If you’re ever like “but what do fic writers even WANT.”

a book report

They want a book report.

They want you to get 9th grade English up in their shit. 

Remember having to write ad nauseam about the symbolism of that stupid conch in Lord of the Flies? They want you to do that about Steve Roger’s shield and Emma Swan’s jacket.

WHoa seriously?? People WANT this?
Holy crap, I always thought I’d be really rude to leave an overly long comment on something, or it’d just be super creepy for me to babble a load of emotional attatchment I had to their product, or all my wild fan theories which are probably wrong…
I mean.. I know if I ever created something I’d wanna see comments like that, but I’m a weirdo and I haven’t even created anything anyway so what do I know?
Umm.. yeah.. so… at my followers and friends and stuff: does anyone agree with this? Do I have permission to really ramble embarrassingly and honestly when I like your stuff, or would you prefer short and semi-rational comments?

I agree! I really like to read people toughts on my stuff, no matter the writing style.

I always LOVE knowing that readers understand why I chose certain ways of getting things across! I also love seeing which bits OTHER PEOPLE liked best! Since I’m the author, I’m biased. I either think my work is brilliant or I have crushing doubts.

So – whichever you want, or feel comfortable with!

Long comments and rambles make my day so much you don’t even know

PLEASE DO THIS WITH ANYTHING I WRITE I CRAVE FEEDBACK AND I WANT TO KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THE THING

Yep, co-signed. I try to drop a lot of symbolism and deliberate symmetry and I always wonder if people catch them.

Not that I don’t appreciate all the OMG YOU MONSTER YOU MADE ME CRY’s because it’s real privilege to make people feel something with nothing but words.

But I love it when you tell me your discoveries.

Abso-fucking-lutely! Long comments about symbols and meaning give me stupid grins for days. 😀

YES!

Anything between incoherent type-yelling and an entire essay is great, trust me.
