Dear readers that keep a straight face during smut but need to take a breather during fluff:

How’s that fear of intimacy going?

The Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries fandom is almost non-existent, even here, so I am just going to have to become the fandom. This is a warning.

thing that make me go "adsfdghjkj" (as a reader / fiction enthusiast)

whispered promises

kisses on rings

remembering something the love interest said offhandedly

that ~feeling~ when someone is there

that moment where the foreshadowing clicks

dancing in the rain

dancing in the dark

just dancing, really

dancing while plotting a murder

the marriage scene between Elizabeth and Will (iykyk)

holding them closer

whispering the same thing from far away

cursing under their breath

looking to find them and they're not there

consistency (r2 refusing to leave Luke because of what happened with Anakin the last time he was told to stay behind)

shutting about certain subjects with certain people but confessing everything to another

knowing looks

taking turns protecting each other

finishing sentences / thoughts

* tension *

excuses for butterflies

exhaling at a touch

looking away quickly when they were spotted looking

Things I’m convinced all readers do:

• the invisible camera

• the talking to a nonexistent audience

• the measuring with your hand to see how reasonable or unreasonable the writer is being (if you know you know👀👀)

• the slamming the book/phone/kindle down to get yourself together in dramatic scenes

• when you legit need to take a lap 🚶‍♀️🔂to compose yourself from the EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER some of y’all put us through

• the reread of a paragraph because that sentence was SO unexpected that you didn’t give it the emotion it needed the first time so you need to absorb it properly and react accordingly

• the OH WAIT I KNOW THE PERFECT SONG FOR THIS CHAPTER (followed by a run to Spotify)

And many many more (feel free to add to this list because I love hearing ppls reading quirks)

Gonna pile on here as another fic author: I don't think most people realize that authors can and do read public bookmarks, but oh god I wish they would, it's somehow worse then getting outright hate in the inbox

I write popular stuff like you, which I think makes it worse? (which is also why this is on anon lol) People assume I'll never see them say my fic is overhyped or too long, I guess

I have a lot of grace for the accidental public bookmarks. I know it happens sometimes. I've seen this argument wrung six different ways on the ao3 subreddit, and the conclusion I always come to is this: even if it's not done with malicious intent, it does affect authors. And you can't just expect authors to ignore a bookmark that 1) they cannot remove and 2) is slapped right onto their fic for everyone else to see.

It's like walking up to a busker playing piano on the subway and leaving a permanent sticky note on their keyboard that says "6/10 meh could've been better" that they can't ever take off. And they just have to look at it, and make their peace with it, which are important things for creators to be able to do, of course, but puts the onus of being the "better person" solely on the author?

"Well don't look at the bookmarks" "it's not a bad rating" "bookmarks are for readers, not authors" I GET these points. I am also a reader. I read and use bookmarks as recs. But giving out unsolicited criticism, regardless of venue, has always been seen as distasteful. Especially when the things being criticized are done 1) for free 2) in the author's spare time and 3) are so easy to suppress/crush with one poorly-placed comment or bookmark.

I don't say this to rant about how my own writing has been impacted by bookmarks, because while I'll bitch about it here, I'm not really thinking about myself. I'm thinking about the baby author or the new fandom arrival whose success and presence in this fandom is so tenuous, that one bookmark can knock them out of the game entirely. I'm talking about when we forget that there are real people, with real lives, on the other side of that ao3 username. The people who have quit writing because of stuff like this.

I'm not saying you have to like every fic. I'm not saying you can't rec fics to others with valid criticisms attached -- we all do it! Hey, I loved this fic but it's a little rough at the start! I've said that so many times. Would I ever put that in my public bookmark of that work? Absolutely not.

If you've erred with public bookmarks, it's not the end of the world. Make them private or maybe add some thoughts to the bookmark other than a rating. I've seen too many rating "codes" to believe it's all innocuous mistakes. And trust me, slapping a 2/5 on a poor little oneshot is one of the worst things you can do to a new or aspiring author.

TIP: Whenever I'm in the mood for fics set post-canon (or at least post-confession) I filter fics by date too.

This makes it easier to find everything, since there's still a large chunk of fics without timestamp tags or an accurate "post canon" tag i.e. fics set after x season as that was the current canon of the time.

Hope this helps!!

I love when text is formatted to be in multiple little blocks.

Reading has become rather difficult for me. I was a bookish kid, but my attention span must have deteriorated as I got older and had to deal with more information, more words, more thoughts. Nowadays, pages full of uninterrupted text feel endless to me, endless and laborious and exhausting and difficult.

That's something I love about reading stories/books online/on my phone. The formatting is lighter and easier to me, and most of all:

Every little block of text that I read feels like a small achievement.

types of villainfuckers I respect:

"I can fix him"

"I can't fix him, no one can, but fucking him wouldn't make it worse"

types of villainfuckers I don't respect:

"noooo he did nothing wrong and that's why it's okay I think he's hot"

Hi! I love this blog and I've been enjoying doing the bingo card. I'm just curious how people are incorporating the "comment bargaining firstborn for more" square into their comments. I'm honestly having a hard time thinking of a way to phrase it that doesn't seem rude or demanding, but I'm probably just overthinking it. Just want to make sure it comes off as excited and appreciative and not like I'm pressuring the author. Thanks in advance for any advice <3

DEFINITELY the most inherently unhinged task on the whole card 😂 and the one i've been most curious how people would approach (because i agree, there's a fine line between hyperbolic enthusiasm and demanding entitlement).

Originally I was envisioning one of those comically over-the-top type of comments (rending of clothes/hair vibes) that follows something they'd been intensely anticipating or dreading or some diabolical cliffhanger that left them chewing drywall.

So, imagining that context, in the spirit of full-blown over-the-topness, I personally would produce something along the lines of

I am worshipping this story. I am building an altar to this story. I am sacrificing my dearest possessions and hypothetical firstborn to this story so that you may have all the time energy and word magic required for the rest of this story you absolute wizard amen 🙏

Some people are SO GOOD at those hilariously unhinged torrents of praise?? I wouldn't consider myself one of them usually, but I can think of a few stories that left me frothing at the mouth enough to have triggered this kind of comment!!

Edited to add: other proposed strategies below ⬇️

[following long comment] If you ever wrote more of this AU i think i would actually give you my first born.

[following unhinged chewing of drywall] "hey btw I would give you my firstborn (a christmas cactus) for more of [main character of fic]"

thank you @runarelle @flickersprout for suggestions!

#comment bingo #comment demo #feed the fandom fest #reader things #thank you for feeding the ask box #ALSO remember you can always modify a task to suit your comfort level!!#anything in the spirit of the task is all good #so in this case “the spirit” of the task would “utterly unhinged enthusiasm”#always makes for such delightful comments

i was walking through a parking lot in the light rain and there was a car with the backseat window open. a tattoo’d hand was sticking out of it with an expensive looking wrist watch holding a cigarette between two fingers.

i couldn’t see their face but goddamn they were hot.
