not you," in "Ski Trip" (1x13) then (rather delusionally) tells her in "First Date" (1x16) tells her he believes she has (romantic) feelings for her.

Jackie is officially Kelso's girlfriend from (before) "That '70s Pilot" (1x01). Ignoring his dislike of Jackie, Hyde wouldn't pursue her romantically because of that. But this problem has an easy fix: when Jackie suggests she and Kelso break up in "That '70s Pilot" since she can tell he's not enjoying their time together, Kelso agrees. Their relationship ends after two weeks of dating (exposition cut from the U.S S1 eps but remains in the U.K. eps).

For me, though, this story would be a major canon-divergent AU, necessitating too many changes to Hyde and Jackie's fundamental S1 characterization (for me to be inspired to write). My fic One Difference: The Answer's Probably Yes is close to your premise but folds canon into it.

As a consolation, here's a comic I made where Hyde gets refresher dancing lessons for his wedding to Jackie.

And a ficlet I wrote showing the aftermath of Jackie tricking Hyde into taking a backroom dancing lesson (a throw-away line on the show that adds significantly about what we don't see on-screen of Jackie and Hyde's relationship).

hi! :) I normally don't message fic authors but I needed you to know that I am absolutely in love with your work. I'm about half way through Jackie Stargazer right now and it's one of the best fanfictions I've ever read, and I can't wait to see how it turns out. I love your inclusion of 90s punk culture in it so much, and was wondering what your biggest music inspirations were for the music in the fic?

Thank you so much for reaching out and sharing this with me! It means a lot in general and particularly about Jackie Stargazer. 😊❤️

was wondering what your biggest music inspirations were for the music in [Jackie Stargazer]?

I like to keep that info private so readers can imagine the music based on their own interpretations of the song descriptions in the story (e.g., chords, musical textures, etc.) and people's own possible knowledge of the early-mid '90s rock scene (as well as the more underground, non-hair-metal '80s rock scene that influenced some of those '90s bands or became them ... once they finally emerged above ground *ahem*). 🎶

I was talking to a classmate about my problem with some modern feminist retellings of old myths and another classmate went "I like you. You're not like the other snowflakes" and I'm like hm. I don't think we're on the same page here

Yall need to interact with fanfiction author's more.

So. After the ddos attack on ao3.

I was encouraged to write more comments and make my love known to fanfic writers.

I dont really like commenting. Because im a bit shy and soooo lazy.

Now though. I am writing more comments. And dude. This is so heartwarming. Ya'll need to treat writers better. They are doing the lord's work.

Take for an example, couple of days prior, i was searching for something interesting to read, and found an oneshot quite compelling.

I read it. At the end of it, i was blown away by how good it was. It promised me something and it went beyond my expectations. But then i saw a crime, zero fucking comments!

At that moment, i wasn't feeling up to writing a comment. Because, normally i like to write huge paragraphs. But because im lazy i decided to be brief.

Next day, the author answered that the comment lift their mood for the whole day.

That warmed my heart.

Duuuuuuuude! Write comments! Suport the writers of the fics you like! No need to be something super elaborate. Just give your thoughts. Freak out. Ramble. Ask something. Make theories. Compliment. Make a joke about how you wished to give kudos every chapter but ao3 sucks(not true bby) and won't let you.

Truly. Just. Comment. It can make someone's day. And that is part of the apeal of writing fics. Interacting with people.

Just give love to fanfic writers yall. They deserve this and so much more.
