Day 5

Leave feedback for a fanwork. Or multiple fanworks. It can be as simple as I liked this to a detailed list of all the things you loved about the fanwork. The key is to leave some sort of feedback.

If you've already left feedback in the course of a previous challenge, it totally counts. But you're free to leave more feedback.

Afterwards, leave a comment in this post with the equivalent of "I did it!" If you feel so inclined, leave a link to the fanwork you left feedback for so others can check it out.


Done!

I read Fidelis by the_ragnarok, which was a really lovely look at John Reece's urgent need to be owned. Urgent. This is also the theme running through the current PoI fic that I'm writing. :D

I make a practice of leaving feedback regularly, for pretty much everything I read - kudos are for re-reads. Feedback on AO3 means a hell of a lot to me, and it's also a huge factor in whether I decide to read anyone else's work - my fic wouldn't meet my own standards, of course. I'm not very good at feedback, and it's mostly a variation on 'Thank you so much, this was a fantastic read!' but it's worth the couple seconds. Sometimes feedback is the only decent thing about your day.

I like to leave kudos for re-reads, too; it spreads out the amount of love I can leave on a work.

I always try to comment on the things I enjoy, especially in small fandoms where I feel like if I leave comments maybe I'll get more fic in return, but sometimes the brain won't brain. And then the kudos button saves the day by being a quick way to say: THANK YOU FOR THIS THING I LIKED.

I often leave comments on stories I've read multiple times, because I know I love to hear that as a writer, but for some reason I feel like more than two comments on a piece is going to make me sound like a weirdo. Which is ridiculous. I should get over that and just keep commenting.

I absolutely agree that A03 comments are vital. I just got two on something I put up that I was very nervous over and reading two nice comments did wonders for my confidence.

Also, thanks for that PoI rec! I'm looking forward to reading it.

I used to be a frequent fic-commenter, but somehow fell out of the habit. The last half-year or so, I've been trying to get back to that, and I think I'm making some progress at it...
