I’ve also had wonderful fandom friendships blossom from commenting on even the smutty stuff, so I can say from experience that leaving a comment is always worth it! ☺️
I can guarantee you any writer would be excited to hear even a short “I liked this so much!” Most of the fanfic groups I run in are full of writers who are discourage that hardly anyone engages and comments anymore. Any words are always appreciated!
I always get nervous about saying something that might upset the writer, or expressing myself badly because English is not my first language. But yeah, I try to do it because I also love receiving comments on my drawings and I know how it feels 🫶
Comment in your native language! And as long as you aren’t saying “Boo, this sucks” or “Hey, you should do this part differently,” you probably won’t upset the writer. ❤️
You can copy & paste this code into the comment box on AO3 that will indeed leave second kudos! But really, authors will appreciate even just leaving a heart as a comment, it tells us that you care. And I know a commenter who just comments “Extra kudos!” https://www.tumblr.com/samisnotlegend/713350493743775744?source=share
